Highlights
After a two-year silence, Pearl Abyss will finally share news about Crimson Desert at Gamescom, where a new gameplay trailer will be revealed.
Crimson Desert, taking place in the same fictional universe as Black Desert, offers players a captivating open-world experience on the continent of Pywel. The game revolves around the protagonist, Macduff, who leads a band of mercenaries. With the anticipation building among fans, they eagerly await news of a release date for Crimson Desert. Additionally, there is curiosity surrounding the potential inclusion of DokeV, a project that draws inspiration from the popular Pokemon franchise.
South Korean studio Pearl Abyss will finally share highly anticipated news about Crimson Desert with fans later this month, marking the first update in nearly two years. The game's social media feeds have been dormant since 2021 when it was announced that the release had been postponed indefinitely due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Initially intended as a prequel to the award-winning MMORPG Black Desert, Crimson Desert has evolved into a standalone open-world single-player game set in the continent of Pywel. The plot details are currently scarce, but players will assume the role of the mercenary leader Macduff, unraveling his intriguing past throughout the gameplay. Pearl Abyss unveiled Crimson Desert during The Game Awards in 2020, teasing it as a winter 2021 project through a captivating 5-minute gameplay trailer. However, the scheduled release window has long since passed, leaving fans in suspense as Pearl Abyss remained silent on the project.
Geoff Keighley announced on Twitter that Crimson Desert will unveil a new gameplay trailer during Gamescom Opening Night Live on Tuesday, August 22, at 2:00 p.m. Eastern. This marks the first news update for Crimson Desert in nearly two years and adds to the already impressive lineup of announcements at Gamescom, which includes games like Black Myth: Wukong and Assassin's Creed Mirage. Although Keighley clarified that the focus of the event will be on previously announced titles, anticipation and excitement for the show continue to grow.
Upon the unexpected return of Crimson Desert, Twitter users responded with a mixture of excitement and cautious optimism. While the game was initially confirmed to be compatible with PS4, Xbox One, PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S, support for the previous generation of consoles has diminished since its initial reveal in late 2020. Furthermore, fans speculate whether another project from Pearl Abyss called DokeV, which was revealed at Gamescom in 2021 and takes inspiration from Pokemon, will also make a comeback alongside Crimson Desert. Only time will reveal what lies ahead for both projects.
Crimson Desert, featuring stunning landscapes and action-packed battles inspired by Black Desert, returns as a delightful and unforeseen revelation. We eagerly await what Pearl Abyss has in store for us at Gamescom, and we anticipate the confirmation of the release date for Crimson Desert.
Crimson Desert is currently being developed for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
