The Switch 2 port is aimed at the first half of 2027

Pearl Abyss says a basic version of Crimson Desert on Nintendo Switch 2 is already playable, and the team is working toward a release in the first half of 2027. An exact date cannot be confirmed yet: performance checks and technical tests against the studio’s quality standards are still running.

The studio repeats that it does not want a straight port. Graphics, action and a seamless open world are supposed to remain on the console. Heo Jin-young has said before that internal research on the port had already started.

Updates are promised on official channels once the details are agreed. This is a window, not a date on the calendar.
