Crimson desert platform for free#
JJ: We recently offered the game for free for a couple of weeks to celebrate the move to self-publishing and the 5th anniversary. TG: Do you think Black Desert will ever pivot to a free-to-play model? It’s a great time to play Black Desert Online, and we couldn’t be prouder.
The title has also been ranked as one of the “Top Sellers” and “What's Popular” in the MMORPG genre on Steam. Since the transfer, we’ve seen a significant increase of over 200% in our daily players and a huge increase in our new users as well. Hopefully all the Black Desert Online players who previously bought the game complete the data transfer on our website and continue playing the game. We wanted to give more time to the players to transfer their data, but it was not entirely in our control and we had to agree to cut off access at the end of May.

A mobile version named Black Desert Mobile has also been recently released.One unfortunate thing I want to emphasize: we are only permitted to grant our PC players up to May 31 to transfer their account or they will lose their data. We expect to create synergies and learn more by sharing new and different challenges between the Black Desert and new titles.īlack Desert is currently playable for PC, PS4, and Xbox One. One thing I can say for sure is that developing new titles will not affect the live service of Black Desert, and we try to do something new for each game. Jaehee Kim: It is still too early to say anything about new titles. How are you preparing for its launch and how do you expect it to influence Black Desert, its population, and future development? More specifically, do you plan to have both games run side-by-side, or will you gradually try to transition resources and fanbase to Crimson Desert after it launches? Giuseppe: While Crimson Desert is a different game from Black Desert, many are seeing it as a sort of spiritual successor. But we are pretty sure that our new projects and Black Desert will have synergy. Jaehee Kim: For Nintendo Switch, the next generation of console, and crossplay with PC, we cannot reveal anything because it is not decided yet. Giuseppe: Are you considering porting Black Desert to the Nintendo Switch? If Black Desert itself cannot run, what about Black Desert Mobile? Also, are you considering porting Black Desert Online to the next-generation consoles, maybe expanding cross-play to those as well? Jaehee Kim: We cannot make any comments on this at present, but we do believe in servicing our games on a wide array of platforms, and we intend to unify our communities where possible. Giuseppe: Do you think cross-play is something you’ll try to have from the start in future games made by Pearl Abyss like Crimson Desert? I want to thank the partners and everyone involved once again. One thing I’d like to say is that all throughout the development process, both partners Microsoft and Sony have been very supportive and helpful.
I think that cross-play is proof that we can overcome most, if not all problems that we face when developing for new platforms. We like to challenge ourselves at Pearl Abyss, so we did not let that limitation hold us back. Console development was new to us, let alone a cross-play feature. Jaehee Kim: It was relatively complex, as we had never done it before.

Giuseppe: Can you talk about the challenges of opening up cross-play between PS4 and Xbox One? Was it a complex process? These are minor efforts but we continue to try to find more ways to help with the pandemic situation and provide players with a true escape when enjoying Black Desert. Also, we removed the mention of disease from the game, as we are bombarded with COVID news daily, and in Korea, we applied PC cafe benefits to the in-home players as players can’t use PC cafes freely as before. We added a lot of events for players to keep them engaged during the quarantine. We had some challenges as well but found a way to keep development going. The Coronavirus situation certainly changes the work environment, but we are dedicated to providing the best entertainment to our players, who are currently stuck inside their homes. We hope everyone stays safe during this pandemic. Giuseppe: First of all, how is the Coronavirus pandemic affecting the development team and future updates? I hope you’re all staying safe. To get more insight into Black Desert, its future, and the cross-play transition, Twinfinite interviewed lead producer Jaehee Kim. The game has also earned a strong player base since its launch on PC as Black Desert Online, while Pearl Abyss is racing ahead with further games for the future. Pearl Abyss’ popular MMORPG Black Desert recently implemented cross-play, enabling its players on PS4 and Xbox One to play with each other regardless of platform.
