Crimson Desert, Black Desert Online's Successor, Turns Down PS5 Exclusivity Deal

Crimson Desert developer Pearl Abyss is standing firm with its choice to self-publish its upcoming action-adventure title. "In our recent quarter earnings call, which is publicly available, we disclosed that we would publish Crimson Desert on our own," the developer clarified in a statement to Eurogamer. "We naturally respect and value our business partners with whom we are in regular communication regarding our progress and plans, and we are exploring various forms of collaboration with them."

Additionally, the developer announced that it will be exhibiting Crimson Desert to the public in November. Pearl Abyss stated, "Furthermore, we have not yet announced a release date, so any articles on the subject are merely speculation at this time. We are eager to demonstrate a playable Crimson Desert build to media this week in Paris and to the public at G-Star in November."

According to an investor meeting in September, it was revealed that Sony attempted to negotiate an agreement with Pearl Abyss to make Crimson Desert exclusively available on the PS5, which would have prevented the game from being released on the Xbox platform for a period of time. However, Pearl Abyss stated that they opted to self-publish Crimson Desert as "it was determined that self-publishing would be highly lucrative."

A definitive list of platforms on which Crimson Desert will be released has not yet been confirmed, nor has an official release date. The game is anticipated to be released on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox sometime in Q2 2025.
