Pearl Abyss goes easy on us critics for our Crimson Desert reviews: 'They had to play the build that is not the exact same version of the launched game'

Pearl Abyss made adjustments to the Crimson Desert game for reviewer access, as it is not the exact version that was launched. The game boasts various updates such as a Sims-style house building and customization feature, 133 new trading posts, and an economy overhaul through supply and demand. Additionally, there are 20 new small animal types, a shotgun, pinball, birdwatching, and a pond for fishkeeping, to name a few additions.

These enhancements are on top of existing game elements like camp management, minigames, pet loyalty and collection, transmog, market manipulation and banking, cooking, fishing, mount collecting, and bounties.
