Crimson Desert is an upcoming open world action adventure developed and published by Pearl Abyss set to be released in winter 2021.[1]
Overview
Through a host of gritty characters and cinematic cutscenes, Crimson Desert tells the story of mercenaries struggling to survive in the vast continent of Pywel. The game's story of struggle takes place in a war-torn medieval fantasy setting that is befitting of the game's tagline: A Saga Written in Blood.
Crimson Desert's main character Macduff, son of Martinus, leads a small band of mercenaries, but finds himself beleaguered by the burdens of leadership and painful memories of his past.[2]
Development
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.[3] 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.[4]
