Crimson Desert Channels The Sims With Its Chartering The Unknown Expansion

The useful part

Revealed during today's State of Play presentation, Pearl Abyss has confirmed that Crimson Desert 's first major expansion will be launching in October. If the reveal trailer is any indication, Crimson Desert could soon be a life sim that gives The Sims a run for its money. In Chartering the Unknown, players can expect underwater combat in which you pilot submarines, ride sharks, and use a jetpack to propel yourself through the beautiful ocean blue.

How it works

• That willingness to try so many things, regardless of how they turn out, is part of what makes Crimson Desert so charming.
• Players can likely expect a new region dominated by a huge body of water, and a city in which abused workers are beginning to rebel against their leaders.
• In classic Crimson Desert fashion, it looks absolutely ridiculous, with no rhyme or reason to its mechanical intentions or oddball art design.

Details worth keeping

Other unexpected additions coming to the paid expansion include Assassin's Creed -esque naval combat, giant underwater dragons, and a new narrative threat that seemingly revolves around an unexplored location far beyond the Crimson Desert.
