Crimson Desert is an open-world action-adventure game set in the stunning yet perilous continent of Pywel. After a devastating ambush by their sworn enemy the Black Bears leaves the Greymanes dead or scattered across the land, players follow Kliff who embarks on a journey to rebuild the Greymanes and reclaim what has been lost. As he traverses across the vast landscapes of Pywel, players will engage in intense battles, defeat formidable monsters, collect valuable loot, and follow the story of the Greymanes’ journey with next-generation visuals.
Crimson Desert will launch with Collector’s, Deluxe and Standard editions. The Collector’s Edition will feature an impressive 17” exclusive diorama of Kliff and Golden Star, a premium Greymane Brooch Pin and deluxe woven fabric map of Pywel – designed to elevate any treasured collection.
Pre-orders will be going live for all physical and digital editions in the coming days, available at most major retailers -- all pre-orders come with the Khaled Shield as a pre-order bonus. Additionally, fans who pre-order any PlayStation 5 edition will also receive the Grotevant Plate Set DLC as a PS5 exclusive bonus included in pack.
