After six hours, previews praise the combat and the density

Streamers and bloggers spent about six hours in Crimson Desert and gave short first impressions. An embargo runs until 4 March, so there is no gameplay footage.

They call the combat unfamiliar: it takes practice, and its structure does not match the usual action games. The amount of activity is aimed at people who search every corner, and they say the game will not be finished in a few days.

Launch is 19 March 2026, which is already 20 March in Moscow time, on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series.
