Simultaneously releasing across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Steam, Apple Mac, Epic Games Store and ROG Xbox Ally, Crimson Desert features full voice acting in English, Korean, and Chinese, along with subtitles available in 14 languages.
Powered by the studio’s proprietary BlackSpace Engine, the game delivers a seamless open world with detailed environments, from sprawling wilderness, bustling cities, ancient ruins, and diverse cultures, that create a living world.
Combat is fluid, allowing players to chain combos using swords, axes, spears, ranged weapons, and hand-to-hand combat, kicks, and grapples. Progression is equally flexible, with players shaping their character growth through exploration, and boss encounters.
Traversal plays a major role in exploration, with mechanics such as climbing, gliding, and other movement systems enabling players to freely navigate the world.
