Crimson Desert is shaping up to be a titan in the world of video games, with an epic size that promises a duration of between 50 and 80 hours for the most exploratory players. The game has been recognized for its ambitious scale, leading many to question whether these estimates will be enough to encompass all the richness that its vast universe will offer.

For those who are willing to put in many hours

Alec Newman, known for his role as Adam Smasher in Cyberpunk 2077, brings the protagonist Kliff to life and has been working on this character since 2021. In interviews, Newman has shared that at first he didn’t know Kliff was the central character of the game, stating that he has taken on this role for longer than any other in his career. This commitment suggests that there is a significant and deep background behind Kliff, a character who starts off as cynical, but whose personal evolution will unfold throughout the game.

Newman’s personal inspiration for bringing Kliff to life comes from his stepfather, Graham Fleck, who passed away in 2022. The actor has mentioned that his Scottish heritage has also influenced the character’s development, which could add a unique touch to the game’s narrative.

Additionally, Crimson Desert has drawn attention for its business model, as Epic Games has confirmed that there will be no microtransactions in the game, making it a premium experience. This decision highlights the developers’ commitmentto providing a complete and uninterrupted product to players.

On the other hand, some critics have suggested that Crimson Desert might look too much like Red Dead Redemption 2, a fact that could affect the public’s perception of the game. Despite this, expectations remain extremely high, and its release will be a key moment in the video game calendar.
