Crimson Desert is currently captivating players just as Skyrim once did. Developers are among the gamers, and now Palworld may be suffering because of it.
What about Palworld? The monster collector is currently still in Early Access on Steam. A full release along with a major update is planned for 2026, which is supposed to deliver many of the promised elements.
While the lawsuit with Nintendo is still ongoing, the developers continue to work on their monster collector to finish it. But even the best developers need a break, and this time they find it in Crimson Desert.
Are you still riding your starter horse into battle?
Break in Crimson Desert
Who is playing Crimson Desert? Palworld’s spokesperson Community Manager Bucky has probably spent his vacation in Pywel. Bucky writes on X.com: “I would actually prefer to stay home and play Crimson Desert for 12 hours again, but I think I’d rather go to work … there is still ‘Bizniz’ and Palworld to take care of.”
A statement many players can relate to, as after a rocky start, Crimson Desert is increasingly gaining the favor of players. In another post on X.com, Palworld’s Community Manager explains that he has already spent 26 hours in the open-world adventure in just 3 days.
What does he think of Crimson Desert? The Community Manager also clearly names the problems of the game in his posts on X.com. He mentions that the controls are clunky and Cliff as a character is somewhat bland, but at the same time, Crimson Desert is also a good game.
If you don’t like it, he advises on X.com not to play Crimson Desert. Even though Palworld has little in common with Crimson Desert, many developers are also gamers and do not want to miss out on innovations like the open-world adventure.
That Crimson Desert also impresses developers from a completely different genre is a great compliment. On Steam, the reviews are climbing higher and higher, reaching new highs: Crimson Desert is winning the players’ enthusiasm on Steam: “I just can’t get enough”
