Pearl Abyss has confirmed that Crimson Desert will receive support for AMD FSR Redstone Ray Regeneration. The project will be the second game to implement this technology after Call of Duty: Black Ops 7.
ML Ray Regeneration works on a similar principle to DLSS Ray Reconstruction. Machine learning algorithms analyze ray tracing, restore missing data, and reduce visual artifacts. In theory, this allows for a cleaner and more stable image without a noticeable loss in performance.
In general, the developers are placing a strong emphasis on the technological component. The game features advanced lighting and shadows, volumetric fog, realistic fabric and hair physics, as well as interactive vegetation that reacts to wind and player actions. A separate emphasis is placed on the water system. They promise believable waves, currents, and ripples to make the sea and rivers look as natural as possible.
In terms of ambition, Crimson Desert is positioned as one of the most technologically advanced releases of its generation, similar to how Black Desert Online stood out with its advanced graphics at the time.
At the same time, the system requirements look relatively moderate. To run on minimum settings, a Ryzen 5 2600X or Core i5-8500, 16 GB of RAM, and a GTX 1060 or RX 6500 XT-level graphics card will suffice. The recommended configuration includes a Ryzen 7 7700X or Core i7-13700K in combination with an RTX 4070 SUPER or RX 7800 XT.
The release of Crimson Desert is scheduled for March 19.
