Crimson Desert’s Difficulty Settings and Distant Scenery Improvements Update Drops This Week

Were you hoping for a new Crimson Desert update this week? Pearl Abyss announced it’s been delayed slightly. They need a bit more time for testing and polishing before releasing the update, but it should be available later this week.

The next update should be a big one! It’s adding difficulty levels, making your inventory easier to manage with category tabs, and improving how distant objects look. Because of these improvements, this update is much larger than usual, so be aware of that when you download it.

This update is looking awesome! They’re letting us customize our controls with keyboard/mouse and controller presets, which is huge for how I like to play. Beyond that, I’m really excited to see what else they’ve packed in. They’ve already confirmed support for the new Intel Arc GPUs, which is a great bonus, and they’re adding new abilities – Axiom Force and Nature’s Snare – for Damiane and Oongka. Plus, three new combat music tracks? Seriously, this update has a ton going for it!
