Are The First Descendant’s servers down?

At the time of writing, The First Descendant servers are offline, as the announced maintenance on July 18, 2024, is underway. We will update this page once the servers are back online, so make sure to check back regularly.

In a post on Twitter/X, the developers said the game would be inaccessible for a period of around five hours, from 12 am PT to 5 am PDT. That means the servers went down around 3 am EDT or 8 am BST.

No exact reason was given for the server maintenance, but the post mentions more details will come in the next Hotfix announcement, so they’re likely related.
