Crimson Desert maker Pearl Abyss is looking into DLC and other ways to grow the open-world action game. “Crimson Desert will continue to focus on enhancing user satisfaction and driving new sales through continuous updates while expanding its market presence through platform expansion. In addition, we are currently exploring various ways to broaden the game to the next level, including DLC, and we will share the details once the concrete plans are set.” This is a change from what they said in March 2026, when CEO Heo Jin-young said there were no plans yet for paid DLC and the focus was on free updates to sell more copies of the main game. This comes after the game had a strong launch that helped Pearl Abyss earn a record 180 million dollars in one quarter
