Pearl Abyss has addressed the recent changes to Damiane’s Elegant Carmine Leather Armor in Crimson Desert. The update added extra coverage such as shorts or spats, which many players said it was censorship. According to the developer, the modification was unintentional and occurred while fixing clipping issues. They have confirmed the original appearance will be restored in the upcoming patch.

Pearl Abyss marketing director Will Powers has explained why Crimson Desert gets big updates almost every week. These updates change game systems, add helpful new features, and bring fresh content based on player feedback. In a recent interview, Powers said this fast update style is normal for Pearl Abyss because they make MMO games like Black Desert Online. He stated: “That is not normal in the industry. That is normal here.” The team does not use a fixed plan with set dates and instead makes quick changes right away based on player feedback, even though Crimson Desert is a single-player game set in a big open world with action and fighting. This is clearly working because the game has sold over 5 million copies with a solod player base on Steam, and its Steam reviews have reached Very Positive
