![]() RELATED: How Cyberpunk 2077's Map Stacks Up Against The Witcher 3Įspecially different compared to Black Desert Online, and tangentially The Witcher, is the game's action RPG battle system. As for how that's going to work in multiplayer has yet to be revealed, but really all that's been shown of the game is gameplay and narrative moments from singleplayer moments. Rather than players creating their own character, they all embody a unique version of Macduff, meaning the emphasis of singleplayer storytelling is especially important in Crimson Desert. The game does feature some PvP and MMO-like elements, but a majority of the game's storytelling is focused entirely on the singleplayer aspect of the game. Though it's unclear whether or not it's in the same universe, Crimson Desert is not directly connected to Black Desert Online in any specific way. However, that's really where the similarities end.

Evidently, according to Crimson Desert's first trailer, this expands beyond helping commoners to being embroiled in the politics of both their homeland and the places Macduff travels to. On a surface level, the similarities to The Witcher seem pretty obvious: A mercenary named Macduff will travel across varying villages, kingdoms, and lands, listening to the trials and tribulations of the people and helping where they can.

Other than the general framework of an outsider who's got a troubled past, who ends up somehow being enthralled in the political dealings of a foreign land, the world and general gameplay is very distinct in Crimson Desert. ![]() That comparison isn't entirely off the mark, but it's clear that Crimson Desert differs in several key areas compared to The Witcher 3. ![]() Many drew comparisons to a certain other impressive open-world RPG, specifically CD Projekt Red's The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Even more surprising is that Crimson Desert is due to release winter 2021, just a year after its first trailer. After the visually impressive cinematic and gameplay trailer, many were surprised with the game's initial. Known for its popular MMO Black Desert Online, Pearl Abyss is also working on another vastly different game: a singleplayer action RPG called Crimson Desert. At the Game Awards last year, among all the other exciting announcements, one particularly exciting reveal came from South Korean developer Pearl Abyss. ![]()
