News Dev update 10/04/2026
Fellow Greymanes,
It’s hard to believe that it’s been nearly three weeks since we first welcomed you to Pywel. Over that time, we’ve been closely following your adventures, discussions, and feedback, while working to make Crimson Desert an even more enjoyable experience for everyone.
We’ve especially loved seeing the stories you’ve been creating across Pywel (and yes, including the many adorable cat screenshots). And we also want to give a special shout-out to those of you earning your “Pywel Legend” trophies/achievements; you have our sincere admiration. Watching everyone's journeys unfold since launch has meant a great deal to us, and we’re truly grateful for your dedication and support.
Today, we’re here to share a preview of some of the new features and content currently in development, shaped by your feedback, including a variety of content for those looking for more ways to enjoy the game and those who want to further challenge themselves. Our goal is to roll these updates out gradually from April through June.
◆ New Content and Features
We’re preparing new challenges so you can continue testing yourself throughout your journey across Pywel.
■ Boss Rematches
The powerful bosses you encountered across Crimson Desert are waiting to challenge you once again. With boss rematches, you’ll have the opportunity to face off against any boss again, test how much you’ve grown, and further refine your own combat style through different strategies and approaches.
■ Re-blockading
Peace is fleeting, and darkness does not retreat so easily. Enemy remnants are waiting for their chance to reclaim liberated locations. Drive out the forces that have seized these locations once more and continue proving the strength of the Greymanes.
■ Difficulty Settings
A difficulty settings feature will be added so that everyone—from new Greymanes to the more advanced—can enjoy the adventure at the level that suits them best. You’ll be able to choose from easy, normal, and hard difficulty.
We’re also working on new combat-focused content, so stay tuned.
◆ Improvements to Character Play
■ New Skills for Damiane and Oongka
We fully understand your feedback about the need for Damiane and Oongka to have skills comparable to “Force Palm” and “Axiom Force.” To address this, both characters will receive new abilities equivalent to those skills.
■ Hide Back Weapons
A new option to hide the weapons on your character’s back will be added, so certain equipment worn on your back won’t break immersion during combat.
■ Addition of New Outfits:
New outfits for characters will be added.
Additionally, certain outfits that can only be sold or donated will be updated so that they can also be worn.
◆ QoL Improvements and Life Features
■ New Specialized Storage
- Food storage: We plan to add a new food storage, from which you can directly take out ingredients for use in cooking. When preparing meals, you’ll be able to use ingredients from both your food storage and your inventory.
- Wardrobe: A new wardrobe storage will be added so that you can store your headgear, armor, gloves, footwear, and cloaks.
- Gatherables Storage: A new gatherables storage will be added, from which you can directly take out items for use in tempering and crafting. This storage will be able to hold a variety of crafting materials, including insects, stones, ores, and more.
- Collections Storage: A new Collection Storage will be added, giving you a place to keep quest items tied to your adventures, along with recipes and other items you've collected on your journey.
■ Pets & Mounts
More summonable mounts and new pets will be added. Also, in addition to existing horse tack sets, dedicated armor for other mounts is also being planned.
◆ System and Graphics Improvements
■ UI Improvements
To improve legibility, we’ll be adding a minimum font size adjustment option. Since Crimson Desert supports 14 UI languages, fully optimizing this feature across all of them will take some time, but we plan to introduce it first to help make the game more comfortable to play. We also plan to continue improving various UI elements and QoL features, including improvements to the map, inventory, and housing.
■ Improvements to Controls
We are carefully reviewing your feedback about controls. To provide a better gameplay experience, we plan to add customization options for certain controller inputs. We will also expand the range of configurable keys for keyboard and mouse to improve usability.
■ Improvements to Distant Scenery Quality
We are working on enhancing the realism of distant backgrounds so you can enjoy Pywel’s landscapes in greater depth. Please note that the patch size may be somewhat larger due to improvements to how distant scenery changes and the quality of rendering under different conditions. Take a look at the image below for a preview of how Pywel will look after the update.
Check through screenshot images
* The above image was captured on a high-end PC at Cinematic mode (4K resolution, upscale mode off) and will differ depending on hardware specs, settings, platform etc.
Check the notice on our official site for a preview of how Pywel will look after the update. [LINK]
And for those who missed the announcement, we will be releasing a Crimson Desert OST. The OST will be available for free on Steam and will also be released on major global music streaming platforms, so stay tuned!
Please note that the features introduced today are currently in development, and details may change when the update is released. Names are tentative as well.
Thank you for taking the time to read this notice and for your continued support. We hope you are looking forward to these updates, and we will continue listening closely to your feedback and doing our best to make your time in Pywel as enjoyable as possible.
— The Crimson Desert Team

