Pearl Abyss Released a New Update for Crimson Desert, Patch Notes Version 1.06.00

It’s been a little more than a week since Pearl Abyss released the latest update for its RPG hit, Crimson Desert. Patch Notes Version 1.05.00 significantly transformed the game, as it added the feature of replaying boss fights and the ability to reclaim territories captured by enemies.

But it is now a new week, and the studio already released a fresh new update for the game— Patch Notes Version 1.06.00, which also contains some interesting features. For instance, it adds to the game new types of mounts, which are called – Special Mounts, and also an extraction function. The update is now available on PC and Mac (Steam) and PlayStation 5, while on Xbox Series X/S, PC (Epic Games Store), and Mac App Store it will become available later. You can check out the main new features in Crimson Desert’s Patch Notes Version 1.06.00 below, in a statement released by Pearl Abyss on the game’s site:

“Fellow Greymanes, Here are the fixes and improvements that have been added this patch.

This patch adds an Extraction function to recover materials used in refinement, as well as Special Mounts. It also introduces various improvements, including a Display Sheath option and a Night Tone Mode option.

New Additions:

• New Special Mounts. Certain animals can now be registered as special mounts after gaining their trust. Available for: Bears, Boars, Wolves, Deer, Mountain Goats, Kuku Birds, Iguanas, Raptors, Camels, Lions, and Tigers. You can feed your mount while riding it by selecting a food item from your inventory and choosing “Feed".
• Added a new tab for special mounts to the inventory UI.
• Saddles no longer appear as part of special mounts' default appearance and can now be equipped.
• Added an "Extraction" feature that allows you to recover materials used to refine equipment. Materials used to refine equipment can partially be recovered. This feature can be used by interacting with smithies in various regions.
• Extraction can be performed for a single refinement level or all the way back to the base refinement level, which is the equipment's refinement level when it was first acquired.
• Added new unarmed combat skills for Oongka
• Added sheaths for swords.
• Added the item "Sigil of Valor". When equipped, pet dogs will attack enemies.

• Fixed boss behavior so that bosses now quickly return to the combat area after leaving it.
• Fixed an issue where the character would become invisible during rematches against certain bosses.
• Fixed rendering issues in certain situations.

Pearl Abyss continues to enrich Crimson Desert with content as well as release regular updates aimed at improving the game's performance, and compared to how the game looked in March, when it was just released, and how it looks now, one can say that the developers have done a tremendous amount of work, and it seems that they do not intend to stop.

The studio is also working on their next title, DokeV, announced back in 2019. It's an open-world action-adventure video game featuring Dokebi—Korean folklore creatures that gain strength from people’s dreams and collide together on their adventures. The release date of the game is currently planned no earlier than 2027 for PC, Xbox Series X/S, and PlayStation 5.

Crimson Desert is available now on PC, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, Mac, and Xbox ROG Ally.
