Crimson Desert<\/a> has sold so well that its developer, Pearl Abyss, has reportedly given every employee a $3,400 bonus.<\/p>\n

South Korean publication MTN<\/a> said Pearl Abyss had awarded staff with a 5 million Won special bonus to celebrate Crimson Desert selling over 5 million copies.<\/p>\n

Pearl Abyss CEO Heo Jin-young reportedly said in an internal statement: “I express my deep respect and gratitude for the hard work of each and every one of you who created a product that the world is enthusiastic about, and I am paying a celebratory bonus for achieving 5 million sales to all employees who have silently fulfilled their roles in their respective positions.<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

“Our journey does not end here. The potential we confirmed today will be the most powerful driving force to overcome any challenge we face in the future.”<\/p>\n

MTN said that latest official figures put Pearl Abyss at 733 employees, which means the total paid out for the bonuses is 3.7 billion won (approx. $2.5 million). Apparently it doesn\u2019t stop here, either, with another bonus due at the beginning of 2027 based on 2026 financial performance. IGN has asked Pearl Abyss for comment.<\/p>\n

Last week, Pearl Abyss won praise from the Prime Minister of South Korea<\/a>, Kim Min-seok, who pointed to the fact that Crimson Desert was created in-house using Pearl Abyss’ own technology as opposed to a western game engine, and incorporated Korean elements like taekwondo and Korean cuisine. Anyone who\u2019s played Crimson Desert will know just how important cooking food<\/u><\/a> is to your success, especially during boss fights. But the food does have a distinctly Korean flavor to it, and many of the recipes result in food that looks inspired by Korean hot pot dishes.<\/p>\n

Kim Min-seok said Crimson Desert had opened a \u201cnew chapter in K-content,\u201d and that its success \u201cserves as a crucial turning point, demonstrating that the domestic game industry can expand and leap forward across diverse platforms, including consoles.\u201d<\/p>\n

South Korean developers, which are known for their enormously popular mobile and online-focused PC games, have in recent years enjoyed significant success branching out onto consoles with single-player adventure games. Shift Up\u2019s Stellar Blade<\/u><\/a>, which released exclusively on PlayStation 5, is a high-profile example, as is Neowiz\u2019s successful soulslike Lies of P<\/u><\/a>. But Crimson Desert has sold faster than them all.<\/p>\n

Crimson Desert just got its biggest patch yet<\/u><\/a>. It made significant improvements to the game, including the addition of difficulty settings, new storage improvements, and new pets. If you\u2019re just getting into the game, we recommend you take a look at our guide to Things to Do First in Crimson Desert<\/u><\/a>, plus Things Crimson Desert Doesn\u2019t Tell You<\/u><\/a>. We\u2019ve also got a guide to the Best Early Weapons<\/u><\/a> we recommend picking up, the Best Skills to Get First<\/u><\/a> (including a handy explainer of the skills system), and 34 Essential Tips and Tricks<\/u><\/a> to help you succeed in Pywel.<\/p>\n
