Pearl Abyss has simply launched a brand new patch for Crimson Desert, one that isn’t solely bodily large, 37 GB on Steam primarily as a consequence of new visible constancy additions, but additionally large in scope, as in, probably the most issues I’ve seen added in a single patch since launch.

I’m undecided somebody is even going to work with this.

One factor I’m not seeing right here is the “why.” At least in these patch notes, there may be nothing about further rewards or XP acquire or something from enjoying on laborious mode, as chances are you’ll simply be doing it for its personal sake.
