Pearl Abyss continues to work on the first major expansion for Crimson Desert. The developers have not yet revealed details about the expansion, but recent game updates have led players to speculate that the expansion may be related to a maritime theme.
Officially, Pearl Abyss has only confirmed that the expansion is under development. In a June address, the developers stated that they are preparing additional content for Crimson Desert but are not yet ready to share specific details.
Meanwhile, players have noticed changes in the world of Pywel after the latest updates. In particular, the community discovered new details in coastal areas and underwater. These include underwater vegetation and changes in sand cover on the coasts. Attention was also drawn to areas outside the main explored territory, including the so-called Southern Island, which, judging by the changes, may be receiving additional development.
Another curious discovery was a previously unnoticed underwater area to the east of the map. Players speculate that such changes could be preparing the world for a future expansion.
