Pearl Abyss Rejects PS5 Exclusivity Deal for Crimson Desert, Opting for Independent Publishing
Reports indicate that Pearl Abyss, the developer behind the anticipated action-adventure game Crimson Desert, has declined a PlayStation exclusivity deal with Sony.
Pearl Abyss remains committed to self-publishing Crimson Desert. In a statement to Eurogamer, the developer confirmed its independent publishing plans, previously announced during a quarterly earnings call. While acknowledging and appreciating its business partners, Pearl Abyss emphasized its ongoing discussions regarding various collaborative opportunities.
A playable Crimson Desert build will be showcased to media this week in Paris and to the public at G-Star in November. The developer clarified that no official release date has been set, dismissing any articles suggesting otherwise as speculation.
September investor meetings revealed Sony's attempt to secure PS5 exclusivity for Crimson Desert, potentially excluding Xbox for a period. However, Pearl Abyss chose self-publishing, believing it to be the more profitable strategy.
While the final platform lineup and release date remain unannounced, a PC, PlayStation, and Xbox launch is anticipated around Q2 2025.
