- The numbers are expected to climb ever further as the release draws closer.
Crimson Desert is arguably the most anticipated release of 2026 after GTA 6. The game is brimming with potential and is on the radar of almost every gamer. It will undoubtedly also have one of the biggest game opening days this year.
Just 2 weeks ahead of its March 19 release, Pearl Abyss has revealed that Crimson Desert has now crossed over 3 million wishlists. This number stacks up to some of the most anticipated titles of all time.
Why it matters: For a new IP, these numbers are staggering and put the title in line with many huge names in gaming. With 2 weeks still to go in the release, the number is expected to grow even further.
Pearl Abyss took to X to thank players for making Crimson Desert reach 3 million wishlists. The countdown to the release has begun, and it is potentially gearing up for a massive launch based on the wishlist numbers.
The expectations from the title are through the roof. A former Rockstar dev even claimed that if GTA 6 doesn’t manage to live up to expectations, Crimson Desert might win the Game of the Year Award for 2026.
The game has built a solid foundation to succeed upon. The initial reviews have been brilliant, praising the gameplay, visuals, and the open-world. If all goes well, it could record its name in the history books.
