Pearl Abyss and Plaion have officially opened pre-orders for Crimson Desert, their upcoming open-world action-adventure RPG, launching March 19, 2026 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. The game will be available in Standard, Deluxe, and Collector’s Editions, both physically and digitally — and in a refreshing move for console gamers, the Collector’s Edition will include an actual physical disc.
In an era where most premium editions only offer digital codes, the inclusion of a disc is a welcome throwback and a collector’s dream. It’s a meaningful gesture for fans who value permanence, preservation, and the tactile experience of owning their games.
The Collector’s Edition, priced at $279.99, is packed with high-end collectibles: a 17” diorama of protagonist Kliff and Golden Star, a woven fabric map of Pywel, a Greymane Brooch Pin, SteelBook case, and more. It also includes both the Ultimate and Deluxe DLC packs, along with pre-order bonuses like the Khaled Shield and PS5-exclusive Grotevant Plate Set.
Crimson Desert follows Kliff’s journey across the war-torn continent of Pywel, rebuilding the fallen Greymane clan and battling monstrous foes in a visually stunning world. With gameplay inspired by fighting games and a rich narrative, it’s shaping up to be one of 2026’s most anticipated titles.
Pre-orders are live now at major retailers. Whether you’re in it for the loot, the lore, or the legacy — this is one edition worth holding onto.
