According to the developers, it will take about 6 hours to traverse the map on foot from edge to edge, and 2 hours on horseback. If Skyrim occupies ~37 km², then Crimson Desert may occupy 74–110 km².
The world is divided into five regions with different biomes and cultures, filled with activities and opportunities for exploration. Travel will be a key element of the gameplay – on horseback, using gliders, and a fast travel system available after the first trip to a point.
Additionally confirmed: the game will feature 29 types of rideable animals, 401 types of beasts and monsters, 76 bosses, 110 factions, and 467 unique NPCs. The gameplay promises to be long and rich.
