If you know GAMINGbible, then you know we like Skyrim. I can’t exactly tell if it’s the lore, the world, the adventuring, or Lydia’s delightful personality, but we just keep going back for more. And with The Elder Scrolls VI a way off yet, we’re keeping an eye on Crimson Desert as our next big dose of fantasy RPGing. So this leaked footage is absolutely what the doctor ordered and let me tell you, it’s stunning.
As spotted by Dark Side of Gaming, footage from the long-awaited Crimson Desert seems to have been leaked by YouTube channel Guti89. The footage doesn’t give us everything that we’ll see at launch, of course, the game has already been delayed into 2022 so work is still ongoing. However, what we do see in this snippet of the world, is gorgeous. We’re already a little bit in love with it.
The footage seems to be a bit of a demo for environments. The main character the player is controlling is placed in several different biomes, mostly looking at the ground. This way you can see how the player is moving is actually affecting the floor around them - neat. For example, you can see that the golden leaves on the ground are reacting to footsteps and air displacement. A really small yet satisfying detail.
It may just be me but it reminds me a little of the Ghost of Tsushima environments, which is a compliment I assure you. There is no solid release date for Crimsons Desert after it was delayed out of 2021 but we should hopefully be hearing more about the game in the new year at least.
