According to the developers, this is gameplay footage from the Gamescom 2024 demo that will be playable. In other words, this is from the latest version of the game, so it will give you an idea of how the game currently looks.
Crimson Desert is an open-world action-adventure game. The game promises vivid narratives and intense action, with realistic characters and narratives revolving around the members of the Greymane Free Company as they struggle to achieve their noble mission.
Players will experience the beautiful but brutal continent of Pywel, where you will witness the conflicts and epic sagas surrounding Kliff, the leader of the Greymanes, as his mission takes him on an unforgettable journey.
For those wondering, Crimson Desert is not powered by Unreal Engine 5. Instead, the game uses Pearl Abyss' BlackSpace Engine.
Based on what we can see in the new trailer, the battle system looks to be excellent. And that is perhaps the most important thing about the game. Many players were worried about it. But from what we see, Crimson Desert looks to be really fun to play.
There is still no official release date. According to reports, the game will be released on PC and consoles in Q2 2025. So it will be a while before we get our hands on it.
