Pearl Abyss’ ambitious open-world RPG, Crimson Desert , has returned with a spectacular new trailer at The Game Awards 2024, which also announced a vague 2025 release date .
Developed by the authors of Black Desert Online , Crimson Desert is an action RPG that appears extremely large, deriving from a series of different suggestions that bring together the classic genre, the extreme open world, crafting and other game elements.
In this setting, the protagonist Kliff finds himself carrying out various quests that lead him to explore numerous scenarios, and come into contact with various characters and creatures.
The combat system seems to derive some characteristics from souls-like action RPGs but it still presents itself as very dynamic and more focused on fluid action. In the mix of suggestions we can also see references to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and also to The Elder Scrolls in some aspects, in addition of course to elements derived from Black Desert Online itself.
