On a grassy field by a wooden palisade and a timber watchtower, a man with short blond hair in armor over yellow and black striped clothes crouches and fires a short, wide cannon held in both hands. Sparks, fire and glowing streaks burst from the barrel and swirl around him, and a stone keep stands at right.

Under a pale, misty sky, giant gray pillars carved with angular patterns rise on both sides of a stone stairway. A figure with a round shield on his back walks up the steps toward them. Broken stone rings, curved fragments and loose blocks hang in the air, and a small black sphere floats at the center of one ring.

A view looking down from great height. Pale stone platforms shaped like broken rings, round courtyards and long slabs hang in the air above white clouds and a green land far below. Thin blue beams of light cross the scene, and at left a black, spiky cloud-like mass floats beside smaller islands.

A chaotic battle at dusk in a wooded camp. In the center a cluster of warriors with round shields and swords fight at close quarters while orange embers stream through the air. A cloud of dust from an explosion rises at left, a tall tree burns with glowing red branches, and fires burn in the grass and near a wooden shelter at right.

Close combat among crumbling gray stone walls dusted with snow. At left a man in steel shoulder plates and fur, a round shield on his back, braces his sword against an attacker. At right a large armored warrior with the head and branching antlers of a stag, wrapped in a red sash with a gold emblem, pushes forward behind a round shield. Red ribbons hang from the antlers and sparks fly.

In a sunny meadow of tall grass and yellow flowers beside a lone tree, a fighter in dark armor spins in a high kick, trailing a wide curved streak of glowing blue light. The kick catches another man, who doubles over at right. Blades of grass and leaves fly through the air.

In tall golden grass among trees with red and orange leaves, a man in a dark coat with a round metal shield on his back and a sword in hand stands beside a tall wooden post. A sheet of paper with a drawn face is nailed to the post, and a round iron pot hangs from a beam above.

Beside a clear, shallow stream running between rocks and bright green grass, a man in dark armor with a round shield on his back holds a fishing rod, its line reaching into the water. Wooden buildings sit on a rocky ledge at left, and pine trees and a pale cliff rise behind under a cloudy sky.

A dry canyon of tall red sandstone pillars glows in low sunlight. Flat-topped, umbrella-shaped trees grow from the scrub in the foreground, and a pale stone fortress with towers and an arched bridge clings to the cliffs above. A snowy peak rises at far left under a sky of streaky clouds.

Seen from behind, a rider on a brown horse stands by a wooden fence on a grassy hillside path with pine trees at right. Below spreads a wide green valley with rocky hills, a walled castle on a rise and a needle-like spire beyond it, under a blue sky with white clouds and snow-streaked mountains on the horizon.

Seen from behind, a man in dark armor with a large round shield and a quiver of arrows stands on a red-painted wooden balcony. Below lies a town of red timber houses with shingle roofs, a market square of stalls and people, and a lake bordered by pine forest and a yellow-leaved tree.

A man with dark hair and a beard, in armor with a fur collar and a long coat, stands on a grassy hilltop with a snowy owl perched on his raised left glove. White wildflowers grow around him, and a broken wooden frame stands at right before gray, snow-streaked mountains.

A woman with long dark hair in a ponytail, a gold helmet with small wings, bronze armor and a white pleated skirt stands in waist-high yellow flowers, looking at a small book in her hands. A white cat wearing a blue hat with a white plume rests on her back and shoulders. A big tree, snowy mountains and a castle on a cliff fill the background.

A bright green valley with a gravel path through grass and patches of purple flowers. A tall wooden palisade with a gate and watchtower stands at left, a red cloth lies on the grass, tall pines stand at right, and a stone castle sits on a rise below gray mountains with snow.

A tall dark poster headed Crimson Desert, Updates So Far. A gold line runs down the middle, and alternating panels list versions 1.00.00 to 1.16.00 with short notes such as New Mounts, Difficulty Settings Added, Boss Rematch, New Mount: Wyverns, Housing Additions and Cross-Save (PC, Console), each beside a small screenshot: a rider by the sea, a white bear mount, a pond of fish, a wyvern, a covered wagon.

A night scene: a man on a black horse stands on a plain of dry grass, a round shield on his back. Rocky mountains line the horizon, and the band of the Milky Way rises through a deep blue, starry sky.

From high up, a man in dark armor with a flapping black cloak kneels on the rough, spiked gray hide of a huge creature, a sword at his side. Far below stretches a broad valley of forests and fields to distant mountains under a blue sky with white clouds.

Two tall, blocky stone shapes hover above a square stone platform, cracking open with bright orange light and showering sparks and fragments. Around them stand pale walls and towers carved with geometric patterns and a lit lamp on a pillar at right. In the right foreground a figure in a dark cloak with a round metal shield and a quiver stands in grass and red and yellow flowers.

At night in a pine forest, a crowd of warriors runs toward the viewer. At the front a man with long dark hair and blue paint across his eyes carries a round metal shield and a bow, flanked by fighters in furs with axes and spears. Torches light the trees behind them.

A gray, foggy forest of tall conifers. In the lower left a figure in a broad, flat straw hat and a dark coat crouches in the undergrowth, a long weapon across his back. Ahead, a gigantic old tree arches over the path like a pair of legs, a small wooden house built into its top, beside a rocky cliff.

