Pearl Abyss Goes Easy on Critics Over Crimson Desert Reviews: 'They Had to Play the Build That Is Not the Exact Same Version of the Launched Game'

Pearl Abyss has responded to criticism of Crimson Desert reviews by saying reviewers played a build that was not the exact same version as the launched game. The article notes the game has changed since review, adding 133 new trading posts, supply-and-demand economy overhauls, 20 new types of small animal, a shotgun, pinball, birdwatching, and a pond for keeping fish. These sit on top of existing camp management, minigames, pet loyalty and collection, transmog, market manipulation and banking, cooking, fishing, mount collecting, and bounties.
