Key Points:
- Crimson Desert, an open-world RPG by South Korean developer Pearl Abyss, is set to release on March 19, 2026, for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X, generating significant anticipation.
- The game's world is reportedly twice the size of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and larger than Red Dead Redemption 2’s map, offering a vast playable area with additional verticality through flying mounts like dragons.
- Despite the impressive scale, there are concerns about the depth and dynamism of the game world, as some pre-release footage suggests it may feel shallow or lack immersive content.
- Questions remain about the strength of the story and character development, which are critical for engaging players in such a large open world
