Crimson Desert får nok en stor oppdatering utgitt av Pearl Abyss

Pearl Abyss, the developers of the recently released RPG Crimson Desert, have announced the game is receiving another major update since last week’s launch. It is designed to significantly address issues related to the controls and combat system and also adds some new content. This is the second update yet for the game—the latest, Patch Notes Version 1.00.03, was released on March 23.

The update titled Patch Notes Version 1.01.00, as mentioned on Crimson Desert official website, is available across all platforms: PC (Steam and Epic Games Store), Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and Mac. Perhaps the biggest introduction in this patch is 5 new mounts that can be obtained and summoned after completing certain conditions. These 5 mounts are:

• White Bear (legendary animal);
• Silver Fang (legendary animal);
• Snowwhite Deer (legendary animal);
• Rock Tusk Warthog (boss mount);
• Icicle Edge Alpine Ibex (boss mount);

Despite previous negative comments from players, Pearl Abyss is continuing to work on fixing issues with Crimson Desert, and this patch is definitely one of many that aim to correct multiple errors, specifically related to gameplay. Recently, the CEO of Pearl Abyss, Heo Jin-young, has addressed the criticism of Crimson Desert story, which is confirmed to have been rewritten during the game’s development. Although he didn’t mention anything about narrative change, he revealed that the studio wanted to focus on gameplay rather than storyline.
