Expect \u201csprawling wilderness, bustling cities, ancient ruins, and diverse regions, all set against a backdrop of escalating conflict and supernatural danger,\u201d Pearl Abyss said.<\/p>\n<p>Kliff is a warrior of the Greymanes, a faction from the northern region of Pailune. The story begins in the aftermath of a peace being shattered, and Kliff must reunite the Greymanes and reclaim their homeland. You end up discovering that the entire continent is involved.<\/p>\n<section data-transform=\"ignvideo\" data-slug=\"crimson-desert-official-kliff-and-the-open-world-of-pywel-features-overview-trailer\" data-loop=\"\"><\/section>\n<p>The threat comes from the Abyss, a mysterious realm that\u2019s sending fragments crashing into Pywel. Some want to exploit these fragments. You\u2019re trying to restore balance to the Abyss and stop those who are exploiting it.<\/p>\n<p>Crimson Desert\u2019s huge open world has been a topic of debate recently. Pywel is divided into five distinct regions: Hernand; Pailune; Demeniss; Delesyia; and the Crimson Desert itself. The main quest revolves around Kliff\u2019s journey, but you\u2019re free to explore the world in any order, taking faction-driven quests, large-scale battles, fortress sieges and smaller, character-focused missions.<\/p>\n<p>Pearl Abyss confirmed that as the story progresses, two additional playable characters become available, each with unique combat styles, skills and weapons. Exploration is a big part of the game \u2014 you travel on horseback, climb terrain, glide across distances, and later access advanced traversal options such as a missile-firing mech and a dragon. Pearl Abyss said the world is filled with hidden treasures, ancient mechanisms, puzzles and points of interest \u201cdesigned to reward curiosity and discovery.\u201d As for combat, expect to face enemy soldiers, sorcerers, beasts and machines.<\/p>\n<section data-transform=\"slideshow\" data-slug=\"crimson-desert-screenshots\" data-value=\"crimson-desert-screenshots\" data-type=\"slug\" data-caption=\"\"><\/section>\n<p>Earlier this month, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/crimson-deserts-open-world-is-at-least-twice-as-big-as-skyrims-and-larger-than-the-red-dead-redemption-2-map\"><u>Pearl Abyss called Crimson Desert\u2019s open world \u201cabsolutely massive,\u201d<\/u><\/a> bigger even than that of Bethesda\u2019s Skyrim and Rockstar\u2019s Red Dead Redemption 2.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/aEX6hjTSlOk?si=Ei_PQfEUiBEH5A6F\"><u>the Gaming Interviews YouTube channel<\/u><\/a>, Pearl Abyss\u2019 Will Powers said that describing the size of Crimson Desert\u2019s world in terms of numbers doesn\u2019t do it justice, because doing so fails to capture the scope and scale of the game. But he did go as far as to compare it to two of the biggest open world games around.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t think numbers really do it justice because, how big is that in terms of scope and scale?\u201d he said. \u201cBut what we can say is that the world&#8217;s at least twice as big as the open world, the playable area, of Skyrim. It&#8217;s larger than the map of Red Dead Redemption 2.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Powers went on to insist that the size of Crimson Desert\u2019s open world won\u2019t determine its quality. Rather, what you actually do in it is the key factor.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The continent of Pywel is absolutely massive, but size doesn&#8217;t really matter if there&#8217;s nothing to do,\u201d he said. \u201cOpen-world games are about doing things, having activities, having distractions. So we wanted to create a world that&#8217;s not only massive, but is also incredibly interactive.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Unlike Skyrim and Red Dead Redemption 2, in Crimson Desert you can fly around on a dragon, so despite the size of its world, you\u2019ll be able to get about quickly. And don\u2019t expect RPG elements in terms of decision-making and choice and consequence as it relates to your character, either. The sheer amount of things to do in the world will facilitate the role-playing part of Crimson Desert, which players will form through \u201chead canon.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou choose the type of character you want to play as in terms of your progression within the systems in the game,\u201d Powers explained. \u201cAnd then through head canon you\u2019re having this very different experience than other players because of the scope and scale of the game. You\u2019ll be distracted by something, you\u2019ll go on this quest line, you\u2019ll have an experience that\u2019ll be radically different than someone else, even though they\u2019re playing the same game and the same canonical storyline that you both are going through.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/crimson-desert-locks-in-march-release-date-as-dev-acknowledges-strong-anticipation\"><u>Crimson Desert<\/u> has gone gold<\/a>, locking in its global release date of March 19, 2026.
