The developers of The First Descendant have revealed exciting updates to their game’s character animations, focusing on refining the physics behind certain movements. Last year, they announced plans to enhance the physics of character motion, particularly for female characters, and now these improvements are nearing completion.

Dubbed the “Dynamic Motion” system, this feature is set to debut as part of the May update. While the development team is still fine-tuning the mechanics, they provided a sneak peek during a recent live stream. Starting at the 1:08:30 mark of the broadcast, viewers were treated to a demonstration of the updated physics in action, showcasing several characters with noticeably enhanced animations.

This system aims to add a layer of realism and dynamism to character movements, making them more responsive and natural during gameplay. While the focus has been on how these changes affect specific physical traits, the developers emphasize that the goal is to create a more immersive and visually engaging experience overall.

The “Dynamic Motion” update reflects the team’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of visual fidelity and animation quality in The First Descendant. As a cooperative looter shooter, the game already boasts vibrant visuals and fast-paced action, and these enhancements are expected to elevate the experience even further.
