Almost seven years after it announced Crimson Desert, Pearl Abyss announced that the open world game has finally gone gold ahead of its March 19 launch.
In a message shared via the official Crimson Desert social media channels, Pearl Abyss thanked fans worldwide for their continued support.
“We sincerely thank our fans around the world for being with us on this meaningful journey. Thanks to your support, we have reached this important milestone. We look forward to welcoming you to the continent of Pywel on March 19,” the South Korean game company said.
Crimson Desert has generated strong anticipation through its presence at major global gaming events, including The Game Awards, the Game Developers Conference, Summer Game Fest, ChinaJoy, Gamescom, TwitchCon, PAX East and West, Paris Games Week, and the Tokyo Game Show. I’ve played bits of the game a couple of times and I’ve always been impressed with the graphics quality and the focused gameplay moments that can happen in the vast open world action-adventure game.
Set in the vast continent of Pywel, Crimson Desert is an open-world action-adventure game that follows the journey of protagonist Kliff and his Greymane companions. The title has been praised for its realistic, high-fidelity graphics, dynamic combat, and the freedom and interactivity of its open world, delivering a heightened sense of immersion and intensity.
Crimson Desert is aiming for a global release on console and PC platforms.
In the story, a devastating ambush in the deep of night by their sworn enemies the Black Bears leaves members of the Greymanes dead or scattered across the continent. The Greymane Kliff is determined to reunite with his surviving comrades and rebuild what was lost. On a journey where alliances are forged, dangers abound, and mysterious factions are uncovered, Kliff comes to realize that an unprecedented threat and a destiny greater than he imagined await him.
