As promised, Pearl Abyss has shown off the first gameplay trailer for its upcoming game, Crimson Desert, at The Game Awards. We've embedded it above for your viewing pleasure.
Crimson Desert is a game set within the same universe as the popular MMO Black Desert. It's a big, open world action adventure with both single player and online multiplayer aspects. The trailer goes over things like the game's setting — the fictional continent of Pywel — combat and gameplay. Playing as Macduff, you'll gather up a group of mercenaries to help fight for his cause.
It all looks rather ambitious, and we're interested to see more in the run up to release. The game is scheduled to launch in winter 2021 for PC and consoles (presumably PS5). What do you think of Crimson Desert? Tell us in the comments section below.

I like the setting and that trailer was meaty. So far it looks like Skyrim & The Witcher 3, but with better combat and gameplay.
Looks great! Some combat looked a little off but looks beautiful and like it’ll be a lot of fun.
Looks hot! First trailer tonight that wowed me.
It does need work in the graphics in my opinion...
When I saw the guy climbing the monster, I thought it would be a new Dragon's Dogma.
Wow am I surprised by this. This is the first next gen game that actually looks like a next gen game. I never paid much attention to Black Desert because it was an online MMO, but this being sp really has me intrigued!
Looked really good.
Where's the desert?
Reminds me of Dragon's Dogma.
If you've never played - you owe it to yourself to experience this hidden gem.
Looks really rough. Will look forward to play on PS5.
Looked fantastic. A great level of realism in the colour palette ironically makes it stand out.
@locoism25 It doesn’t get better than photorealistic graphics, but yeah sure lol
Stylish af. Can’t wait for the superior, PC version. It had better make my laptop melt with graphics like that.
Looks great but very janky in the fps department
Best thing I saw all show.
love it. This is how Valhalla should look like. I loved Black Desert and this on will be even better.
Edit: I think this is UE5 right?
This is the best looking game I think I've ever seen. Is Winter 2021 Jan 2021 - Mar 2021, like its coming out in a few months?

Looks amazing! But then again, so did Black Desert and that was a shockingly shonky game! But at least it has a very confusing character generation whereas is this you're stuck playing Jon Snow?
At least it looks like you can walk in this one rather then constantly running past your objective assuming you can find that!
So they're making another online only mmo to cannibalize their other online only mmo in a market flooded with mmos? Okay lol.
Seriously I'm sick and tired of this mmo crap, every second some company announces a new mmo, bet a new one will be announced everyday for the next two months, sad part is they will definitely skimp out on the single player portion after they release it.

Hi there fellow gamers. This was one of the few highlights of the show for me. Pearl Abyss team was able to finnaly deliver a singleplayer story driven game with amazing visuals and awesome combat mechanics.
It´s still a little rough around the edges but I believe they can pull this of.
Hope both the PC and PS5 versions of this will run great.
Cheers, stay safe and happy gaming to us all
This looks pretty rad. Hopefully some fun co-op action.
They have my attention. I'm a rpg guy so that with I'll be honest half the cool stuff in the trailer. I'd be satisfied
The framerate needs a lot of work, but this actually looks promising.
I wasnt paying any attention to this before but holy cow this was the stand out of the night!! It looked incredible!! Fps dips and all, im actually glad they showed what seemed to be an honest gameplay trailer flaws and all. I appreciate that. It will surely been cleaned up a bit before launch.
But holy moly it was gorgeous!
Wait this is single player?! I am def more interested now.
