Pearl Abyss has released patch 1.09 for Crimson Desert, which finally allows players to remap controls and adopt a whole host of little critters as pets.
Crimson Desert was already a contender for one of the biggest new games of 2026 when it launched – both in the sheer amount of things in it and popularity – but Pearl Abyss somehow decided that it could be even bigger. The studio has been updating its massively popular open-world game constantly since it launched back in March – and clearly someone on the dev team is really keen to get Kliff as many pets as possible.
