Crimson Desert has received a new trailer showcasing the open world, characters, and key RPG elements. Former Rockstar developer Mike York was impressed by the video and praised Pearl Abyss's work on animations, visual effects, and other aspects of the game.
According to him, the RPG impressed him with the scale of its world and its mystical elements. He praised the combat system, movement through locations, and expressive facial animations, emphasizing that although the game does not use MetaHuman, the result is impressive.
I am impressed by the game. I think they did an excellent job. The animations look very good. The visual effects are also up to par. I really want to play it.
He also noted issues with clipping of objects and characters, which appear from time to time in the trailer. Nevertheless, the developer's overall impression remained extremely positive.
The RPG launches in March and promises native 4K/60FPS on consoles, while the story is designed for nearly 100 hours.
