Place 4 – Crimson Desert
Release: 2021 | Platform: PC, consoles | Developer: Pearl Abyss | Website: Website of Crimson Desert
What is special about the game? For a long time, I had the idea of a game that initially tells a single-player story, which then takes me into a persistent online game world. Crimson Desert could deliver just that. Supposedly there is a single-player campaign, and you also play in the online world of an MMORPG.
This principle may make Crimson Desert interesting for all role players, whether they are single-player or MMORPG fans.
This game reminds me of: You might think I am crazy, but the trailer of Crimson Desert reminded me of the section on the Skellige Islands in The Witcher 3. I really liked that Nordic atmosphere in CD Projekt Red’s role-playing game.
Therefore, I hope that Crimson Desert will provide me with a similar gaming experience, as The Witcher 3 is a fantastic game!
This is why I am looking forward to the game: I never really got into Black Desert Online. I always wanted to dive into this world, but it felt more like a backdrop to me. However, the first trailer of Crimson Desert created a completely different atmosphere. The world feels more alive and invites me much more to experience PvE adventures.
When do I expect the release? The developers at Pearl Abyss say that Crimson Desert should enter beta in 2020. However, experience with MMORPG releases shows that one should add a few months. Therefore, I believe that Crimson Desert will not be released until mid to late 2021.
