“Pearl Abyss (CEO Huh Jin-young) showcased the open-world action-adventure game ‘Crimson Desert’ at the ‘G-Star 2024’ game show held in Busan, establishing it as a highly anticipated title and proving its potential for success.
The striking visuals, dynamic combat system, and immersive gameplay of ‘Crimson Desert’ received praise from attendees and media alike.
The ‘Crimson Desert’ exhibition booth featured around 100 demo PC setups and a preliminary video screening area.
To offer visitors an intense and engaging experience within the limited time available, the demo focused on action and combat, introducing a new boss, ‘Hexe Marie,’ for Korean fans.
Participants, including attendees, media, and influencers, praised the game for its impressive graphics and authentic action, heightening expectations for its release.
The game received high marks for the seamless transition from cutscenes to gameplay, showcasing the advanced technology of Pearl Abyss’s proprietary Black Space Engine.
The exciting depiction of moves like dropkicks, aerial shooting motions, and wrestling-like techniques drew cheers from the audience.
Pearl Abyss structured the booth to focus solely on the game, foregoing separate events, cosplay, or MCs, to provide an authentic gaming experience to users. This focus was validated by long queues at the beginning of the event, demonstrating the compelling nature of ‘Crimson Desert.’
The ‘Crimson Desert’ backpack, distributed as a goodie after the demo, was popular for its sleek design and practicality.
The booth drew large crowds, with wait times reaching 150 minutes.
Approximately 5,000 users participated over three days, and considering that watching the videos and participating in demos lasted about an hour, seats were fully occupied throughout the G-Star event.”
