Pearl Abyss released their first Crimson Desert features series to lead up to the March release. This one starts with Kliff, the protagonist, and some of the features such as the over world. This part is known as the Abyss. Kliff’s role is a part of a peacekeeping faction known as the Greymanes. Kliff is charged with rebuilding his family of warriors that are scattered throughout the land after a tragic event hurls Jian into chaos.
The Abyss’ debris from corruption is spilling onto the land below and Kliff is charged to prevent this from continuing. Kliff’s journey leads him into dangers, rival clans, robots (yes, actual robots, or are they?) and towns, as well as incredible landscapes.
The trailer itself pulls no punches on both cinematics and gameplay alike. Kliff’s does get other weapons than his sword. Kliff’s open field battles and raids were shown as he liberates forts to help restore balance.
Kliff will also be joined by two other characters as he journeys across the 5 Realms of Pywell. One seems to be a mage while the other has a cannon of sorts and a bit of a Berserker. Both are strapped with gun type weapons for ranged attacks. Both characters will serve to help with side quests. No names were dropped nor the UI to identify them.
This was a just a delicious taste of what to expect from Crimson Desert this March. We have covered it extensively, also and eagerly look forward to the exploits of Kliff on March 19th. The game will be coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
