If you've been keeping up with Crimson Desert — the open world action game from Korean developer Pearl Abyss — you may remember seeing a bunch of gameplay videos a few months back.

There were boss fights, and then there was a crazy 50-minute walkthrough. It's fair to say that the project's been wowing audiences for quite some time.

And now we've been given another gameplay demonstration: a seven-minute boss battle against some kind of powerful sorceress. The game still looks impressive and packed with potential — and the fact that we've now seen so much of it suggests that Pearl Abyss is very confident in its creation.

Crimson Desert doesn't have a confirmed release date, but rumours suggest that it'll be shown off at The Game Awards next week. We could certainly see it locking down a date there and then.
