Are you one of the 20 million or so people playing the MMORPG Black Desert? If so, the idea of a single player RPG set in the same universe will likely raise your eyebrows for all the right reasons. If you're not familiar with that game, fear not, as Crimson Desert is a self-contained adventure that doesn't require any prior knowledge of its world or systems. The team at Pearl Abyss tell us that they're doing everything they can to ensure "we deliver the highest quality gameplay to players without compromise".
You'll be stepping into the boots of Kliff Macduff, leader of the Greymanes. The continent of Pywell is in turmoil, and it's up to you and your band of mercenaries to save it from ruin. The vast open world, full of humans, non-humans (both friends and foes), and magic offers all the combat, secrets, and exploration opportunities that you'd expect. The MMORPG origins, however, will help prevent this from becoming predictable.