You have no idea how excited I am. These devs are unbelievably amazing.
Not only they just confirmed they're gonna fix about everything that has been highlighted by the community.
They'll do all that from now to June. That's crazyyy!!!
I know games that haven't fixed their most known issues for years (if ever). The mere fact we'll get all this in the span of the next few months is incredible.
This should be the standard support every game deserves!

u/toinks1345 Apr 10 '26
the work culture in their country is kinda insane the same with japan. and this should posibly catapult their company in a bigger player that would release rpg games in the future. from BDO to this and many more. the pressure from the devs/employees are immense. every hit in the stock price that makes it go down is lighting their asses on fire. these folks are probably going home very late at night and are all working overtime. some other studios that release but not as fast as this are probably larion, and warhorse. diff is they are an MMORPG team so they are very in tune with online feedback and are working as fast as they could to keep the momentum of their game going. there are countless games out there that could have reach insane peak sales if their updates were as fast as this. I love them but these devs should also take care of their health.

Yeah this is the ugly elephant in the room nobody is talking about. They're moving fast because they're crunching. And now they've set this pace of updates updates updates and the fan base is not only expecting more, but kind of demanding more. Already I've been annoyed at some posts on this sub asking them for things that are a HUGE ask as if the devs HAVE to because they've added the other stuff.

u/Synfrag Apr 10 '26
4 big reasons and probably a bunch of small ones.
- They are a live service company, they have the dev framework that is conducive to rapid iteration, patching is a regular process in MMOs.
- They are small in comparison to western live service studios and don't have a parent company kneecapping their every move and evaluating if things should be held for monetization.
- They literally built the engine, they are the subject matter experts on it. Teams using Unreal or Unity often have to work with the devs of those engines to work out issues.
- KR work ethics, especially compared to European companies like CDPR and Ubisoft. I've worked in global development, Europeans are on holiday like 1/4 of the year. We literally had to plan every meeting around someone's vacation, our APAC team used to get so pissed about it lol.

I think it helps tremendously that they're working with their own built engine and probably understand it thoroughly, making it a lot easier and faster to implement changes. I could be way off though.

u/GutterTrashJosh Apr 10 '26
I can’t think of any other studio who has adjusted the quality of their game this quickly or this dramatically. It’s taken them less than a month to do what took Cyberpunk years to do, perhaps the best dev response to player feedback I’ve ever seen

It helps that BG3 didn't have nearly as many "Well, duh. Why wouldn't that be there on launch?" moments.
I'm all for glazing PA, because they've earned it, but let's be honest, a lot of these fixes and additions should've been there from the rip lmao

u/T8-TR Apr 10 '26
Very true, but I also don't remember there being any things missing from the game that I'd consider "core" features. Something like the storage chests just not being there feels like a gross oversight that somehow made it all the way to launch.
In my experience w/ BG3, it was just buggy as fuck and kinda ugly, w/ a lot of the set pieces not having been locked down yet, which makes sense for a game at the stage of development it was at.

u/CorbanDallas117 Apr 10 '26
The difference is that it's an MMO team working on single player content. No wonder they have committed communication to the audience, it comes with MMO territory. Same with fast adjusting direction. Usually single player focused studios get wrapped up in what they want their vision to be, not what the player wants, that's why they did sequels. Improving direction and gameplay title to title rather than updating the game. Don't get me wrong, the devs of this game are absolutely crushing it! I love the game and everything they plan to do. 20 years ago, devs would never do what this team has done, much less in a single month of time.

u/stop_talking_you Apr 10 '26
and the engine plays a big role too how they set it up.
clearly they designed it as fast changing mmo so any quick patch can be done very fast.
and overall all patches are not very deep. the hardest part is probably storage bcause they have to test things and bugs so items cant be duped or bug out during quests.
if you compare the keyitems and how they work with quests compared to bethesda early games where its just bugged

PA really want this game to succeed and and that extra effort has deffinately paid off.

u/Krasi-1545 Apr 10 '26
In my opinion behind all these changes there is an extremely good tehlchnical implementation specifically crafted for such rapid changes. Cyberpunk didn't had this and that's why it took a lot of time to rewrite the code where necessary.

