Nexon has yet to announce the release date for The First Descendant, its latest cooperative looter shooter. Thankfully, players on consoles and PCs can get a taste of the game through the Open Beta test. Still, one question lingers among fans. Is it worth it to progress far in The First Descendant Open Beta, and will it carry over to the full game?
