Not only is it a good game, but it’s making even more money than the PC version is now. It’s also totally possible the studio is planning on transitioning into making Black Desert Mobile its primary money maker. Personally, I wouldn’t mind a new engine, but it makes sense to just build a new game around the engine, rather then import the game over. PA has talked about transferring the game to the new engine, and it’s possible this is what Crimson Desert is. There’s always been some awkward physics-related bugs too, like boats getting stuck in the middle of nowhere and players getting caught on the occasional rock. Even with the remaster, Black Desert still has clipping issues and pop-ins. I can think of one really good reason: its nine-year-old engine. Why would they release it now when it seems like the best time to play Black Desert? By MMO standards, that’s pretty young for a game. The console versions just released this year. Black Desert released in Korea in 2015, NA and Europe in 2016, and South East Asia the beginning of 2018. The timing just seems so strange since BDO still feels new. Regardless of its place in lore, or even whether it’s part of the franchise, the decision to create something that may possibly overshadow Black Desert is odd.

Of course, there’s the possibility Crimson Desert will go the route of your Final Fantasies and Tales of games where the game is not related at all but still includes series hallmarks – the Black Spirit in this case, which isn’t a bad idea for an MMO either. A prequel would be a great way to really build on what’s already there, and the team can apply narrative lessons learned from developing Black Desert’s lore. I see tribes as something that comes before a faction, and this would fit into the lore of Black Desert.Ĭonsidering how there’s been significant revisions to the story this year, I wouldn’t be surprised if PA decides to rebrand the desert’s alternate name into Crimson Desert. Plus, PA contextualized this new title within a time frame of warring tribes, not factions. But many Valencians give it a different name: the Red Desert, which got its name from the countless battles and deaths that took place on its sands throughout its tumultuous history. The Valencian Black Desert got its name because of the sand: It’s made from black stones, one the central items in the game. I’ll eat my cash-shop hat if this doesn’t take place in the Black Desert universe. I’ve really enjoyed the changes they’ve been making recently and I’m sure the dev team’s learned a lot from developing Black Desert. I’ll give the studio the benefit of the doubt, though.

If this game really is what I think it is, I hope PA will listen to its players. There have been many questionable changes throughout the game’s history, like the addition-and-removal of the renown system last year. Players oftentimes claim PA doesn’t play its own game and doesn’t listen to its players.

There’s so much promise this new title can bring in, but we have to remember this is still Pearl Abyss. The biggest gripe the Black Desert community has with PA is how tone-deaf the company can be. I hope they have an out-of-the-box PvP that’s got a low bar for entry but a high-skill ceiling and a system to accommodate players that might not want to get ganked in their favorite grind spots. I want that nice, clean UI PA’s been using on Black Desert. I hope they make a game that’ll not only attract hardcore PvPers and grinders but also cultivate a new generation of those gamers. I want it with much more precise controls. I hope this game will just be Black Desert 2: So Black It’s Crimson. So before that official announcement, I want to record my initial feelings on the announcement and speculate on the ramifications this title might have to our beloved game. But just the name alone courts so much speculation, concern, and hope for me. There’s not much yet on any of these titles we’ll learn more about them from the fan event later this week. I’m not endorsing the server, but it’s literally the top result when I googled “Crimson Desert.” Hilariously, there’s already a BDO private server with that exact same name. I’m pretty sure the studio is just avoiding the word “sequel” until the big announcement on November 13, but when I read the news, I stopped dead, stared out the window, and asked myself, “What the heck are they doing?” But it’s just so Pearl Abyss to unironically name its upcoming “open-world MMORPG set in an epic-fantasy world” Crimson Desert and act like Black Desert never existed.

Play Black DesertI have no idea why PA decided to name it Crimson Desert.
