Korean publisher/developer Pearl Abyss shared new boss battle gameplay footage for Crimson Desert at Gamescom 2024.

The prequel MMORPG game to Black Desert Online will be playable for the first time at the Cologne, Germany expo that runs from August 21st through the 25th.

Here’s a blurb on the new footage and the game, plus the new gameplay:

The threats of Pywel must be faced.

Watch Crimson Desert’s boss battle gameplay footage featuring one of these threats – White Horn, the mountain spirit born from the blizzards of the White Mountains. A figure inspiring both fear and admiration, those caught trekking through his realm soon discover that the only thing more bone-chilling than the mountain cold is the wrath of White Horn himself.
