Crimson Desert has the potential to be one of the most exciting new games of 2025. A new trailer for the action role-playing game shows what fans can look forward to.
What kind of game is this? Crimson Desert is an open-world action role-playing game from Pearl Abyss, the creators of Black Desert Online. It is considered one of the best MMORPGs of all time. In contrast, however, Crimson Desert will provide a purely single-player experience.
Crimson Desert impresses like BDO, primarily with its beautiful graphics and impressive combat. These are once again showcased in a new trailer. The developers present a brief excerpt from a boss fight against a witch.

Boss from Black Desert returns, anticipation grows
Who is the witch? This is Witch Marie, who is already a powerful boss enemy in BDO. In battle, she summons stone creatures that wear a clay pot with strange drawings instead of a head. Additionally, she can transform into a swarm of ravens and teleport quickly to you.
Crimson Desert also does not hold back on the effects in this trailer. Witch Marie is constantly surrounded by ravens, and during the fight, individual feathers even come off her dress. Both the witch and the main character, Grey Mane Kliff, showcase impressive magic. Despite all the effects, the image does not seem overloaded.
What are the reactions to the trailer? There is a hype around the game, which is also felt in the comments on YouTube. There, anticipation for the game only continues to grow.
- Inevitable_Morte: “I am soooo ready for the game!”
- reinhard98: “Black Desert Witch Marie here? This is nice.”
- bjneal5615: “I don’t want to underestimate a company’s ability to mess things up, but the more video material I see from this game, the more convinced I am that it will be an absolute action RPG masterpiece. Watch out, Game of the Year!”
Originally, Crimson Desert was supposed to be a prequel to BDO, but this idea was discarded during development. The fact that a character from the MMORPG appears in the game now seems to confirm that they at least share the same universe.
When is Crimson Desert coming out? There is no exact release date for the action role-playing game yet. However, it is expected to be released in the second quarter of 2025.
