Pearl Abyss, the developer behind the anticipated action-adventure game Crimson Desert, has reportedly rejected a PlayStation exclusivity deal offered by Sony. The studio's commitment to independent publishing remains steadfast.
Pearl Abyss confirmed its self-publishing plans in a recent earnings call, reiterating its decision in a statement to Eurogamer. While acknowledging and appreciating its business partners, the developer emphasized its focus on independent release. The statement further clarified that ongoing discussions regarding collaborations are underway.
A playable Crimson Desert build will be showcased to media this week in Paris and to the public at G-Star in November. The company dispelled rumors regarding a confirmed release date, stating that any such information currently circulating is purely speculative.
September investor meetings revealed Sony's attempt to secure Crimson Desert as a PlayStation 5 exclusive, potentially excluding Xbox platforms for a period. However, Pearl Abyss opted for self-publishing, believing it would yield significantly higher profitability.
Currently, neither a definitive platform list nor a concrete release date has been announced. However, a PC, PlayStation, and Xbox launch is anticipated around Q2 2025.
