Crimson Desert updates: start here

The current major update is Patch 2.00.00, also called Crimson Desert Enhanced.

Pearl Abyss reports 17 patches since launch, plus more than 20 added features and content additions. This page is a short index of changes players are likely to notice.

Latest: Patch 2.00.00

Patch 2.00.00 adds story scenes, five new voice-over languages, and Arabic interface and subtitle support.

It also changes skill progression. Abyss Link lets other playable characters receive skill-learning resources when one character spends Abyss Artifacts. Existing skill progress resets once after the update, and the spent resources are refunded.

The patch adds eight skills for Kliff and a carry-over option for certain resources after all main quests are complete.
