The First Descendant team has announced an exciting PAX East Developer Livestream event scheduled for May 11, 2025, at 09:00 PDT. Players can earn a wealth of in-game rewards based on total viewer count, with increasingly valuable items unlocked as viewership milestones are reached.
Earn Cumulative Rewards by Watching the PAX East Livestream
Nexon Games is implementing a viewer-based reward system for their upcoming PAX East presentation. All rewards are cumulative, meaning that if the stream hits higher viewer counts, players will receive all rewards from previous tiers as well. This community-focused approach encourages players to spread the word and participate together.
The livestream will be accessible via YouTube on May 11, 2025. Players need only tune in to qualify for the rewards, which will be distributed to all active accounts.
What rewards can players earn?
The reward structure begins at 3,000 viewers with boost items and scales up to include substantial gameplay enhancements at higher tiers:
- 3,000 viewers: 30% Gold and Kuiper Boosts (1-hour each)
- 4,000 viewers: 30% Descendant EXP and Weapon Proficiency Boosts (1-hour each)
- 5,000 viewers: 5,000,000 Gold and 1 Crystallization Catalyst
- 7,000 viewers: 50 Dimension Analyzers
- 8,000 viewers: Equipment Slot +1
- 9,000 viewers: Descendant Slot +1
- 10,000 viewers: Three exclusive PAX Key Color Paints (Clear Coat Red, Clear White, Enamel Deep Black)
Perhaps most intriguing is the mystery reward teased for reaching 20,000 viewers, which Nexon is keeping under wraps until the milestone is achieved. The special reward is represented by a cryptic image that has already sparked speculation in the community.
