As the trailer revealed, Crimson Desert will take players to the medieval realm of Pywel, which is divided into many regions, and each of these regions is fighting for survival. Therefore, it’s a total anarchy where everyone is part of the war-torn society. Here, the role of the players is to fight the evil powers to bring back peace.
