The Summer Roadmap at a Glance

  • Combat Content: There will be new combat-focused content that lets you prove yourtrue strength as a Greymane. So you can expect particularly tough challenges.

  • Re-Blockade: The Re-Blockade is being revamped and expanded with a new phase. There will also be better rewards and new ways to defend specific strongholds from invasion.
    • Story Improvements: The narrative flow of the story will be improved, and connections between certain scenes will be clarified.

    • Gameplay:Damiane and Oongka will receive gameplay improvements so that the three playable charactersare equally in the spotlight.

  • Cross-Save: By linking an account, you should be able to share your save data across PC, PlayStation, and Xbox.
    • Quality of Life: Based on community feedback, several QoL improvements will be introduced to make certain non-combat content, such as trading and farming, more user-friendly.

    The GlobalESportNews editorial team has already spent hundreds of hours in the Crimson Desert. After a thorough analysis, our editor Peter is now firmly of the opinion that it is this generation’s The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim. A powerful endorsement, considering that Bethesda’s landmark RPG is still played by tens of thousands of people every day. You can find his reasoning in the link box above.
