Valby’s outfit marks a significant departure from her typically covered-up appearance. The turquoise bikini and Albion-branded jacket offer a revealing look for the character. Notably this bundle includes Valby’s first helmet-free head option.
Viessa’s monokini swimsuit aligns more closely with her existing design. The bundle includes ocean blue earrings to complement the swimsuit colors.
For male characters, NEXON opted for a universal beach look. This outfit can be applied to all male characters providing a consistent summer theme across the roster.
Community Reaction To The First Descendant Summer Vacation Skins
The release of these skins has elicited mixed responses from the player base. Many fans express excitement, particularly for the female character’s outfits. Comments on social media platforms indicate a willingness to purchase these cosmetics despite their price point.
However, some players have voiced disappointment with the male character options. The uniform design across all male characters has been criticized as lacking variety and effort compared to the female-specific outfits.
This update follows a growing trend of summer-themed cosmetics in gaming particularly among Asian developers. The revealing nature of some outfits has drawn comparisons to other games like Stellar Blade which recently introduced similar cosmetics.
For The First Descendant, these skins represent a shift in the game’s cosmetic offerings. While previous outfits like the Ultimate Bunny costume pushed boundaries, the Summer Vacation skins take this trend further potentially setting expectations for future cosmetic releases.
