The excitement surrounding Crimson Desert is ramping up as we near its release date. The open-world action-adventure game is only two weeks away from releasing on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC on March 19.
Pearl Abyss recently announced that Crimson Desert has exceeded 3 million wishlist tags on all platforms. This includes pre-orders on console storefronts and PC listings as well.
Pearl Abyss’ Crimson Desert reaching 3 million wishlist tags is an impressive milestone for any game ahead of launch, let alone a single-player title within its genre and release window.
The number of wishlists are often seen as an indicator for how a game will perform commercially, seeing how these tags require users to intend to buy a game once it releases.
Developers often track this metric after launch to see how well they did at converting interested users who planned on buying their game. Crimson Desert has been in development for years now and was first teased as a spinoff title to Pearl Abyss’ long-running MMORPG series, though has since transitioned to a single-player adventure game.
Coverage of its world, story, gameplay, and visual elements such as its breathtaking vistas and combat has continued interest in the game up until release. Pearl Abyss doesn’t announce sales figures often, so there’s no telling how well Crimson Desert will do when it launches next month.
However, hitting 3 million wishlists certainly bodes well for the publisher and its action-adventure title.
As Crimson Desert heads into its final days before release, attention will likely shift toward final previews, early impressions, and review coverage. Landing on March 19 means the game has the potential to gain positive word-of-mouth and create immense hype as we move further into the month.
