Crimson Desert Enhanced is a free upgrade that's out now and revamps the story, adds new skills and comes with all previously-released updates

Crimson Desert Enhanced, a free upgrade for the popular game, has recently been released and brings about a significant overhaul. This enhancement encompasses all previous updates and the recent 2.00 patch, providing players with a fresh experience. The update introduces new story cutscenes, narrative moments, and a plethora of new skills, making it an exciting addition for existing players.

The developers at Pearl Abyss have put considerable effort into refining the game's skill system. They have added a new resource called Abyss Link, which players can spend to learn new skills. Abyss Links are tied to Abyss Artifacts, and when used, other characters receive Abyss Links to invest in skill progression. Each character maintains its own Abyss Links inventory, enabling diverse builds without affecting each other.

Moreover, players can reset skill progression individually, refunding all previously used Abyss Links.

In addition to the revamped skill system, players can look forward to eight new skills to discover and equip. These new skills unlock after reaching a specific point in the main story, as per the Crimson Desert patch notes. The 2.00 patch is now available on all platforms, except the Mac App Store, where it will be released at a later date. Upon installation, the patch upgrades the game to Enhanced.

To mark the launch of Crimson Desert Enhanced, the game is currently available at a discounted price of 20 percent off. Crimson Desert has proven to be a successful release, selling over 6 million copies in just three months. Pearl Abyss has also hinted at future developments, including a Switch 2 version and potential multiplayer-focused expansions and sequels.
