    Crimson Desert Hands-On Preview: Stunning Open World and Dynamic Combat at SGF 2025

    At Summer Game Fest 2025 Play Days, I finally got hands-on time with Crimson Desert, one of the most anticipated open-world RPGs coming this year. Unlike earlier demos focused on combat or boss fights, this was the first time I experienced a full story chapter-complete with dynamic physics, large-scale battles, and jaw-dropping visuals

    The Start
    You are in the shoes of Kliff, who has just had a massive loss in an ambush with his soldiers, who are the Greymanes. After this loss, it is up to Kliff to find the scattered remnants of the Greymanes. He gets word of Oongka, a man from his group who is now in the middle of a rebellion. It is now up to you, as Kliff, to make it to the siege that is ongoing and find Oongka.

    I talked to an NPC in a town who asked for my aid in this rebellion, and Kliff agrees. Kliff makes his way to his first destination, a hill with a pedestal and a fallen flag. You use the Thumbstick buttons to aim at the flag, and then you can lift it with stasis powers onto Kliff's back, and he then sets the flag down into the pedestal. After the flag is down, you are asked to help repair an artillery cannon that you can use to destroy the three scout towers right next to you.

    Kliff gets to lead a charge farther down with the men, and you need to race to destroy more scout towers with the newly acquired artillery arrows. If you shoot an artillery arrow, it sends a whistle that indicates to your army to use the cannons in that location. It is helpful for getting rid of the enemy armies and the other scout towers you find in the area.

    Once the scout towers are down and your forces have their morale up, you can lead a charge to the castle where you meet Oongka and the army general together, fighting. You join Oongka and then depart to beat the main enemy general who is waiting for you in the throne room.
