What Happened
Pearl Abyss released the Crimson Desert 1.07.00 update, which is available on Steam (PC and Mac), PlayStation, Xbox, and the Epic Games Store. An update for Mac App Store users is currently in-progress. The update introduces new content, including more bosses to the existing rematch system, and a new unarmed combat skill-tree for the character Damiane was added. Characters Damiane and Oongka both received an 'Aerial Stab' ability, and Kliff received a 'Blinding Flash Finisher' for unarmed combat. The update also added additional wolf and bear types as registerable mounts, added reins for certain mounts, and increased the number of animals in the world that can be used as mounts.
The patch includes extensive fixes for bugs affecting quests, equipment, mounts, and combat. Specific issues resolved include problems with quests, visual and equipment display glitches, mount summoning and selling, and combat animation and hit detection. General movement animation for Damiane while unarmed was improved, and most unarmed attacks and skills were improved to successfully hit enemies lying on the ground. Localisation errors were fixed and quality was improved across all languages.
Why this Matters to You
If you are playing Crimson Desert, this update directly enhances your experience by adding more end-game content through the expanded boss rematch system and providing new combat options with the unarmed skill-tree. The extensive list of bug fixes may resolve progression blockers or visual glitches you have encountered, smoothing out gameplay. The addition of new mount types and the increase in mountable animals could offer you more variety in exploration and travel.
What's Next
The update for Mac App Store users is still in-progress and may be released soon. Following the game's strong sales performance, Pearl Abyss has suggested that Crimson Desert DLC may be in development, which could mean more substantial content updates are likely to follow in the future.
