Pearl Abyss has peeled back another layer of Crimson Desert in the second of a three-part developer deep dive, focusing on how combat and progression will work. The new footage also makes it clear the game goes beyond a single protagonist — players can switch to two additional playable characters, and there’s even a mech to control.

  • The deep dive zeroes in on combat and progression systems, showing how upgrades and player growth are intended to interact with the action-focused gameplay.
  • Marketing has often centered on the bearded Kliff, but the box art and video confirm two other playable characters positioned alongside the lead — suggesting multiple perspectives or roster options.
  • Unexpectedly, Crimson Desert includes a pilotable mech, adding a distinct mechanical combat layer to the otherwise fantasy-grounded toolkit.
  • This segment is the second installment in a planned three-video series offering a staged look at the game’s systems ahead of release, so more mechanical and narrative detail is still to come.
