The open-world action and adventure title Crimson Desert will be playable at gamescom 2024, which will be held from August 21 to 25 at the Koelnmesse in Cologne, Germany, announced the developer Pearl Abyss. Crimson Desert was first announced in November 2019 and was last seen in a new trailer at gamescom 2023. Below is Pearl Abyss’s announcement via Twitter:
For the very first time, Crimson Desert will be open to the public and playable at Pearl Abyss’s Crimson Desert booth in Cologne, Germany. We are counting the days until we meet those who will be present at gamescom, as well as players from around the world who are eager to play Crimson Desert.
Below is an overview from the official site:
Enter a medieval fantasy realm ravaged by war, where alliances are tested and heroes are forged. A vast yet divided continent… A harsh desert… Cities as dangerous as they are breathtaking… In the world of Crimson Desert, raw realism often precedes aesthetic beauty. Crimson Desert tells the story of Pywel, a vast continent of divided regions inhabited by people struggling to survive in its ever-changing landscapes. From the expansive plains of Akapen to the inhospitable and cold lands of Kweiden, or the barren desert, each region has its unique beauty. However, you may have to scrape away the dirt to see it. As you traverse the cities of Pywel, whether it’s the desert oases or Ulsrund of Kweiden, the land of the wolf, expect to encounter dirty alleys, impoverished shanties, and a marketplace language that would make even a Troll blush. Each place has its unique character that is both fantastical and rooted in raw realism. Will you explore these strange new lands alone, or will you venture with other players? Whatever your decision to explore these ancient mysteries, just remember that, whether you like it or not, your actions will influence the story of Pywel.
