well, does two things.ġ.) Show ever increasing levels of incompetence, and 2.) Simultaneously hype us up once more for what could arguably be one of the best MMO releases in years: And that is because Pearl Abyss confirmed – once again – via labeling and images – that Crimson Desert is going to release as a fully functional MMORPG. And in their hour long video, confirmed via images something that. Pearl Abyss have once again made an appearance. Fast forward to November 2022, just shy of 2 years later, after 23 months of complete silence. It just wouldn’t work as an MMO, and in creating a single-player title, they could craft a deeper, more meaningful experience for us.

But Pearl Abyss once more promised that this was the direction the game needed to go. This was a monumental blow to players, who had remained excited all year. Because in the very same showcase, they confirmed the game would no longer be an MMO, rather, a full, single-player RPG with multiplayer aspects being developed. 13 months later – with not a sliver of information released up until that point, Pearl Abyss showcased a full, in-game trailer, showcasing incredible visuals, raw, bloody, gorey combat, the main cast of characters. Pearl Abyss had intrigued the entire MMO scene with the promise of “the next generation MMORPG,” but immediately went silent.

When Crimson Desert was revealed to the world, it was revealed to be a large-scale, seamless open-world MMO featuring highly stylized action combat. An upgraded graphical engine, enhanced combat, a strong focus on the narrative.Īnd let’s be real here: If there were to be an MMO that could unseat BDO as the most stunning, most engaging (at least in terms of raw gameplay) MMO, it would be the same people that created it, right?

A brand new game from Pearl Abyss, the developers of Black Desert Online that looked to provide players an entirely overhauled experience. When Crimson Desert was announced back in 2019, players were in shock.
