Pearl Abyss Exploring Possibility to Add Multiplayer and Mod Support to Crimson Desert

Crimson Desert continues to win over players' hearts. After the recent release of Patch 1.01.00, Pearl Abyss’ game is now having Mostly Positive reviews on Steam, and considering negative feedback from players when Crimson Desert was launched on March 19, it’s a great success for the studio.

Recently, the CEO of Pearl Abyss, Heo Jin-young, has held a meeting with South Korean investors following the success of Crimson Desert. Although he wished the game’s plot could have been better, the studio’s primary target during the development was the gameplay. He also revealed potential plans for the future of Crimson Desert—specifically, adding a multiplayer mode and support of gamers's mods.

While Jin-young hasn’t announced anything, he stated that Pearl Abyss has already been trying to create multiplayer for Crimson Desert, but “there are clearly aspects of graphics that must be sacrificed in the current device environment.” Speaking of mod support, the talks are continuing to take place inside the studio, but currently “there are some challenges.” At the end, he indicated that Pearl Abyss wants to make Crimson Desert the game players will enjoy for years, and the studio will continue to actively support it.

Besides Heo Jin-young, who admitted the weak story of Crimson Desert, we recently heard the same (and even more) from Alec Newman, the voice actor of Kliff, the game’s protagonist. During the recent interview, he revealed more information about Crimson Desert’s hard developing process, which you can check out here.
