Pearl Abyss has locked in a date for its ambitious open-world action-adventure. Crimson Desert launches March 19, 2026 on Windows PC via Steam, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5.
Set across the breathtaking yet brutal continent of Pywel, Crimson Desert follows Kliff in the aftermath of a devastating ambush by the Black Bears that leaves the Greymanes clan shattered. Your quest is to rally survivors, rebuild the Greymanes, and reclaim what was lost. Along the way, you’ll traverse vast landscapes, clash with formidable monsters, scoop up valuable loot, and experience the Greymanes’ saga through next-generation visuals. A new trailer teases the scale of the world and the intensity of its combat.
Pre-orders for all physical and digital editions will open in the coming days at most major retailers. Every pre-order includes the Khaled Shield bonus. Players who pre-order any PS5 edition will also receive the Grotevant Plate Set as an exclusive bonus.
