A new update is available for Crimson Desert, but unlike past weeks, Pearl Abyss hasn’t added any content like armor sets or features like cross-save (such as it is). Instead, this week’s update is all about bug fixes and gameplay improvements, starting with addressing situations where some bosses suddenly turned transparent in combat.
Crops not growing or not being harvested in certain situations have also been fixed, alongside an issue where Oongka and Damiane couldn’t save a gear that was locked. The Mace of Ambition’s location has changed, making it easier to find, and anytime you’ve collected fish from a trap, the large fish already on your character’s back will no longer disappear.
There are also some much-needed fixes for mid-air Wyvern summons not working and Aerial Maneuver not providing the correct amount of distance when using Aerial Roll. Check out the full patch notes below for more details.
While this week’s update is more focused on improvements, Pearl Abyss is hard at work on other content. That includes improving the story, making it easier for newcomers to get into while ensuring things make more sense. Don’t count on it completely changing things, however.
There’s also DLC in the works, and while the scale and content have yet to be outlined, marketing director Will Powers assures it will be different from the updates released thus far.
