Crimson Desert goes gold, locked in for March 19 release

Posted on by

Pearl Abyss says Crimson Desert has officially gone gold, and the action RPG is now set to launch on March 19.

The news came via the game’s social channels, where the studio confirmed it hit the “gone gold” milestone, meaning the launch build is finished and ready for manufacturing and distribution.

Crimson Desert has been on a winding road to release, with Pearl Abyss previously pushing the game back after showing it at events and highlighting chunks of gameplay, including boss fights. The current March 19 date was confirmed after a delay announced back in September.

There’s also a cloud angle: Nvidia recently said Crimson Desert is planned to join GeForce NOW, though the announcement didn’t include any additional timing details beyond the game’s broader release window.

  • Status: The game has “gone gold,” signaling the release build is complete.
  • Launch date: March 19.
  • Developer/publisher: Pearl Abyss.
  • Setting: A medieval-inspired world called Pywel, based on the studio’s earlier descriptions.

Pearl Abyss hasn’t shared new platform, pricing, or edition details in this update, but with the game now gold, it’s likely any remaining launch specifics will land closer to March.