A sunny courtyard among tall trees. Long wooden tables set with mugs, bread and flowers fill the center, strings of round lanterns hang overhead, and potted palms and flower barrels line the left. A red wooden barn with an open door stands at right. A knight in shining plate armor and two women in long dresses stand among the tables.

In a farmyard of trampled grass, a man in a dark coat and pale trousers carries a huge black and pink spotted pig across his shoulders, its legs hanging down. A wooden cart, a fence, haystacks and a white goose surround him, with pine trees and a jagged mountain peak behind.

Inside a ruined stone hall washed in red and orange light, a figure in armor with a shield and bow on his back crouches in the left foreground. Facing him, a huge dragon built of gold metal plates and machinery, its wings spread, lowers its toothed head over burning rubble. A tall carved pillar and broken arches stand behind.

A product photograph on white marble. A white box with a gold maze-like emblem stands at left beside a SteelBook case showing a dragon flying over a lake. In front lie a folded paper map of Pywel, three embroidered patches, a wolf-head Greymane brooch pin, three character photo cards and a black envelope with a gold wax seal, each with a small label.

A product photograph on dark stone blocks. In the center a large statue shows a golden, red-winged dragon rearing over a rocky base where a small cloaked figure stands. Around it are labeled items: the Collector's Edition box, a SteelBook case with the game disc, three photo cards of characters, a rolled fabric map of Pywel, a wolf-head Greymane brooch pin, three embroidered patches and a black envelope with a wax seal. The ESRB Rating Pending mark sits at bottom left.

On a dry plain of red earth and scrub under a blue sky with white clouds, a huge rusted machine on crab-like legs, studded with spikes and pipes, shoots a bright red beam from its front. Dark smoke rises around it, and twisted metal wreckage lies on the ground. Red mesas line the horizon.

Underwater in blue light, a large great white shark swims toward the viewer with its mouth slightly open, its teeth showing. Above and behind it a diver in a heavy suit with a round metal helmet swims along. Coral, sea plants and small fish cover the reef below.

A sunny cobbled street of stone houses with slate roofs, turrets and strings of red pennants. At right a bearded man in a dark cloak leans against a stone wall with a sword at his side. A file of guards in green and gold uniforms with helmets and spears marches past, and at left a short, round figure in green and gold walks with a large bundle.

Painted key art in warm and dark tones. Three figures stand on a rise: in the middle a bearded man in dark leather and fur holds a sword overhead and a large round metal shield, at left a heavyset bearded fighter, at right a young woman with dark hair. Behind them a city of red stone spreads over cliffs, smoke and fire rise from a battlefield at right, and broken blocks of gray stone and a small airship float in the clouds. The words Crimson Desert sit at top right.

Against a white limestone cliff, a man in a bright orange cloak with a round shield on his back raises a pickaxe over his head to strike a cluster of long gray crystal spikes. Dry grass grows at his feet, and buildings with blue domes stand on the clifftop at right.

On a wooden terrace with potted plants, a man with slicked-back hair in a gray vest, rolled sleeves and a yellow apron holds a large pan of chopped red and yellow vegetables over a round stone oven, a bowl of sauce beside him. Behind him, people sit eating at long tables under awnings.

A sunlit canyon of red rock and dry grass. Several soldiers in steel armor, blue capes and helmets with tall blue crests move toward the center, where a bright blue sphere hangs inside a large transparent dome laced with lightning. A walled fortress and wooden scaffolding stand on the cliffs above.

A field of tall pale grass below red cliffs. In the foreground a figure in a dark cloak, a longbow slung across his back, closes in on a fighter in a red and brown robe whose face is hidden by a round mask with two horns. The masked fighter holds a long blade upright.

Looking up into a cloudy sky, a gigantic machine shaped like a fanged sea creature fills the frame. Its body is made of riveted gray and silver plates, tubes and gears, with a curved horn, one bright round eye and an open mouth lined with metal teeth, and long segmented arms reach out from it in every direction.

A tall wooden galleon with an ornate carved stern and several masts of blue and white striped sails sails across choppy blue water. Behind it rise green cliffs with palm-like trees and a distant mountain peak under a bright sky with white clouds.

A young woman with long dark hair, in a dark red coat with a ruffled white collar and a jeweled brooch, raises a sheet of parchment with writing and a red seal in her right hand. Behind her rise a Gothic cathedral with tall arched windows, a statue on a stone bridge and a rocky outcrop.

In a gray, ruined stone courtyard with broken columns and a bare tree, a towering figure covered in shaggy black feathers, wearing a long beaked mask, holds two curved blades that glow red. Facing him, a man with a beard and a round shield raises his sword. Black feathers swirl through the air.

Under a bright sky with white clouds, a large pale castle with columns and arched doorways climbs a rocky, grassy hill to a tall, sharply pointed white spire. In the left foreground a man with a round painted shield on his back stands among orange flowers beside a curved stone colonnade.

Seen from behind, a figure wrapped in a thick gray fur cloak stands on snowy ground. Ahead rises a craggy outcrop coated in ice, built into blocky stone ruins with a doorway lit blue inside. Blocks and fragments of stone float in the clear blue sky at right.

Sunlight streams through tall trees onto a shallow, clear green river. In the right foreground a man in dark clothes with a large round shield on his back sits on a pale rock among tall grass, looking toward the water and a mossy cliff at left.
