About Crimson Desert
Crimson Desert was teased as a Black Desert prequel but then morphed into its own thing. Rather than an MMO, Crimson Desert is a single-player action-adventure.
You play as Kliff, one of the Greymane mercenaries. When Kliff’s team is attacked by the Black Bears, he gets separated from the group and must trek across Pywel. During his adventure, he becomes dragged into the conflict of the land and discovers the secrets of the Abyss and its ancient technology.
