“I didn’t expect it to be high, but I didn’t expect it to be 57 points either.”
While many of the community’s cries have been regarding negative issues around the game, during a recent Q&A, they gathered in force to request a photo mode for the free-to-play title, seemingly receiving some good news.

During a Q&A session in the game’s official Discord server, multiple players asked the team if they had plans for a photo mode, with some going as far as saying it’s what they need “most, above all.”
The photo mode questions were met with a mostly positive answer from The First Descendant’s development team, with them sharing, “We’ve started discussions about Photo Mode! However, the update timing is still undecided.”
We’ve started discussions about Photo Mode! However, the update timing is still undecided.
As part of the Q&A, the team revealed it is working on a bunch of new content, including progression transfers, a range of changes to skins, including the ability to sell them, and a bunch of different balance changes, which all seem to be being more highly-prioritized than the photo mode, but its confirmation is at least good news.
With it now confirmed for The First Descendant, all that’s left is for me to be a little concerned with how it will be used. The game’s outfits are getting more revealing, and there have been calls from players for jiggle physics, which warranted a response from the same Q&A session, but I’m just going to assume people want to snap The First Descendant’s pretty landscapes. Right?
