• Crimson Desert demo to debut at Gamescom B2C booth from August 21 to 25 in Germany
• Immersive booth design enhances the experience from entry to demo gameplay 
• Enjoy high-freedom combat and thrilling action – tailored to your playstyle – through group battles and four different boss fights

Seoul, South Korea – August 12, 2024 – Pearl Abyss will unveil the first-ever playable demo of Crimson Desert at Gamescom 2024, the world’s largest global gaming event, held in Cologne, Germany, from Wednesday through Sunday, August 21-25. 

Global fans will be able to experience Crimson Desert at the Entertainment Area in Hall 6 (Aisle B No: 011 Aisle A No: 01) of the Koelnmesse Exhibition Center. The booth design aims to immerse visitors in the gameplay environment from the moment they enter. 

This year’s Crimson Desert demo highlights intense action-combat mechanics, featuring Kliff as the player character. The demo begins on a fierce battlefield with the Greymane mercenaries, where players will become familiar with the basics of attacking, blocking, dodging, and special skills while facing hordes of enemies. Seamless cutscenes between battles offer a glimpse into the story of Kliff and his fellow mercenaries. 

Afterward, players are transported to a mysterious area where they can choose from four unique bosses. Boss battles take place in various detailed terrain within the vast world of Crimson Desert, including snowy mountaintops and open grassy fields, each meticulously crafted to enhance realism.

Players can expect intense combat against these four distinctive bosses, each featuring different designs, attack patterns, speeds, and mechanics. Analyzing each boss’s combat style and devising custom strategies to defeat them will provide a fresh challenge with every encounter. 

Players can combine various elements such as Kliff’s one-handed sword and shield, bow, and various skills to create combos and experience gripping gameplay. A unique feature of Crimson Desert is that players can lead battles by creating their own unique combat playstyle.

All demo participants will receive exclusive Crimson Desert merchandise. Additionally, those who complete a survey will have the chance to win prizes through a raffle such as high-end graphics cards.

Crimson Desert is an open-world action-adventure game that tells the story of mercenaries fighting for survival on the vast continent of Pywel. Developed using Pearl Abyss’ next-generation game engine, the BlackSpace Engine, the game delivers lifelike graphics, huge vistas, distinct creature designs, and more. 

Last year, Crimson Desert captivated global audiences with a trailer showcasing gameplay at the Gamescom Opening Night Live showcase (ONL) and received high praise from international media during a closed-doors demo.  

The game is scheduled for simultaneous global release on console and PC platforms. For more information on Crimson Desert, including all the announcements at Gamescom, please visit the official website and follow Crimson Desert on X, Instagram, Facebook and YouTube.
