IGN has shared a video, showcasing almost an hour of new gameplay footage from Crimson Desert. Crimson Desert is an open-world action-adventure game, and this video will give you a pretty good idea of what you can expect from it.
In this video, we meet Kliff, the main character of Crimson Desert. We get to see some of the game’s fighting moves as he runs into a group called the Black Bears, has an intense one-on-one duel, and faces a tough enemy called the Split Horn.
Crimson Desert will be using Pearl Abyss’ own engine, the BlackSpace Engine. And overall, the game looks great. From what I can see, there is also no downgrade. However, by today’s standards, Crimson Desert is not as hot as it was back in 2020. That was four years ago. To its credit, Pearl Abyss was able to match the quality of its early demos. Still, the game’s lighting feels a bit dated nowadays.
Anyway, I just hope the gameplay will be worth it. The good news here is that Crimson Desert is a single-player game. Back in 2020, it was an open-world MMORPG. During development, though, Pearl Abyss pivoted and made it an SP title. And, honestly, I’m glad it’s no longer an MMORPG. After all, I’m a big fan of single-player games.
And that is that. We don’t have any new details to share about it. Pearl Abyss hasn’t shared any PC requirements, and we don’t know whether or not the game will support Ray Tracing or DLSS/XeSS. However, we do know that the devs plan to add support for AMD FSR 3.0. Thus, it should be easy to also add support for NVIDIA’s and Intel’s upscaling techs.
There is currently no ETA on when the game will come out. Naturally, though, we’ll be sure to keep you posted.
Enjoy the video and sta tuned for more!
