The arrival of another major Crimson desert update is about to drop, and developer Pearl Abyss teased some of the new features coming in the patch, including a new extraction feature. From Crimson Desert Launched in March, Pearl Abyss has continued to be busy keeping the game updated and fixing bugs while adding new features and rolling out more quality of life improvements.
Needless to say, the rapid fire support has proven to be a big hit with players, with this positive word of mouth likely helping to help sell the game as well. What may be surprising is that all these updates and content additions have been done without reservation Crimson Desert plan after launch, a fact that Pearl Abyss said was intentional. Instead of preconceived notions of what players want or sticking to specific data, Pearl Abyss instead chose to listen to players through feedback as well as how they played the game.

Crimson Desert is revealing new features in the next update
While fans wait for the next big content reveal, Pearl Abyss is preparing another big update Crimson desert. In a new tweet, the studio shared some new information and confirmed that the update will arrive in the “next few days”. As for what it will contain, the tweet indicated that it is adding new special mounts to the game to go alongside the ones players can already get, such as the Polar Bear or the Icicle Edge Alpine Ibex.

But that's not all for players, as Pearl Abyss has also teased a special extraction feature that will launch as part of this update as well, although it's not related or referenced to the popular game genre in any way. While details are a bit light, the tweet hinted that the feature will allow players to recover materials used during the upgrade and upgrade process in Crimson desert. Unfortunately, it is not yet known how this works or what kind of refund players can expect during this process.
At the time of writing, not even a week has passed since the last major update for the Crimson desert launched with several major new content additions. Again in response to player feedback, the May 1st update added Rematch and Re-blockade options. The former is essentially a way for players to re-challenge defeated bosses, either as they were at the time or with the Resonate option, which moves the enemy up to the player's level. Any consumables used during the Rematch are also returned after the battle, but for this launch version, players will not be able to earn loot, although Pearl Abyss is set to change that.

Additionally, Re-blockade was added to address an issue that endgame players were encountering where they cleared most of the map, preventing enemies from respawning. Obviously, without enemies to fight, it was nearly impossible for players to complete challenges, get loot, and continue to evolve their characters. With Re-blockade, players now have options to deal with this situation, leaving it as it is, or respawning enemies either slowly or more often. At the time of the update, only 23 fortresses and quarries were included, but Pearl Abyss has confirmed that it intends to expand the feature further.
