  "account": "Pearl Abyss, the developer behind Crimson Desert, has announced a two-week delay for Charting the Unknown, the game's first post-launch add-on. Originally scheduled for release on October 15th, the DLC will now be available on October 29th. The developer explained that the delay is necessary to ensure a more polished and stable gameplay experience. Charting the Unknown promises new adventures in the world of Pywel, introducing players to new destinations, such as ocean exploration via ships and underwater adventures. The add-on features new content, including an upgraded house-building mechanic, the ability to manage and rent facilities for profit, and a system to strengthen bonds with non-player characters. Although the delay is disappointing, the developer assures fans that the extra time will allow for further refinement and the best possible experience. Charting the Unknown costs £19.99/$24.99 and is available for all versions of the game, except the Mac App Store version.",
