Finally, South Korean studio Pearl Abyss has revealed the release date for the ambitious action-RPG Crimson Desert.

Here's What We Know

In a special trailer that shows colourful gameplay footage and introduces the main characters, the developer revealed that Crimson Desert will be released on March 19, 2026 on PC (Steam), Xbox Series and PlayStation 5.

Crimson Desert is a dark role-playing game, which was supposed to be a spin-off of the popular MMORPG Black Desert, but eventually turned into an independent single-player project.

The novelty is characterised by excellent graphics, dynamic combat system, huge open world with a lot of picturesque locations and unique enemies and exciting quests.

In terms of gameplay Korean action is extremely similar to many popular modern games, including The Witcher 3, Assassin's Creed Valhalla, Elden Ring, Final Fantasy XVI, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and Dragon's Dogma 2.
