"Crimson Desert" Revealed By Pearl Abyss At G-Star 2019

Black Desert is getting a prequel! Pearl Abyss formally announced Crimson Desert is in development to tell the story of their MMORPG. The game will be an entirely new IP that tells the story of what happened in a very specific region of the game prior to what we currently know in Black Desert today. The game is currently being set for a 2020 release, but the finer details weren't revealed at the event. You can read more about the game below along with the reveal trailer from the event.

Crimson Desert is set in a fantasy world on the continent of Pywel. It has been produced since 2018 by Jason Jung, former game Design Director of RYL Online, one of South Korea's first-generation action MMORPGs. Daeil Kim, the founder of Pearl Abyss, acts as the Lead Producer and Eter Lee, former Lead Combat Designer of RYL Online, is in charge of the action combat system for the title. Crimson Desert is currently aiming for a beta test for PC & console in 2020.

While the name "Crimson Desert" was originally a region within Black Desert, Crimson Desert is in fact not a sequel, but a whole new IP. The title started as the prequel to Black Desert, but during development Pearl Abyss began to create an entirely different storyline and a whole new set of characters.

Crimson Desert does not focus on a group of glorious heroes attempting to rule the continent of Pywel, but instead centers on a host of mercenaries fighting for their lives to survive. As the main character within the first trailer for Crimson Desert, Macduff is the leader of a mercenary group with a tragic past. Distressed over his responsibilities, he must survive in the deadly lands of Pywel. Crimson Desert features both online multiplayer and single player content.
