None of Crimson Desert's big updates were pre-planned because Pearl Abyss is "not baking in presumptions around what the players want"

Crimson Desert's enjoyed beefy updates nearly every week since its blockbuster launch almost two months ago, taking a hammer to what players don't like and shoving more of what works into the already overflowing game. Despite the rapid cadence of patches, developer Pearl Abyss apparently didn't pre-plan anything in an effort to work off fan feedback.

Speaking to The Washington Post, the developer explains there wasn't an "official communicated roadmap with set-in-stone dates" for Crimson Desert's expansive post-launch content. Instead, the studio reacted to what fans were talking about as they were talking.
