is actually very, very poorly told.Ĭrimson Desert aims to change that by providing a much stronger narrative, offering players a much more prevalent questing system. A narrative that drives the game and the player ever forward… one that 99% of the playerbase doesn’t know exists, ironically enough, because it just doesn’t serve any purpose, and I’ll be the first to admit, as a fan of story in MMOs. Not only will the majority of the world be completely unique to Crimson Desert, but Pearl Abyss wanted to expand a little on the narrative as well.īlack Desert Online has a story. We don’t need the world re-created in a new engine.Īnd Pearl Abyss apparently came to the same conclusion, and not a moment too soon. However, it already exists within Black Desert. Don’t get me wrong, Black Desert has an exceptionally stunning world. Which is a fantastic change – and one for the better. While again, the game was developed initially as a prequel, and therefore shared a lot of the same environments, it seems as though Crimson Desert is re-creating the vast majority of the landmass we get to explore.Īccording to Pearl Abyss specifically, there will be a few “identifiable in-game homages,” but they wanted to create “entirely new worldviews, religions and characters unique to the world of Crimson Desert.” Something that was less connected to Black Desert and featured different lands, a different narrative, and even different characters all together. they wanted to explore more, they wanted to show more, and thus the story, the game, evolved into something that was much more original. Now initially, Crimson Desert was being developed with the goal of telling the history of Black Desert – delving into the game’s past.īut over the course of the development process, Pearl Abyss, the team developing the game realized that they wanted to do more. However, recently there have been not only new information, but also new screenshots released onto the internet – which is what you’re all here for.

I dunno, I’m not gonna say “similarities to a certain popular TV series” but “similarities to a certain popular TV series.” The trailer itself was pretty cool though, it just didn’t really reveal much.

Well, not only do we have a full trailer for the game – which I’m sure you’ve all watched and noticed certain. Official gameplay footage would be revealed a year later in December 2020 along with the announcement that the game will be leaning more towards a multiplayer action adventure game rather than a full-blown MMORPG.So when last we spoke about Crimson Desert, which was a few weeks after the announcement, we knew, what? The game was going to be an MMORPG, that it was going to use new tech to develop the game, and. At least now we have actual confirmation from the studio.Ĭrimson Desert was first announced in 2019 along with monster-taming Digimon-ish MMORPG DokeV and the cancelled exosuit shooter PLAN 8. Back then, it was already evident that the team won’t be making their winter 2021 target release date. We will provide an updated schedule in the future.”Īfter six months of silence, Pearl Abyss resurfaced earlier this month with a video showing actors doing motion capture work for the Black Desert Online spinoff. “Therefore, in order to create the best possible experience, all while ensuring the health and safety of everyone involved in delivering the game, we have decided to delay Crimson Desert’s release.

“We have decided that we need to dedicate more time to adding new ideas for an even deeper, more enriching game,” tweeted Pearl Abyss. In a not-at-all-surprising turn of events, Pearl Abyss has announced that they will be delaying the launch of Crimson Desert indefinitely.
