Seamless open world
Explore a stunningly crafted open world teeming with life and intricate detail as you follow the journey of Kliff and the Greymanes across the vast continent of Pywel. Embark on the adventure of a lifetime as you traverse lush forests, medieval cities, quaint villages, frigid mountains, and scorching deserts. Along the way, encounter fascinating characters and be immersed in the rich and diverse regions that make up the lands of Pywel.
The seamless open world has been made possible through Pearl Abyss’ proprietary BlackSpace Engine that is capable of creating expansive terrains that come to life thanks to the highly detailed in-game objects and structures. Further immersion is realized through real-time changing environments and weather changes, including temperature changes.

Traversal
Travel across Pywel with a variety of mobility options at your disposal—walk, climb, ride mounts, glide through the air, and even skydive to explore its vast landscapes. For a unique and breathtaking experience, ride flying mounts, soaring above the world and taking in stunning views from high above.
Variety of life activities
Enjoy a wide range of life activities to enhance the experience in Pywel, including cooking, hunting, mining, gathering, fishing, crafting, horse taming, and much more. These activities not only provide useful resources but also deepen your connection with the world, offering countless ways to engage with the rich environment of Pywel.
Action-packed combat
Fight daunting foes and enemies and master a deep combat system that will get hearts pumping and inspire confidence to even challenge the biggest boss. Players can combine various elements such as Kliff's sword, shield, and bow, as well as a variety of other weapons to add to the combat variety. Players can also scavenge weapons dropped by enemies to create combos and experience gripping gameplay.
Furthermore, players can use jumping, blocking, parrying, wrestling-inspired special moves, and special skills to create their own unique combos, which is a key feature of Crimson Desert that allows them to shape battles with their own distinctive combat playstyle.
