Yesterday, another Crimson Desert developer, Pearl Abyss, released the third and final features overview video. This one was titled “Life In Pywel.” It focused on detailing the many activities we can engage in throughout the open world of Crimson Desert.
Yet again, I am stunned by how much they had to show and how many elements received only a brief mention or a quick clip. Just how packed is the world of Pywel going to be, and what can you expect to do it in?
Find out for yourself in the video below:
They begin the latest features overview by discussing the Greymane Camp. This is a settlement which we will build throughout Crimson Desert, following the loss of Kliff’s homeland after a vicious attack by the Black Bears. Using various resources and currency earned through exploration, players can expand the camp’s functionality and turn it into an important foothold in their journey.
In the camp, players can manage farms and ranches to produce cooking and crafting materials, purchase supplies from a camp vendor, and dispatch reunited companions on missions to acquire resources such as timber, ore, and more. These systems allow players to actively shape the camp’s growth. The preview also highlights character customization options. Players can customize characters’ appearances with dyes found throughout Pywel or crafted through alchemy, adjusting outfits, hairstyles, and tattoos to match individual preferences.
Cities and villages across the Pywel continent are depicted as being populated by blacksmiths, tailors, merchants, and residents in need of assistance. These NPCs will react to the player’s harmful actions, become hostile or issue bounties depending on behavior, bringing another element to interaction with NPCs within the world. Pearl Abyss announced earlier this month via its official social media channels that Crimson Desert has surpassed 2 million wishlists worldwide.
Pre-orders are now live across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Steam, Apple Mac and the Epic Games Store.
