Today is a huge day for open-world RPG fans. As you may know, Pearl Abyss, the studio behind Crimson Desert, has announced that the game has finally gone gold, almost two months ahead of its release. This might not be a big deal for some, but the truth is that it is. A game hitting that gold status means it is feature-complete and ready to go. In Crimson Desert‘s case, it has reached that status way before its launch date, giving us a lot of hope for this upcoming gigantic adventure.
Crimson Desert Goes Gold Almost Two Months Before Its Release
Today, Pearl Abyss shared the following: “We’re thrilled to announce that Crimson Desert has gone gold!” Again, for the unaware, a game reaching gold status basically means that it is ready to be shipped, physically or digitally, depending on the title. In other words, it is ready for players to try it.
What makes this a huge deal is that Pearl Abyss announced it almost two months before the game’s official launch. As you know, Crimson Desert will land on March 19, so announcing it today just shows that the team was hard at work to complete this expansive open-world adventure. On top of that, it gives the studio plenty of time to iron out some bugs or other technical hiccups that might have remained in the game, assuming that’s the case.
Furthermore, we have to remember that ever since we saw Crimson Desert for the first time, some people have been a bit skeptical about it. The world and combat seemed too good to be true, but early impressions have appeased those doubts, claiming that the game is indeed as good as it looks in trailers. On top of that, Crimson Desert has already made a big splash in the open-world scene, with the studio confirming that the game’s world will be larger than that of Skyrim and even Red Dead Redemption 2.
There’s still time before we all get to try Crimson Desert, but the fact that it has gone gold gives us peace of mind, as there won’t be any delays or last-minute changes. Players are now hoping to get a demo of this game soon to try it out and just to see how well it will run on all the platforms it’s launching on. But even without a demo, the gaming community is pretty excited for what seems to be one of the biggest open-world experiences we’ve had in a while.
