Crimson Desert just dropped a brand-new gameplay overview, and for the first time, the game actually makes sense.
Up until now, Pearl Abyss had mostly shown nonstop combat, boss fights, dragons, and massive action set pieces. but the real question was… what is Crimson Desert really about?
In this video, I break down the latest Crimson Desert overview and talk about the game’s world building, story premise, open world design, factions, quests, and the mysterious Abyss. We finally get a clearer look at Pywel, a massive seamless open world that’s reportedly even bigger than Red Dead Redemption 2.
I also share my thoughts on the three playable characters, faction-based quests, settlement rebuilding, and how Crimson Desert compares to other open-world action RPGs like Assassin’s Creed and RDR2. Plus, I talk about performance concerns on PS5 and consoles, and why I’m cautiously optimistic about Pearl Abyss’ proprietary engine.
If you’ve been confused, skeptical, or just curious about Crimson Desert, this video is for you.
