Pearl Abyss Unveils New Info On Crimson Desert, Watch The Reveal Trailer

Pearl Abyss has just revealed new information and screenshots of their upcoming MMO, Crimson Desert. The game was first announced last month and was originally meant to be a prologue to Black Desert Online but has since evolved into a game with original characters, unique lands, and a fresh new narrative coupled with BDO’s signature action-driven combat.

“With the exception of a few identifiable in-game homages, we created entirely new worldviews, religions, and characters unique to the world of Crimson Desert, worthy of a true epic,” Pear Abyss said in an interview with IGN. “Crimson Desert offers an immersive single-player campaign teeming with engaging quests based on the exploits of many mercenaries you’ll find available for hire. There will also be a vast amount of content based around a more traditional MMORPG format.”

According to Pearl Abyss, the game’s storyline revolves around Macduff, son of Martinus, and the leader of a band of mercenaries. “Crimson Desert tells the story of many different characters whose fates are entwined with the main character and his band of mercenaries,” said the studio. “Each character has their own unique backgrounds and tales to tell, affecting everything from the decisions they make to the gear they equip. This extends to the lands of Crimson Desert, which are full of other mercenary groups each with their own distinct personalities and inclinations.”
