Pearl Abyss unveiled their new Crimson Desert gameplay at Gamescom’s Opening Night Live show. The new Crimson Desert gameplay trailer showed significant development progress from its 2020 debut in 4K high-quality gameplay footage. In the new video, we get the chance to see the story of the main protagonist, Kliff as he investigates events that transpire in the region of “Hernand” and embarks on a journey of exploration through a vast open world.

Developed on Pearl Abyss’ proprietary next-generation “BlackSpace Engine”, Crimson Desert is an open-world action-adventure game. With an engaging setting and realistic characters, Crimson Desert depicts the story of mercenaries fighting for survival on the expansive continent of Pywel. Pearl Abyss is set to deliver a unique gameplay experience with Crimson Desert and aims for a simultaneous global release on console and PC platforms.

Realistic and exceptional graphical quality is at the forefront of the Crimson Desert Gameplay video, which all services immersive gameplay in a sprawling open world consisting of vast regions and cities. Other highlights include environment and NPC interactions, motion-captured combat, and action sequences that show players a way realism has been captured in the gameplay.

Additionally, the Crimson Desert gameplay trailer showcased diverse combat that includes hand-to-hand and wrestling moves, as well as how players can use various objects (and their surroundings) against foes set in Crimson Desert. From boss fights to duels and battles against large groups of enemies, the footage highlighted the exhilarating combat that challenges players to take out foes with diverse mechanics. That’s not all though, the trailer also shows skydiving, characters climbing buildings and trees, jumping over high barriers to highlight the traversal mechanics and various mini-games such as fishing, arm-wrestling, and taming wild horses.

Crimson Desert‘s new gameplay video and detailed game information can be found on the official website.
