Pearl Abyss said on the 30th that Crimson Desert has been invited to speak at CEDEC 2026 (hereafter CEDEC).
CEDEC, Japan's largest game developers conference, will be held from July 22 to 24 at the Pacifico Yokohama North convention center in Yokohama, Japan. Do Seung-bin and Kim Hyun-gyeom, new game design directors at Pearl Abyss, will give a talk on the theme "Crimson Desert: building a large-scale open-world development process."
They will introduce the challenges faced while building Crimson Desert's large-scale open world and the development process established to address them. They plan to share practical know-how accumulated in operating a large project, including streamlining content production, iterative development, and building collaboration systems.
Crimson Desert sold 2 million copies in a single day after launch, and reached 6 million copies 83 days later. Pearl Abyss said this is an unprecedented box-office record in the history of Korean console games.
