During its Q4 2023 earnings call, Pearl Abyss shared plans for the upcoming Crimson Desert game. Thus, it became known that in the summer of 2024 players will be involved in testing the game, and now the project is being tested by business partners and active work is underway to optimize the game and correct all comments.
Full marketing will begin in the second half of the year, and expanding test participants will be the first step in this process. The release could take place as early as the end of 2024, when the advertising campaign reaches its climax.
The repeated postponement of the release date, according to the CEO of Pearl Abyss, is due to the large amount of content and high quality of the game that the developers strive for. Let us remember that development started in 2018, and the release was planned for 2021.
Crimson Desert is a single-player game that tells the story of mercenaries on the continent of Pywell. The project is being developed on Pearl Abyss’s own game engine and will boast both incredible graphics and a high level of player freedom. It was previously reported that the game will be released on PC and XBOX S/X and PlayStation 5 consoles.
