Crimson Desert is coming out in March, and we’ve just found out that there are more playable characters than we thought.
In all the trailers we’ve seen so far, there was only one playable character in Crimson Desert. However, a newly released trailer shows that there are apparently more characters. In the new trailer, we not only see Pywel, the world we’re exploring, but also two new playable characters. They accompany the warrior Kliff on his adventure through the world. One of the other two characters is an orc with gray hair who wields a heavy two-handed axe. A cannon is also part of his repertoire. Accordingly, his attacks are heavy and slow, but they throw enemies far back.
The second new character is a woman who wields a long two-handed sword and uses a pistol when necessary. Her fighting style differs significantly from Kliff’s and focuses more on range. The two new playable characters are therefore very different from Kliff, who goes into battle with a sword and shield. This is intended to provide more variety.
Auch, wenn die noch namenlosen neuen Charaktere spielbar sein sollen, liegt der Fokus der Geschichte dennoch auf Kliff. Dennoch sollen die beiden den Kontinent Pywel wohl frei erkunden und auch eigenständig Quests erledigen können. Dadurch sind sie nicht nur reines Beiwerk für die Geschichte. Neue Details gibt es außerdem zur Geschichte, so sehen wir verschiedene Regionen der Welt, politische Spannungen und welche Rolle die Fraktion von Kliff, die Graumähnen, spielen. Im Fokus der Handlung steht der “Abyss”, der ein Ungleichgewicht in die Welt bringt und sie so ins Chaos stürzt.
