Pearl Abyss will release Crimson Desert on March 19, 2026, for personal computers, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S. The company announced the date at a PlayStation State of Play event after delaying the open-world action game twice since 2021.
IGN published an 11-minute gameplay video showing a quest featuring a boss battle. Players have waited six years since the initial announcement, and the game will reach seven years in development by launch. Pearl Abyss discussed the title with media outlets in 2019 when Google Stadia emerged as a potential platform.
