The name Crimson Desert may not ring a bell for you unless you are one of the thousands of players who have ever dived into the fantasy universe of Black Desert Online. The latter is quite a popular MMORPG that offers a vast world to explore, a player-driven economy, a plethora of quests to complete, and a spectacular third-person combat system. Korean developer Pearl Abyss created it and the game maintains a healthy player base while being expanded regularly with new classes and other novelties. However, the developer studio is also working on a new experience that was announced several years ago. Crimson Desert is an open-world action adventure that follows the story of Kliff, captain of the Greymanes, a man who embarks on a perilous journey that will take him across the beautiful yet brutal continent of Pywel. A land torn by war where violence is often the ultimate way of solving any problem awaits you in this epic adventure.

BlackSpace Engine

Crimson Desert is not an MMORPG but a single-player adventure. However, it shares certain similarities with Black Desert Online, namely impressive graphics and exciting and dynamic action-based combat. Pearl Abyss is using a new graphics engine to create the game, BlackSpace, which results in detailed and realistic graphics that will blow your mind, especially when it comes to the recreation of water effects. You can watch the amazing effects in the videos below, courtesy of IGN.

The release of Crimson Desert will arrive later this year, although an official release date for the game has not been confirmed yet. It will be available for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.
