Nexon Responded and Took Concerns Regarding to The Uncanny Resemblance Icon with Destiny 2

Earlier this week, a wave of scrutiny hit the gaming community as players noticed an uncanny resemblance between the icons and weapon designs of Nexon’s new sci-fi shooter, The First Descendant, and those found in Bungie’s well-established Destiny 2. The revelations have sparked a heated debate, leading to a formal response from Nexon. In an exclusive interaction with Forbes, Nexon assured fans and critics alike that they are “taking the concerns raised seriously” and committed to distinguishing their game’s unique identity from that of Destiny 2.

Nexon’s Respond to Forbes

Nexon has swiftly responded to the allegations, emphasizing their respect for other games in the looter shooter genre. “The First Descendant, as a looter shooter game, was developed with a deep affection and respect for other games in the genre,” Nexon stated. The company acknowledged Destiny 2’s significant influence on their development process, expressing admiration for Bungie’s creation.

“Destiny 2, being a globally renowned looter shooter game, is also personally admired and respected by the team, and it has served as an inspiration during the development process,” Nexon continued. This statement underscores the complexity of innovation within the same genre, where similarities can sometimes blur the lines of originality.

In light of the concerns, Nexon has pledged to make necessary adjustments to “ensure that the imagery that may appear similar clearly reflects the unique identity of our game.” This commitment demonstrates Nexon’s dedication to fostering a distinct brand for The First Descendant, despite the inevitable crossovers in a genre dominated by a few leading titles.

“We have taken the concerns raised seriously and decided to make adjustments to ensure that the imagery that may appear similar clearly reflects the unique identity of our game. We will continue to improve the game for fans of the looter shooter genre,” Nexon concluded.

Now, we just have to wait to see what major updates or changes Nexon will bring in the future patch.
