Today, Pearl Abyss released the third and final features overview video for Crimson Desert, the upcoming open-world action-adventure game releasing on March 19. This latest video offers a closer look at daily life across the Pywel continent, including town activities, cooking, hunting, gathering, and customization.
Key highlights of the features video include:

Resource Gathering Activities – Players can fish and hunt to gather cooking ingredients, collect flowers and insects for use in alchemy, and obtain materials for crafting and equipment enhancement through gathering and mining.

The Greymane Camp – Located in Hernand, this settlement was established by Kliff and his companions after losing their home to the Black Bears faction. Using resources and currency earned through exploration, players can expand the camp's functionality and turn it into an important foothold for their journey.

Camp Management Systems – Within the camp, players can manage farms and ranches to produce cooking and crafting materials, purchase supplies from a vendor, and dispatch reunited companions on missions to acquire resources such as timber and ore.

Character Customization – Players can customize their characters' appearance using dyes found throughout Pywel or crafted through alchemy, adjusting outfits, hairstyles, and tattoos to match individual preferences.

Living World NPCs – Cities and villages are populated by blacksmiths, tailors, merchants, and residents in need of assistance. NPCs will react to harmful player actions, becoming hostile or issuing bounties depending on behavior.
