In a developer livestream held earlier immediately (by way of TheGamer), Nexon revealed that the PS4 and Xbox One variations of The First Descendant might be shutting down on June nineteenth, which, as TheGamer factors out, is 2 weeks earlier than the primary anniversary of the sport’s unique launch.
