Both the gaming community and critics universally agree that the storyline of the game Crimson Desert could have been significantly better. Notably, Ho Jin Young, CEO of Pearl Abyss, expressed partial agreement with this assessment.
During a discussion with shareholders, Ho addressed questions regarding the “shortcomings” of the narrative.
He stated that the development team shares players’ disappointment regarding the plot’s deficiencies, admitting that their inability to improve it was an oversight on their part.
The company head emphasized that the studio focused its efforts on the game’s strong gameplay aspects, expressing hope for a more robust and well-executed narrative component in future projects. While this statement doesn’t directly confirm earlier circulating rumors about development difficulties, it indirectly lends them additional credibility.
