Set to launch on 19 March, Crimson Desert is set to be the next major video game release, with the game starting off life as a prequel to Black Desert Online, before becoming a fully fledged standalone.

Crimson Desert Sounds Ridiculously Ambitious

Crimson Desert has been a long time coming with one major delay already under its belt, but needless to say, thanks to its sheer scale and ambition, this is no surprise. Set in a sprawling open-world on the continent of Pywel, players will take on the role of Greymane Kliff as they embark on an adventure across uncharted lands, battle enemies, and discover all the wonders the unique world has in store.

Set to be one of the biggest releases of 2026, Crimson Desert has a lot to live up to, but following the success of Black Desert Online, it should be one mighty adventure ahead.
