Initially slated for Aug. 1, The First Descendant’s week five patch comes with new additions and whets the appetite for further launches. While plenty is coming, it’s merely a drop in the ocean compared to what’s on the roadmap.

In the meantime, you need to be patient while you wait for the servers to return, but we’ll tell you the exact time.

Maintenance in The First Descendant following the July 31 content update ends at 5am PT/7am CT/8am ET/1pm BST/10pm AEST. However, this is only if there any no unforeseen issues with the patch.

As a live service title, downtime in The First Descendant is expected for every major content update, including the launch of season one later this month. That means you will have to get used to the game being unavailable for a period of time.

The servers went offline on July 31 at 12am PT/2am CT/3am ET/8am BST/5pm AEST. A downtime period of five hours may indicate how long servers will be down for future updates, though it may depend on the size of the patch.

When the servers do return, there’s plenty to get stuck into including the new Descendant Luna, the new Ultimate Descendant Ultimate Valby, a new boss fight, new weapons, and new modules.
