- Peal Abyss’s crimson desert has been delayed to the first quarter of 2026
- Previously it was scheduled by the end of 2025
- The delay is due to voice work and the console certification
Gamescom 2025 is emerging as one of the best in years, with many developers such as Capcom and Microsoft activation that will probably be exhibited for fans as playable demonstrations. Unfortunately, an ambitious title of Pearly Abysss for which I am pumped has given us an early update, and, Spoiler alert, it is not exactly a great news.
As reported by Gematsu, Pearl Abyss’ Crimson desert The Q1 2026 has been delayed, as revealed during a telephone setting conference of the second quarter. Although the open world role play has never had an official launch date, it was scheduled to launch at the end of 2025. This delay is due to the continuous process of ‘voice in off’ and ‘console certification’ that led to its launch.
Crimson desert will join Capcom’s tastes Resident requiem With playable demonstrations available for fans attending Gamescom and Pax West in August, with higher updates in both expected games for the live opening night with Geoff Keighty.
To say that I am discouraged Crimson desertDelay is euphemism, since it is my most anticipated title between 2025 and 2026, and yes, that means more than GTA 6.
While waiting for the next Rockstar Games entry in the GTA The franchise has been agonizing for just over a decade, Crimson desert It seems to be a big surprise and become a Goliath within the genre of action and adventure.
I think it’s sure to say we know GTA 6 It will be an instant success in sales and will probably have the most immersive and realistic open world in games. However, a significant number of players still believe Crimson desertThe realism of the open world is too good to be true. So, the element of surprise that could come from Crimson desert The potential important success is something that I am anxious to wait.
Analysis: A delay hurts, but if it means more Polish, then it is fine for me
Attend
While no one wants to hear that an exciting title has been delayed, not everything is bad. The performance and optimization of games on consoles and especially The PC is the worst that I have seen in all my years of play, with many developers that apparently depend on the expansion and technology methods of generating Nvidia, AMD and Intel.
We know that it is suggested that voice work and the console certification are significant factors in the delay, but I would not be surprised if better optimization before launch is a goal for pearl abyss.
The same applies to GTA 6, which was also scheduled to launch at the end of 2025, but is now scheduled for May 26, 2026. One of the worst things that could happen for any highly anticipated title is bad performance; Reappearance entertainment Star Wars Jedi: Survivor It is an excellent example, since it is a great sequel to Fallen orderbut it is ruined by constant stuttering in console and PC.
In this case, Pearl Abysss must take all the time you need to polish and refine Crimson desertto help you meet the big expectations that you are established.
