**Kim Min-seok:**
> Achieved 5 million sales in the shortest time in Korean console game history, just 26 days after release.
> We sincerely congratulate the achievement of *Crimson Desert*, which has elevated the status of the Korean game industry on the global stage.
> A living game world crafted entirely with their own technology from start to finish, graphics akin to photorealism, and proactive communication that captured the hearts of gamers worldwide. By naturally incorporating Korean elements like taekwondo and Korean cuisine, it has opened a new chapter in K-content.
> This accomplishment serves as a crucial turning point, demonstrating that the domestic game industry can expand and leap forward across diverse platforms, including consoles.
> The government will also take responsibility and provide active support. We will create an environment where K-games can shine as a pillar of K-content.
> Once again, we congratulate Pearl Abyss on achieving 5 million sales of *Crimson Desert*.
Wish it would have been Lies of P or Stellar Blade that hit this sales metrics first but hey still good they are selling lots of copies.
the Korean food in the game always makes me laugh
My favourite Taekwondo move is the RKO, honestly.
Think the game just got lucky releasing at a pretty slow release time. And some big streamers started to stream this out of sheer boredom.
The game is not nearly as good as the internet makes it seem. It’s an average experience that needed more time to develop.
I hope Crimson Desert’s success strengthens the gaming industry in Korea and encourages more single player games developed. Lies of P, Khazan, and now Crimson Desert has been some of my favorite games in the past 5 years. Still upset over Mudang’s cancelation. That game had so much potential

Damn this must be how they’re pumping out massive weekly patches with additional next-day hotfixes. I love the dev response times but also feel guilty knowing how tirelessly theyre all working on improving this masterpiece
People claim noone wants ubisoft style open world slop games but thats exactly what this game is
