Hot off Crimson Desert, Pearl Abyss wants to "accelerate development" on open-world Pokemon-like MMO DokeV as it aims to release a new game "every two to three years"

A DokeV character gasps while holding glasses.

Crimson Desert developer Pearl Abyss is officially in pre-production for another boundless adventure DokeV, its Pokemon-esque monster catcher first announced in 2019. But, uh, forget about that last part – Pearl Abyss is hoping to redefine itself as a developer with lean release cycles after Crimson Desert took seven bloated years.

Pearl Abyss confirms reports from March and explains in its new Q1 earnings letter that DokeV is officially "in development," as is its self-described "exosuit MMO shooter" Plan 8. Both games were originally announced in 2019, as was Crimson Desert, but Pearl Abyss is suddenly fired up about "maintaining a new title release cycle of every 2-3 years."
