The First Descendant Hotfix 1.3.25b Patch Notes (17th April 2026)
A small hotfix lands the day after Update 1.3.25, bringing two new cosmetic bundles to the Shop.
One day after Update 1.3.25 brought Onslaught Mode and the Viessa rework, Nexon is back with a quick follow-up. Hotfix 1.3.25b went live on April 17 across Steam, Xbox, and PS5, and it's a light one.
The entire patch comes down to a single addition: 'Smokey's Diva Bundle I' and 'Smokey's Diva Bundle II' are now available in the Shop. Both bundles went live for purchase at 00:30 PDT following the hotfix. If you load in and can't see them, the fix is a full Shop UI close and re-open. Nexon also flagged that players who don't reconnect within 30 minutes of the patch may get booted from the game, so reconnect sooner rather than later.
No bug fixes, no balance changes. This is purely a cosmetic drop, which makes it one of the smaller hotfixes you'll see. Not every patch needs to move mountains, but after the density of 1.3.25, a cosmetic bundle push is a noticeable gear shift. Here's everything that changed.
