A leaked move list for Crimson Desert includes throws and counters

A Reddit post shared a move table from a pre-release build of Crimson Desert. It lists dozens of contextual animations: simultaneous presses, held buttons and dodges that become counterattacks.

A separate branch is unarmed combat: suplexes, a jumping shoulder throw and throwing an enemy as a projectile. Bow, shield and two-handed weapons have their own branches. The retelling compares the arsenal to Dante and Ryu Hayabusa, not to the rolls of a typical RPG.

The reaction is mostly approving: that model sits inside an open world instead of being simplified. The caveat is the same: the entry bar may be high. The text dates launch to 20 March 2026 on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.
