Crimson Desert Player Takes a Dragon Ride Out of Bounds, Discovers Previously Unseen Parts of Pywel

An intrepid Crimson Desert subordinate has ventured acold retired of bounds and discovered a deserted but afloat functional village. No-one knows what the colony is for, but immoderate are speculating it whitethorn beryllium chopped content, oregon adjacent hint astatine a determination for DLC.

Pearl Abyss’ smash deed single-player unfastened satellite crippled has an tremendous representation to explore, and for immoderate who person enactment hundreds of hours into it already, that travel is over. But for a Crimson Desert subordinate known arsenic Riskbreaker, that was not enough.

As shown successful a clip connected the Crimson Desert subreddit, below, Riskbreaker headed northbound connected the backmost of a dragon and went retired of bounds. Far northbound of Pailune, they found, is simply a afloat functional, snow-drenched village.

Riskbreaker visited the colony a fewer times to get a decent look around, utilizing Photo Mode to intermission clip and determination the camera about. The colony is deserted, but determination are objects, galore of which you’d find successful a mean Crimson Desert village. For example, determination is simply a announcement committee wherever you’d usually prime up bounties. There are adjacent items and chests. Riskbreaker speculates this colony was meant to marque it into the last crippled but was cut.

This colony is far, acold northbound of Pailune, truthful you bash request a dragon — connected a timer of its ain — to get there. Riskbreaker said it takes astir 2 and a fractional minutes arsenic the crow — oregon dragon — flies to scope the village. The mean retired of bounds timer kicks in, of course, but Riskbreaker was capable to find what they telephone “reset points” on the way that for immoderate crushed stopped and started the timer, enabling a travel farther than you’d expect. Riskbreaker elaborate the travel successful a YouTube video.

Frustratingly, determination doesn’t look to beryllium 1 of Riskbreaker's reset points adjacent the village, truthful by the clip they land, determination are lone a fistful of seconds near connected the retired of bounds timer to explore. The colony looks adjacent to finished, though determination are a fewer objects floating around. And, of course, determination are nary NPCs.

The magnitude of proceedings and mistake it volition person taken to find this colony is immense, fixed the retired of bounds timer that restricts mean exploration. It turns retired determination are a fig of points of interest, including forts, camps, and watchtowers, retired of the mean bounds of Pywel, but this colony is of astir involvement due to the fact that of however acold distant it is, and however tricky it is to reach. From what I tin tell, this is the archetypal clip it has been reached, oregon astatine least, the archetypal clip its find has surfaced wrong the Crimson Desert community.

Perhaps the astir awesome infinitesimal successful the video is erstwhile Riskbreaker leaps disconnected their dragon and flies done the aerial to a location up connected a hill, conscionable a tad farther northbound of the village. There is simply a shrine. What could it person been for? It’s astir intolerable to find retired more, fixed determination are lone a fewer seconds near by the clip they land.

As the assemblage fusses implicit Riskbreaker's mysterious village, different retired of bounds oddity has emerged. There is simply a question mark, indicating… thing of interest, that’s popping up acold retired of bounds to the east. This has puzzled players who person recovered the question people connected their in-game maps. Riskbreaker suggests this is apt a bug, arsenic the eastbound broadside of the godforsaken is the extremity of the continent, and there's thing further to the east, lone water.

Still, there’s an full inaccessible named portion of the map, called Sunbaked Peaks, to the eastbound of Varnia. Could it beryllium the spot for DLC?

“Most of the unused onshore is really connected the westbound and northbound sides of the map, truthful I'd presume that's wherever a imaginable DLC would instrumentality place,” countered Riskbreaker, bringing their acquisition exploring the crippled to bear. Sunbaked Peak is lone a “small hold of the desert, and if you spell astir it, there's lone a fort connected the broadside facing Varnia, and different 1 connected the northbound broadside of the island, portion the remainder is conscionable rocks and a fewer trees.” So possibly this hidden colony is so a hint to DLC.

But volition Crimson Desert get DLC? In March, aft the game’s income occurrence had go evident but sentiment was inactive mixed, Pearl Abyss CEO Heo Jin-young said updates were the focus. “While it is bully to spot income driven by enlargement packs, I judge determination are games that make gross by expanding income of the basal crippled arsenic contented expands,” helium said. “I privation to marque strategical decisions that guarantee the basal crippled of Crimson Desert sells well.”

Given Crimson Desert has present sold implicit 5 cardinal copies — capable to spark a $3,400 bonus for each unit — possibly DLC is inevitable.
