THE FUSE

Love it or hate it, Crimson Desert launched in March with no small number of issues and unfortunate points of unnecessary friction. Pearl Abyss has been rapidly patching the game to address every pain point in the weeks since. The latest wave of improvements comes by way of Thursday’s 1.04 patch, which adds new difficulty modes and tons of more intricate changes. Players are once again impressed with the range of tweaks. “They just added so much random sh*t, I love it,” one wrote in response to the patch notes.
