Crimson Desert Rejects PS5 Exclusivity, Embracing Multiplatform Future
Pearl Abyss Rejects PS5 Exclusivity Deal for Crimson Desert
Pearl Abyss, the developer behind the anticipated action-adventure game Crimson Desert, has reportedly declined a PlayStation exclusivity deal with Sony. The company intends to self-publish the title, prioritizing independent distribution.
Maintaining Independence for Crimson Desert
In a statement to Eurogamer, Pearl Abyss confirmed its self-publishing strategy, emphasizing its ongoing relationships with various partners while exploring collaborative opportunities. This decision follows a previous announcement during their last earnings call.
Upcoming Showcases and Uncertain Release Date
While a release date remains unconfirmed, Pearl Abyss plans to unveil a playable Crimson Desert build to media this week in Paris, with a public demonstration at G-Star in November. Speculation regarding release dates and platform exclusivity are premature, according to the developer.
September investor meetings revealed Sony's attempt to secure a PS5 exclusive deal, potentially excluding Xbox for a period. Pearl Abyss opted for self-publishing, confident in its profitability.
The final platform lineup and release date for Crimson Desert remain unannounced, although a PC, PlayStation, and Xbox launch is anticipated around Q2 2025.
