"Yeah, that happens a lot," said the developer watching over my shoul🔯der as the Staglord crush𒐪ed my character into the snow.
Sony also reportedly likened the game's atmosphere and story to its own first-party flagship 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Ghost of Tsushima, while Pearl Abyss revealed that it was inspired by games like 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The Witcher 3, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Assassin's Creed, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Red Dead Redemption, and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The Legend of Zelda, seemingly the newer 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Breath of the Wild and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Tears of the Kingdom releases. It's an ambitious project, to say the least, so much so that 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:five years after being announced, we still don't have a concrete release date.
Why Crimson Desert Is Using Its Own Engine And Not UE5
Pearl Abyss also explained the logic behind using its own game engine instead of UE5 during the conference: it all comes down to the finer details. For instance, you behave differently depending on the time of day and temperature, ie your movement speed slows down in the cold. ꧟These more focused, granular changes, it claims, wouldn't be possible with the limitations of a commercial engine.
Crimson Desert was also delayed in 2023 until Q2 2025, and Pearl Abyss clarified that this is because the team wanted to add new features to the open worꦜld. What these new features are, it didn't say. But it did highlight that interactivity with NPCs and the environment was a big focus, which we can see in the reputation system and afformentioned finer details.
Cri🏅mson Desert will launcꦫh some time next year for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.