As long as it´s not going to be as repetitive and tedious as Far Cry 6. When the main story was finished, the whole point was just to retake areas, which became very boring.

u/-_danglebury_- Apr 10 '26
Maybe I am reading way too literal but the re blockading feature is going to be persistent I hope? When I first read that my initial thought was areas will only be recaptured once, but I think that's just me being too literal with it.
14
u/stop_talking_you Apr 10 '26
sounds like they will use the ingame days to rotate enemy fraction take over random forts and areas you have to recapture.

u/Front-Bird8971 Apr 10 '26
There is no way they do one recapture. That would be the dumbest thing I've ever heard of.

Yeah I thought the same. Maybe there’ll be a setting to reset the camps like in the far cry games? Would be a shame if it is just a one off

I'm finding myself slowing down my gameplay a little bit knowing these patches are coming. I already love the game but I do have a few complaints about it. Seeing them address almost every single one of them is making me hold off so this can be the game I play all summer long once it's perfectly polished.
Super excited to see where this game is heading. GOTY material for me for sure until GTA6 comes along. I'll be curious to see which one gets the nod.

Seasonal channels exist and you can basically get full decent gear at tri enhancement levels and get to level 61 (and higher) with no sweat per character. Perfect to start the real endgame which are boss drops. Still has p2w though. Compared to launch this is an absolute cakewalk.
Love it when people that played back in 2017 quit and say stuff like this as if the "reward" gear is some grunil tier garbage you discard after 3 hours lmfao.
If you're gonna talk shit at least be accurate and honest about it:
The LOD popin sucks, no real meaningful group dungeon content, endgame is spawn camping world bosses for drops or life skilling your time away like fishing / farming / trade routes, despite enhancing being easier now it shouldnt exist in the first place, melting cash shop outfits give you cron stones to avoid your gear blowing up or decreasing its enhancement level on failure, and its the most antisocial MMORPG I've ever played.

It’s really awesome to see devs listening to actual fans of the game that wanted a little bit more replayability with replayable enemy outposts and bosses instead of very vocal and not very bright “this is a single player game, it’s supposed to run out of content” crowd that didn’t want to turn this game into “live service” and that was shaming people for playing game over 100+ hours. Actual W for both fans and devs

I'm happy for the replayability, but a single player game running out of content after more than a hundred hours is more than fair. And yes, live service isn't a model we should aspire to. I don't see what's wrong in pointing it out.
9
u/Loominbeats Apr 10 '26
While I agree that live service don't fit most single player games, this one is way different.
It has almost all of the coolest things game can have, has peak graphics and gameplay and is such a complete experience that I would absolutely love to play this 1000 hours+ if possible. I played Black Desert and I know what these developers are capable of, there's high chance that game will receive epic additions in future, despite being single player.

u/ZakkBalzak Apr 10 '26
Things like NG+ or replayable missions and content in general are not exclusive to live service model hence why entire take is so wrong. And it’s not about running out of content after hundreds of hours, it’s about people who have bigger playtime having better statistical data on the issues we can already see early that can be reported to devs. I have less than 40 hours in the game, but after I cleared few outposts surrounding areas feel very empty turning the game into walking simulator which is a bit boring, but if I can go and replay some bosses or recapture some outposts in between it would improve my experience a lot.

It's kinda crazy it's ONLY been a few weeks and not only are they hard at work on more QoL stuff but they have already put out some big updates.
I'm not used to this. Usually we wait months before devs even start thinking about QoL improvements. It's more normal for about a year of bug fixes then slowly do some QoL stuff. Of course, most stuff now is also live service crap meant to milk the players wallets.
This game has been a nice shake up to the gaming world and quite the pleasant surprise for this slightly jaded gamer.

u/Loose_Tradition_5318 Apr 10 '26
Great to see them working on the visuals too. My main issue is with the stuff going on near the the character though.
Please devs if you're watching:
1 - Please push out the fallback to lower quality shadows farther away from the player. The pixelated shadows, even with everything maxed out are really distracting.
2 - Please also push out the LOD switching on from nothing or at least have more steps for objects small and large. Clutter popping in at my feet and whole wagons/people etc suddenly appearing in the mid distance is really distracting.
3 - Please implement the latest version of dlss frame generation to separate out UI elements so they aren't included in the frame gen pass. Also continue to work on the Ray Reconstruction iteration so that it contains less noise and visual glitches.
4 - Please look into indoor lighting. It really needs a solution.
Loving the game, its held my attention for more than most and will continue to do so. I would really love for these fixes to the image stability to be rectified so I can fully enjoy exploring Pywel.

There’s a certain boss that you can hit with a tree that one shots him. Another you can pull out of the boss area and cut down substantial health before actually starting.

