Pearl Abyss’s stock has seen a rollercoaster of late, thanks to the launch of Crimson Desert. Initially, negative reviews caused the stock price to drop, but recent improvements to the game have led to a quick rebound.
The game has seen strong sales since launch, and recent updates have likely helped new players overcome some initial difficulties. Pearl Abyss plans to further improve the controls in Crimson Desert, but addressing other concerns quickly could be beneficial as well.
The negative reaction from investors to the recent release isn’t surprising, according to Dr. Serkan Toto, CEO of the Japan-based game industry consultancy Kantan Games, who shared his thoughts on Twitter.
Investors are reacting strongly to news about Pearl Abyss, driving its stock price up by over 27%. This kind of sudden jump is common with gaming companies in Asian markets.
Crimson Desert has improved recently, but it needs to keep up this progress to become a truly great game, especially considering how many other similar games there are. Right now, the experience of playing might be more enjoyable than actually reaching the end.
Investors are reacting strongly to news from Pearl Abyss, driving their stock price up by over 27%. This surge follows the announcement that Crimson Desert sold 3 million copies. These kinds of quick market changes are common with game stocks in Asia. (This is happening as of 11:30 AM Wednesday in Korea, and trading is still ongoing.)
