Crimson Desert Adds Wyvern Riding, Pinball, and Re-Blockade Improvements in Latest Update

A significant new update for Crimson Desert has just been released. Pearl Abyss has expanded the re-blockade system with two new stages – Battle and Reconstruct – as previously announced in their plans for June through September.

To help keep your key locations secure and prevent them from being blocked again, you can now assign Protection to them. If a location is re-blocked and needs to be liberated, you’ll receive increased rewards like valuable trade goods and contributions to the region. We’ve also added two fun new mini-games: Pinball at the Delesyian Institute and Orb Roll at the Great Gate of Urdavah.

You can now earn special rewards like furniture and new crafting recipes, or decorate your base with carpets, lights, and even a Golden Apple. Plus, Wyvern Riding is here! If you’ve raised Kuku Bird Chicks or Baby Wyverns, you can now use them as mounts.

This update includes several improvements, like a new ground attack for Blackstar, and fixes many bugs. You can find the complete list of changes here.

Despite already selling over five million copies, Crimson Desert is far from finished. New downloadable content is planned, and we’ll share release details in the coming months, so keep an eye out for updates.
