Crimson Desert is an upcoming action adventure game developed and published by Pearl Abyss.[1][2] The game is scheduled to release for PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S in the second quarter of 2025.[3]

Overview

[edit]

Crimson Desert is set in a medieval fantasy world, on a continent called Pywel. Kliff, the main character, is a mercenary who finds himself beleaguered by the burdens of leadership and painful memories of his past.[4]

Development and marketing

[edit]

The game was originally planned as a prequel to Black Desert Online but the development of the game eventually transformed into something else and the game changed to a single player game set in the same universe.[5] In December 2020, after the release of the trailer at the Game Awards, Pearl Abyss released commentary videos to explain the development of the game and their vision for it.[6] The game uses an upgraded version of Black Desert Online proprietary game engine called BlackSpace Engine.[7][8]
