Crimson Desert has been a huge hit since it arrived in March, and unsurprisingly, developer Pearl Abyss is looking to capitalize on it with post-launch content. The company outlined plans for the game as part of its quarterly financial performance update, while also revealing that the game made an impressive $180 million in revenue. In comparison, Black Desert Online brought in $40 million during that same quarter, and Pearl Abyss wants to keep the momentum going. "Crimson Desert will continue to focus on enhancing user satisfaction and driving new sales through continuous updates, while expanding its market presence through platform expansion," Pearl Abyss said in its earnings letter . "In addition, we are currently exploring various ways to broaden the game to the next level, including DLC. We will share the details once the concrete plans are set." It has only been two months since Crimson Desert launched, but the game has already shifted a massive 5 million units across PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S in its first 26 days. While Pearl Abyss does expect to sell fewer copies from now on, it still expects the game to sell consistently well throughout the year. As for the studio's other projects--DokeV and Plan 8--these are still in development, and Pearl Abyss is aiming to release a new game every two to three years. Continue Reading at GameSpot
