Genshin Impact is a great example of a single-player open-world with successful Gacha mechanics. Pearl Abyss turned Black Desert Online into a well-monetized title, so it will be interesting to see how they’ll do the same with Crimson Desert (maybe that’s what the MMO elements are for). This is consistent with Black Desert Mobile and Shadow Arena, both made by Pearl Abyss, where you choose from a set of pre-made characters. Rather than creating their own character, players will choose to play as one of the mercenary group. They travel with a group of mercenaries through the continent of Pywel, facing the harsh world. The game will tell the story of Macduff, a downtrodden mercenary fighting to reclaim their land. Pearl Abyss also confirmed PvP battles and castle sieges as we see in the trailer, although we do not know how those will work, exactly. In an interview with the developers, they said the game would feature a single-server, massive open world that players can share. There’s even a dragon you can ride on, and that is already great.Ĭrimson Desert was introduced last year and intended to be an MMORPG, but now it is defined as an “open-world action-adventure with MMO elements.” Pearl Abyss hadn’t revealed the MMO elements in Crimson Desert. The game’s world also features some puzzles and more than a few ways to traverse it. It’s all in-line with Black Desert Online’s combat mechanics, but without AOE and mobs. The combat looks fast-paced, with grappling, side weapons, and hand to hand fights.
