Crimson Desert is 'not a copy of other AAA games' according to The Witcher 3 director — and after my 175 hours of playtime and five million copies sold, it all makes sense

Kliff using Katana in Crimson Desert.

• The Witcher 3 director, Konrad Tomaszkiewicz, has praised Crimson Desert for "delivering something quite fresh" from other AAA games
• Pearl Abyss recently announced that the game has sold five million copies
• There are still plenty of updates to come from Pearl Abyss with new game content

Pearl Abyss is receiving heaps of praise for its efforts on Crimson Desert, mainly thanks to its open-world design, which rewards players for their curiosity during exploration — and recent compliments and copies sold back that up.
