Reporting from 1 source: Game Spark.
Pearl Abyss confirmed at a July 7 shareholder meeting that the Switch 2 version of Crimson Desert is in development and has reached a stage where basic gameplay is possible. CEO Heo Jin-young said the team is focused on maintaining the game's graphics, action, and open-world experience on the platform. No release date has been set.
Pearl Abyss first disclosed internal R&D for a Switch 2 version of Crimson Desert at a shareholder meeting in March. Three months later, the project has progressed to a playable state, CEO Heo Jin-young told investors on July 7. He stressed that the port is not a simple transfer; the team must ensure the game's graphics, action, and open-world experience hold up on Nintendo's hardware. Optimization, technical validation, and partner collaboration are ongoing. The company also discussed its next title, DokeV, which has moved into content production and targets a late 2028 release.
