The finalists for The First Descendant's 2025 Skin Contest are locked in, bringing fresh cosmetic layers to the battle for Ingris continent. These community-crafted designs aren't just visual upgrades—they weave into the lore of Descendants uncovering ancient secrets while fending off invaders.
Grand Prize winners will see their skins integrated into the game during the first half of 2026, letting players forge their paths with personalized flair that enhances role-playing immersion. Gold winners get cash equivalents of their Caliber prizes—$200 for Grand and $100 for Gold—due to platform shifts, plus an updated in-game title now reading 'Honorable Art' instead of 'Honorable Artist.'
What This Means for Your Descendant's Journey
Imagine delving into mysteries on Ingris with a skin that reflects your own creative twist on the Descendants' legacy. These additions expand character development options, making your fight against alien threats feel more uniquely yours. It's a nod to the community's role in shaping the narrative, turning players into co-authors of the sci-fi saga.
When Will the Winning Skins Arrive in The First Descendant?
Expect the Grand Prize skins to drop by June 2026, giving you new ways to customize and strengthen your build amid ongoing missions and boss fights.
