SEOUL, South Korea, 14 December 2024 – During the long-awaited The Game Awards 2024, Pearl Abyss finally unveiled the release window of their next action game – the open global adventure, Crimson Desert. Fans of the latest success of the South Korean studio, Black Desert, have been looking forward to this announcement since the game was presented in G-Star 2019. According to Wccftech, Crimson Desert is officially established to launch in fall 2025 via PC (via Steam, including macOS), PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S WordPressX, with the wish list now available on all platforms.
From MMO roots to open global adventure
Originally presented as a spiritual successor to the black desert, Crimson Desert was created to have similar MMO elements, pointing to a winter 2021 exit. However, Pearl Abyss changed the direction of the game in 2020 from an MMO to an action-adventure experience based on narration. Despite the first emotions, development delays led to the indefinite postponement of the game. It was not until 2023 that Gamescom resurfaced with a new trailer, sparking renewed interest. In late 2025, the Korean media speculated on a launch window in the second quarter of 2025, which was now confirmed slightly later in the fall of 2025.
An epic journey through Pywel
Located in the vast world of Pywel, the Crimson Desert follows the story of Kliff, the Greyman leader, a formidable band of mercenaries. As the players enter Kliff’s shoes, they will navigate vast landscapes, fight formidable enemies, and discover the story of the Greymans’ struggle to save their land from disaster. According to Pearl Abyss, the game promises a robust combat system that serves two intense duels one by one and large-scale battles against enemy hordes. Strategic depth will be a fundamental feature of the combat experience, with players involved in the leader’s monumental struggles to unlock unique weapons, armor and even new skills.
Innovative features of the game and amazing visuals
The game Crimson Desert aims to push the boundaries with a mix of traditional mechanics and innovative features. Players will have the ability to slide, climb rocks, and even take the sky in command and control of the wyverns for aerial combat sequences. Beyond battles, the game will offer activities such as fishing, cooking and puzzle solution, ensuring a rich and varied player experience. Machined villages, dynamic environmental changes and interactive abyss are just some of the immersive elements designed to encourage exploration and discovery.
Developed by the next generation BlackSpace engine, Crimson Desert promises an impressive visual with dynamic weather systems and realistic environmental transformations. Pearl Abyss aims to create a living and respiratory world that evolves over time, improving both narrative depth and gaming experience.
PC detection system requirements
With the launch window announcement, Pearl Abyss revealed the minimum and recommended specifications for Crimson Desert. According to Wccftech, the minimum requirements include a 64-bit processor and operating system, particularly Windows 10 64-bit, as well as a Ryzen 5 2600X or i5-8500 graphics card, a 16 GB RAM processor and a GTX 1060 or RX 6500 XT graphics card. The game also requires DirectX 12 and a high 100 GB storage space available.
For players who want to live the Crimson Desert at their best, the recommended specifications will likely require high-end hardware, ensuring optimal performance and graphic fidelity. These requirements underscore the game’s ambition to provide a visually impressive and technically advanced experience for modern platforms.
Construction advance for a Blockbuster 2025
The release of Crimson Desert in fall 2025 made it one of the most expected outings of the year. With its combination of strategic, immersive and avant-garde combat, the game is ready to attract both fans of open world adventures and Pearl Abyss’ new creations. As players prepare to embark on the Kliff journey and explore the vast world of Pywel, the gaming community is eagerly awaiting new updates on the game and additional features.
According to Pearl Abyss, Crimson Desert is ready to establish a new reference point for the open world game, mixing action, exploration and narrative in a seamless package. With the list of wishes already available and the countdown to its current release, the game is formed to be a historic entry into the next generation of video games.
