Crimson Desert Hits 2 Million Wishlists

The new open-world RPG from Pearl Abyss, Crimson Desert is releasing in March, and the team have just announced that the title has been wishlisted over two million times. We reported a couple of weeks ago that pre-orders for the game had gone gold, so it seems like hype is really building ahead of launch. Let’s find out some more, as Crimson Desert hits two million wishlists.

The official release date for Crimson Desert is March 19th, and it is coming to  Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5 and PC. Here’s a bit more about the game from the team at Pearl Abyss: “Crimson Desert is an open-world action-adventure game developed by Pearl Abyss, aiming for a global release on console and PC platforms. A devastating ambush in the deep of night by their sworn enemies the Black Bears leaves members of the Greymanes dead or scattered across the continent. The Greymane Kliff is determined to reunite with his surviving comrades and rebuild what was lost. On a journey where alliances are forged, dangers abound, and mysterious factions are uncovered, Kliff comes to realize that an unprecedented threat and a destiny greater than he imagined await him.”

Our reviews editor Jesse recently got the chance to interview Will Powers, of Pearl Abyss about the upcoming release. You can read the full article on that here. When asked about how the development of the game was progressing ahead of launch, Will had this to say “I know the developers have spent long, hard hours and years making the game at launch to be the best it can possibly be. And we’ll continue to improve on that post-launch. I think that the most important message here is that the beauty of the game industry now is that games only get better with time.“

Not long to wait now!
