No, Crimson Desert is not a sequel to Black Desert, it may have initially been envisioned as a prequel to Black Desert Online, but its development journey took a different path. While it shares some thematic elements with its predecessor, developers of Pearl Abyss have emphasized that it’s not tied directly to Black Desert. Instead, Crimson Desert stands as its own standalone world, offering a unique gaming experience set in a similar universe.

The game is based on a vast continent of Pywel, a land steeped in medieval fantasy and shrouded in mystery. You will be using the shoes of Macduff (Lord Macduff, the Thane of Fife, is a character and the main heroic antagonist of Macbeth, by William Shakespeare)

As a mercenary grappling with past demons, you’ll lead the charge through a narrative-driven journey that promises excitement at every turn, Macduff leads a crew of mercenaries, shouldering the heavy burden of leadership while grappling with his troubled past. His choices not only affect his own destiny but also intertwine with the fates of his comrades (which you may also play), creating a narrative where every decision carries weight.
