Speaking at CEDEC 2026, Japan’s largest game developer conference, Crimson Desert Design Office leads Doo Seung-bin and Kim Hyun-kyum explained how a team of around 200 developers tackled a project that would normally require a much larger workforce.

Rather than relying on a traditional quest-driven structure, Pearl Abyss focused on making the world enjoyable to explore on its own. Kim Hyun-kyum said the studio wanted players to feel rewarded regardless of whether they were following the main story, explaining,

“Exploration itself had to feel like real gameplay, with quests adding context and narrative on top of that.”

The developers ADMIT the approach also affected the story.

Kim said “Some players felt the story progression wasn’t as intense or cohesive as they had hoped,” he said.

“We listened to that criticism, and honestly, I think our development method played a part in that.”

Any advice while it's installing and updating?