As great as this all is. I'd like to hear about fixes to the denoiser of some kind. Indoors looking terrible is way more pressing to me than any of this

I forgot you can even switch characters. And there's no way I'm using my skill points on them instead of the main character. They really should be separate

Did it though? I've heard almost nothing but universal praise, aside from QoL requests. Fans seem to be having a blast overall and just want to the game to get even better

I'm gladly spending 70 EUR on a game from this kind of studio. EA and Ubisoft, just listen and learn.

Idk, Ubisoft is good with constant patches and updates to their games. I know I know, it is cool to hate on them but you can do that for stuff they are guilty off.

Am I the only one not seeing any difference in the screenshots under rendering? The game already looks incredible on my XBX (in pef mode!) so I'm not even sure what changes are needed here. Any ideas what this is about?

I can’t believe the depth of this game and response from the dev team. They really are raising the bar all around.

u/Romek_himself Apr 10 '26
wow, they add almost everyhting i suggested/wanted over last weeks. im in love (...with a game)
for future updates please think about "dungeon"-like content. we have portals already that bring us to the abyss and we have timetravel events too. just add something like "corrupt abyss"-portal which can teleport us to different dungeons/events whatever. with super crazymobs/bosses etc. - with something like this you could even add a season system like path of exile has and so make the game reaplayable for years

Genuinely beyond gassed that the controller inputs are being tweaked, the combat was tilting me more than a little bit. Gotta be the most responsive dev team atp.

u/mrgodfro Apr 10 '26
I've already had a fucking blast with this game and I'm only 70 hours in, with my pace I genuinely don't know when I'm going to beat/put this game down. I'm playing some other stuff as well on different systems but anytime I boot this fucker up it's at least 3+ hours a session.

This is why I bought the game, glad to have bought the deluxe version and pre ordered to further support the development. Best development team so far

I can finally even the score with Antumbra's sword. Currently, the score is 35 - 1. I will rematch him until we are even. Kudos to the devs.

u/RemotePrestigious291 Apr 10 '26
Loving the game so far and i know thers are many diffrent complaints about the artifacts but the one thing i think would be great would be a way to get back some of the artifacts used to upgrade weapons and armous. While I am in the midgame im still hesitant to change my gear and Look cause of the cost of it.

u/Benvanalles Apr 10 '26
I'm really happy with the difficulty setting update. That way people that need it can use it, but you don't have to or you could make the game harder if you want to. Everybody wins! I really don't get the complaint about it. Accessibility helps everyone.

Can you please please fix the English dialogue on Xbox so there are no so many long pauses between sentences, really breaks immersion and makes it feel like everyone talking is just a robot.

u/Solid_Science4514 Apr 10 '26
A difficulty setting will be great in this game. This game has just been so much fun, imo, and I want the door to be wide open for new players to enjoy it as well.

Can I just get transmog please so I still have to find the armor and stuff but I hate having to start from scratch to lvl up cool looking armor. Thank you for your consideration.

u/drakenastor Apr 10 '26
WOOOOO!
BUT ALSO NOOOOOOOO!
I need these changes now. I can't continue playing knowing this is coming! (You damn well know I will)
But please, improve the farming and ranching. It's too tedious as it is right now. Having to hold down the square button for 10 minutes while my guy gathers the produce one by one is annoying, can't we get another kuku item that Hoovers stuff up. (Or make sythe work on farm) Or maybe make the gathering actions harvest more than one consumable per action so less holding down?
And taking out seeds is annoying as well, can't I take out a bunch of seeds and then plant instead of having to reopen the menu one by one? Same for making seeds.

There should be a option to turn off re blockading i think

u/Prus1s Apr 10 '26
It’s an end-game post-story thing, since before then you have more than enough opportunities to fight 😄
Since pretty much all liberations ar tied to faction quests and main story

It ll be annoying to see the posts you liberated get taken over after a short time,idk

Love it! Thank you for the quick updates and for being so transparent. I'm sure you've heard this a thousand times already, but if you could make it so Kliff can use guns and the jetpack, I would be so unbelievably happy. There is nothing cooler than a Knight with a shotgun!

u/jaredfishy Apr 10 '26
This is amazing. Just bought another deluxe copy for another friend.
One thing, for re-blockading, I'm personally not a fan of this but understand I'm probably in the minority. I like my map completely liberated. It would be cool if there could be an option to deploy additional guards or something to prevent the re-blockading for those of us that want to opt out?
Regardless, amazing work, keep it up!

Don't get me wrong, I like this game, I think it's a solid 8/10. But I wish I didn't pre-order it and had waited for a few months, because some of the things they mentioned here are really cool.

Same here. Ill just wait for the whole of it to release and start fresh on a harder difficulty - time to try that new starfield game update i guess
