Crimson Desert, which is slated for a March 20 release, is gathering significant attention on Steam.

Pearl Abyss announced on the 12th that Crimson Desert has surpassed 2 million Steam wishlists. This figure serves as a clear indicator of the global anticipation building up for the game ahead of its official launch. Given that Steam wishlists are often regarded as a leading indicator for Steam front-page visibility and early sales performance, this is certainly worth noting.

Crimson Desert is an open-world action-adventure title built on Pearl Abyss’s proprietary BlackSpace Engine. It features an expansive world, realistic visuals, and a dynamic combat system, following the journey of Kliff as he fights to reclaim his lost home. The game has been drawing significant attention since January through a series of new trailers that provided more detailed information.

Pearl Abyss plans to further build anticipation for Crimson Desert through global media previews, influencer collaborations, and a phased rollout of review codes before launch. Following the release of Crimson Desert, the studio intends to sequentially launch DokeV and Plan 8, while also exploring potential content expansions such as DLC and multiplayer modes depending on market demand.

Crimson Desert is scheduled to launch on PC and consoles on March 20.
