Pirat_Nation 🔴(@Pirat_Nation):Pearl Abyss decided to use its own BlackSpace Engine for Crimson Desert instead of Unreal Engine 5. The studio says having its own engine gives devs more control over the tech and allows them to add or change features without waiting for another company. BlackSpace was built to support the game’s large open world, graphics, and different platforms, Pearl Abyss also plans to use the engine for future projects, including FPS and TPS games. Pearl Abyss says relying on Unreal Engine 5 could have meant waiting for Epic Games to add specific features. With BlackSpace, the studio can make changes directly and work according to its own development schedule.
