When exactly will Crimson Desert be released in France?
And for once, it is quite important to be interested in this question since Crimson Desert don’t do like the others. Usually, games are released regularly at midnight or at 6 p.m. in the case of titles that have multiplayer servers.
Pearl Abyss did not want to respect this tradition and decided to do things her own way. His game will come out well March 19 here in France, but almost March 20 in fact, since Crimson Desert will only be accessible from 11 p.m. Paris time on that date. An unusual schedule to say the least, which makes you wait a few more hours while promising a nice sleepless night afterwards for the most daring among you (and we know there will be some).
Note also that even if, by some miracle, you manage to obtain a physical version in advance, you will simply not be able to access the game, as it requires a first and only Internet connection to download its day one patch.
Since the game is truly huge, you may want to get a head start by pre-downloading the game. If you pre-ordered the digital edition of the game, this will indeed be possible, since pre-download of Crimson Desert will be available from March 17 at 11 p.m.. Two whole days to help you download this behemoth, which takes no less than 150 GB, if we are to believe the PC configurations shared by Pearl Abyss. So start making some space on your machines.
Crimson Desert will be available on PC via Steam, Mac, PS5 and Xbox Series. We are also meeting for our test, which will arrive in the coming week, as well as for numerous guides on Crimson Desert which will be released after March 19.
