The upcoming prequel to hit MMO Black Desert Online, Crimson Desert and its release date are fast approaching.
First announced back in 2023, we've now seen a few trailers drop, and even some previews along the way, so it's time to start getting excited.
So, if you're looking forward to Pearl Abyss's upcoming open world adventure, here are all the details about the Crimson Desert release date and more.
When is the Crimson Desert release date?
Crimson Desert releases on 19th March 2026 for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
This was revealed during last September's Sony State of Play as part of a new trailer.
The game was initially scheduled to release in 2024. This was then pushed back, with a trailer at The Game Awards 2024 seemingly confirming a late-2025 release.
Of course, we now know that the game was further delayed, so here's hoping that 19th March is the definitive release date.
You can pre-order digital versions of the game directly from their respective storefronts:

Crimson Desert is releasing on PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC.
It was originally meant to release on PS4 and Xbox One, but following a couple of delays, it's moved onto current gen consoles only.
We also don't know if a Switch 2 version is on the books, but if it sells well enough, who knows?
Much like its spiritual predecessor, Crimson Desert is an open-world fantasy RPG. You can explore it on foot or horseback, and you'll have the option to complete quests, fish, chop trees and - we're delighted to say - pet plenty of dogs.
The combat looks to be a satisfying combo, block and parry affair, with a variety of interesting enemies (including ones you can climb, à la Shadow of the Colossus).
As for the story, we don't know much about that from the trailer. All we know is the game is set in the same universe as Black Desert Online, and we take control of protagonist Macduff as he fights against the forces of evil and confronts his past.
