Samsung partners with NEXON to unveil ‘The First Descendant’ as world’s first game with HDR10+ GAMING
Samsung has announced a partnership with NEXON to introduce the “The First Descendant” as the world’s first gaming title featuring the High Dynamic Range (HDR) 10+ GAMING standard. The third-person co-op action RPG shooter will be unveiled officially at Gamescom 2023 later this month.
HDR10+ GAMING Technology provides gamers with the ultimate HDR game experience through deeper color, contrast and brightness, said Samsung. It also enables more accurate depiction of details in dark shadows and bright highlights, which allows users to fully engage in their gaming adventure, the company added.
HDR10+ GAMING supports an optimized experience that eliminates the hassle of adjusting numerous manual settings. And it enables enhanced gameplay with near-instant responses through low latency and variable refresh rate support.
Furthermore, the standard provides developers with tools that allow consistent and reliable HDR gaming experiences across all HDR10+ GAMING displays.
Samsung said that the “The First Descendant” will be the first gaming title that will fully leverage the HDR10+ GAMING standard. It promises the most responsive, accurate and frictionless HDR gaming experiences to date.
The HDR10+ ecosystem now has 155 partners and over 7,000 certified devices including TVs, monitors, projectors, smartphones, tablets, set-top boxes and more, said the company.
Samsung’s latest gaming monitors and TV lineups also support the HDR10+ GAMING standard, further reinforcing the company’s leadership in the gaming industry.
NEXON recently announced that the crossplay open beta test of “The First Descendant” will begin on September 19.
Commenting on this, Seokwoo Jason Yong, Executive Vice President of the Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics, said:
We’re thrilled to join forces with NEXON, a true pioneer in video games, to introduce the world’s first HDR10+ GAMING title, ‘The First Descendant’. This is a gaming milestone that goes beyond mere technological advancement; it represents Samsung’s continued commitment to enhance the gaming experience as technology evolves.
Hyun Kim, Executive Vice President and Deputy Head of Business Development at NEXON, said:
By adopting HDR10+ GAMING, we are bringing the game to life in a way that was previously not possible. This partnership with Samsung is also raising the bar in HDR gaming, and we are excited to usher in this new standard of picture quality in video games.
