# Director’s Comments
Greetings, Descendants. This is the Director of The First Descendant, Minseok Joo.Today, I’d like to briefly share some news about our upcoming update. As mentioned in the previous Dev Live, we will be skipping the hotfix scheduled for January 30, which coincides with the Korean Lunar New Year holiday. Instead, we are focusing on preparing for the 1.2.6 minor update, scheduled for release on February 6. This update will include support for keyboard and mouse on consoles, along with platform certifications during this period. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to delivering the minor update on February 6.
1.2.6 Minor Update on February 6 will add Void Erosion Purge Leaderboard, 10 Tiers of Augmentation Cores, and 30 stages of Void Erosion Purge. Let’s see the content advanced with some screenshots.

Void Erosion Purge Leaderboard

We are introducing a leaderboard for Void Erosion Purge that showcases the top players who complete the highest stages in the fastest time. You’ll be able to view rankings not only by platform but also by individual Descendants. Use the leaderboard to study the most effective builds and compete with other Descendants to set record-breaking clear times!

Augmentation Core Upgrade

Craft Core can be accessed through Deslin—yes, it’s Deslin again! 😊
This system allows you to combine lower-tier Augmentation Cores and materials obtained from Void Erosion Purge to create higher-tier Cores. With this update, you’ll be able to craft up to Tier 10 Augmentation Cores, empowering your Ultimate Weapons to reach their full potential.

Void Erosion Purge Stage 30

New stages, ranging from 21 to 30, will be added to Void Erosion Purge.
These stages are significantly more challenging than Stage 20 and will introduce new environments to enhance the experience. The higher the stage, the better the rewards, such as higher-tier Augmentation Cores, but the difficulty will also increase accordingly. Prepare carefully and challenge these new stages to compete on the leaderboard rankings.

In addition to these updates, we’ve prepared various quality-of-life improvements, which will be detailed in a future update patch note. Also, mark your calendars for February 13, when we will release a winter hot spring-themed update. We’ll unveil new skins and share more details about future updates in early February during the next Dev Live, so stay tuned.

As we celebrate the Lunar New Year here in Korea, I’d like to take this opportunity to send my warmest regards to all our global Descendants. May this year be filled with health and happiness for you and your loved ones. We will continue to work hard to bring you joyful experiences throughout the year.

With The Final Descendant constantly getting patches, we will let our readers know when the next update is released very soon
