Powers made it clear during numerous recent interviews that crimson desert In fact, it is not an RPG, so players must limit their expectations in terms of choice and freedom. However, it clearly still has some RPG elements, somewhat reminiscent of Capcom’s game. Dragon Dogma 2.
You can ride dragons, mechs, bears, horses (if you’re boring), and much more that hasn’t been revealed yet. All of those mounts seem necessary to get through such a massive game.
Based on the size of the map and the content promised, there aren’t many other upcoming games that have shown the level of scale and detail. crimson desert has, apart from, of course, GTA 6.
Red Dead Redemption 2 The open world felt alive with a huge map and multiple unique interactions and random events, which weren’t always focused on the main story, and crimson desert He seems ready to replicate that same sentiment.

Opinion: This looks like a strong GOTY contender
I always do my best to avoid ramping up excitement for upcoming games, for fear of potential disappointment, but Pearl Abyss crimson desert It has left me more and more excited with each reveal so far.
It’s a title I’ve had my eye on since its first trailer reveal back in 2019, and it’s come a long way since then, and with all the impressive combat, exploration, and mechanics on display, it looks like it could be a serious contender for Game of the Year awards.
Please note that 2026 has many highly anticipated titles: Resident Evil Requiem (my second most anticipated game), Zero Ghost Blade, 007 First light, Onimusha: Way of the Swordand Marvel’s Wolverine.
So Pearl Abyss has plenty of competition, but the most important thing is that it looks like 2026 will be one of the best years for gaming, and I’m sure crimson desert will have an important role to play in it.
