Overview
- Pearl Abyss told shareholders Tuesday that it is actively developing a Nintendo Switch 2 version of Crimson Desert and that early internal builds can run basic gameplay.
- The company warned the port faces major technical hurdles and must preserve the game’s graphics, fast-paced action, and open-world scale through extensive optimization and testing.
- Pearl Abyss declined to give a release window and said it will announce a schedule only after partner checks and technical verification meet the studio’s quality standards.
- The developer is separately studying multiplayer options and confirmed it will share more details about planned paid DLC and post-launch content later this year.
- Crimson Desert launched in March on PS5, PC and Xbox Series with initial PS5 performance and graphical problems that were patched, and porting to Switch 2 is complicated by the console’s lower hardware profile and Pearl Abyss’s broader project priorities.
