Crimson Desert Multiplayer and DLC Plans Hinted at by Pearl Abyss CEO

Expert Verified By

The Game Initially Started Out As A MMO!

Story Highlight
  • Pearl Abyss CEO teased multiplayer and DLC content for Crimson Desert.
  • The game initially started out as an MMORPG.
  • It’ll be a while before this content comes through, since the game needs a lot of fixing right now.

Crimson Desert’s launch was what people had expected, but an RPG on this scale was bound to be imperfect at launch. Nevertheless, people have now begun to appreciate the game’s strengths, and public perception has also shifted notably.

Now, Pearl Abyss is already planning post-launch content for the game and has hinted at multiplayer and DLC if there’s market demand.

Why it matters: Crimson Desert is already a massive game, and as such, it’ll be exciting to see what additions the developers will bring to the game.

Developers Behind The Game Anonymously Posted About Its Rough Development Cycle

On the Q4 2025 earnings call for Pearl Abyss, held last month on the 12th of February, the CEO, Heo Jin-young, discussed plans for the game’s post-launch support, hinting at future content if there’s demand for it.

We are planning to release additional content, such as Crimson Desert DLC or multiplayer content, depending on market demand.

Now, it is important to note that Crimson Desert was originally intended to be an MMORPG, so multiplayer content added in the game would be a full circle moment. Now that the game has sold 3 million copies in just a week of launch, it has become a commercial success.

As such, future content is almost guaranteed for the game. Before that, though, Pearl Abyss has a lot of changes to make to the game. Most of the game’s pros are being overshadowed by the bugs and balance changes.

For instance, dragon riding in the game has a cooldown of 50 minutes and a 15-minute limit, which has really made fans disappointed, since it was one of the biggest selling points for the game.
