The upcoming open-world action RPG from Pearl Abyss, Crimson Desert, is one of the most anticipated releases for fans this year, and like many big-budget titles, it comes with multiple editions packed with different goodies.
Crimson Desert follows mercenary captain Kliff and his companions from Greymanes as they navigate political intrigue, massive battles, and the dynamic world in multiple regions. While the base version gives players access to the full adventure across the continent of Pywel, other editions bundle in extra cosmetics, digital rewards, and physical collectibles depending on how much players want to spend.
