Crimson Desert’s March 19 Launch: Can This ‘Action RPG Tesseract’ Actually Work?
Crimson Desert launches March 19, 2025, after a 5.5-year development cycle. Pearl Abyss confirmed the game has "gone gold" with Kliff’s sword fights, grapple mechanics, and mech piloting now finalized.
The studio describes it as an "action RPG tesseract"—a phrase that defies easy categorization but hints at its layered combat systems.
Protagonist Kliff can triple jump with magic, summon artillery, and switch between melee and mechs mid-battle.
The game’s "distribution-ready" status suggests a potential day-one patch, but no other platforms beyond Steam have been announced. As one developer put it: "we've got just over eight weeks before we get our full and proper introductions."
