![]() ![]() Also, as we don’t define Crimson Desert as an MMORPG – which Black Desert is – so we’ve set different benchmarks and goals for the two titles. ![]() ![]() Black Desert devs still continue updating content with the same cadence and they’re very much focused on the community’s feedback. "The Crimson Desert announcement has had little impact on Black Desert development. "Black Desert and Crimson Desert are two separate projects," Jin said. RELATED: Black Desert Sage Class Detailed, Arriving Later This Month The news comes directly from Pearl Abyss America CEO, Jeonghee Jin, who revealed its long-running MMO won't be cut short due to the upcoming project.įor a long time, fans had believed Crimson Desert to be the MMO successor to Black Desert – but that couldn't be further from the truth. During a recent interview with Jin, we asked if Black Desert development was altered after announcing Crimson Desert. ![]() A mobile version named Black Desert Mobile has also been recently released.Crimson Desert is scheduled to launch later this year, however it will have "little impact" on the development of Black Desert Online. We expect to create synergies and learn more by sharing new and different challenges between the Black Desert and new titles.īlack Desert is currently playable for PC, PS4, and Xbox One. One thing I can say for sure is that developing new titles will not affect the live service of Black Desert, and we try to do something new for each game. Jaehee Kim: It is still too early to say anything about new titles. How are you preparing for its launch and how do you expect it to influence Black Desert, its population, and future development? More specifically, do you plan to have both games run side-by-side, or will you gradually try to transition resources and fanbase to Crimson Desert after it launches? Giuseppe: While Crimson Desert is a different game from Black Desert, many are seeing it as a sort of spiritual successor. But we are pretty sure that our new projects and Black Desert will have synergy. Jaehee Kim: For Nintendo Switch, the next generation of console, and crossplay with PC, we cannot reveal anything because it is not decided yet. Giuseppe: Are you considering porting Black Desert to the Nintendo Switch? If Black Desert itself cannot run, what about Black Desert Mobile? Also, are you considering porting Black Desert Online to the next-generation consoles, maybe expanding cross-play to those as well? Jaehee Kim: We cannot make any comments on this at present, but we do believe in servicing our games on a wide array of platforms, and we intend to unify our communities where possible. Giuseppe: Do you think cross-play is something you’ll try to have from the start in future games made by Pearl Abyss like Crimson Desert? I want to thank the partners and everyone involved once again. One thing I’d like to say is that all throughout the development process, both partners Microsoft and Sony have been very supportive and helpful. I think that cross-play is proof that we can overcome most, if not all problems that we face when developing for new platforms. We like to challenge ourselves at Pearl Abyss, so we did not let that limitation hold us back. Console development was new to us, let alone a cross-play feature. Jaehee Kim: It was relatively complex, as we had never done it before. Giuseppe: Can you talk about the challenges of opening up cross-play between PS4 and Xbox One? Was it a complex process? We cover both handheld and video games platforms and the site has. With elements of online multiplayer, the title takes place on the continent of Pywel made of sweeping plains, cold lands and a barren desert. These are minor efforts but we continue to try to find more ways to help with the pandemic situation and provide players with a true escape when enjoying Black Desert. The developer behind MMORPG Black Desert revealed its new narrative single-player open world action adventure game Crimson Desert. Also, we removed the mention of disease from the game, as we are bombarded with COVID news daily, and in Korea, we applied PC cafe benefits to the in-home players as players can’t use PC cafes freely as before. We added a lot of events for players to keep them engaged during the quarantine. We had some challenges as well but found a way to keep development going. The Coronavirus situation certainly changes the work environment, but we are dedicated to providing the best entertainment to our players, who are currently stuck inside their homes. We hope everyone stays safe during this pandemic. Giuseppe: First of all, how is the Coronavirus pandemic affecting the development team and future updates? I hope you’re all staying safe. To get more insight into Black Desert, its future, and the cross-play transition, Twinfinite interviewed lead producer Jaehee Kim. The game has also earned a strong player base since its launch on PC as Black Desert Online, while Pearl Abyss is racing ahead with further games for the future.
