I wasn't expecting the sudden return of Crimson Desert to steal the show at Gamescom Opening Night Live, but this explosive new trailer showing off a frankly astounding amount of gameplay variety was extremely impressive.
There's melee combat with an array of hard-hitting moves and destructible objects that appear to collapse dynamically to take out enemies. There's horseback combat against massive hordes of soldiers, mission boards that ask you to do things like carry sheep around, and - importantly - a fishing minigame. There are cart thefts, hostage rescues, cooking, and hot air balloon rides.
