The developer of upcoming open-world action fantasy game Crimson Desert has responded to reports indicating it had turned down an offer of PlayStation 5 exclusivity from Sony. Alleged details coming out of South Korean developer Pearl Abyss’ investor relations session dated September 26, reported on by a South Korean financial blogger who subsequently translated their article into English, deleted that translation, then published a retraction, included discussions with Sony about the potential for an exclusive publishing partnership, similar to that seen with Shift Up’s Stellar Blade. Pearl Abyss reportedly said that if it had accepted Sony’s offer, which allegedly included Sony's “marketing power and various unique incentives,” Crimson Desert would have been exclusive to PS5 for a year, with no release on Xbox and with PC distribution rights also belonging to Sony. However, Pearl Abyss reportedly turned the offer down after running the numbers on expected sales and the revenue share structure it would have had in place with Sony, instead opting to self-publish. Pearl Abyss allegedly determined that it would be better off taking a ******* piece of the revenue pie by self-publishing Crimson Desert, than it would be had it partnered with Sony to share revenue with the PlayStation maker. Pearl Abyss is best known for the long-running multi-platform MMORPG ****** Desert Online, which it already self-publishes across PC and console. The single-player Crimson Desert is set for release at some point in 2025 simultaneously on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X and S. In a statement issued to Eurogamer, Pearl Abyss responded to the reports in vague terms, acknowledging discussions with publishing partners had taken place but failing to address this alleged Sony exclusivity deal offer directly. "In our last quarter earnings call, which is publicly available, we revealed that we would publish Crimson Desert independently,” Pearl Abyss said. “We of course honor and appreciate our business partners who we are constantly in touch with about our progress and plans, and we are discussing various forms of collaboration with them. "Additionally, we have not announced any release date yet, so any articles about the topic are only speculation at this point. We look forward to showcasing a playable Crimson Desert build to media this week in Paris and to the public at G-Star in November." Both Sony and Microsoft are on the hunt for video games coming out of South Korea and China after a number of hits from developers based in those countries. Genshin Impact, from HoYoverse, has proved a massive success on PlayStation (it launches on Xbox next month), and, more recently, Game Science’s ****** Myth: Wukong broke sales records after it launched on PC and PS5. Microsoft has gone on the record to insist ****** Myth: Wukong's delay on Xbox has nothing to do with “platform limitations,” suggesting a deal with Sony has blocked the game’s launch on its consoles for now. Meanwhile, Microsoft has partnered with Leenzee Games' Wuchang: Fallen Feathers to bring the promising Soulslike to Xbox Series X and S as a day-one Game Pass launch.

Life simulation fans will be pleased to hear that Inzoi, The Sims competitor from PUBG company Krafton, is still set to launch in Early Access in 2024 despite the year winding down. Game director Hyungjun Kim told PC Gamer that Inzoi is still on track for an Early Access release on PC this year despite no official announcement coming from Krafton. Inzoi is "a life simulation game where players become gods within the game, allowing them to change everything as they wish and experience endless new stories in various forms of life." This was enough to capture the attention of disgruntled The Sims fans, with many claiming they'll switch to Inzoi for good once it's fully released. Krafton has plans to support Inzoi for the next 20 years too, according to Kim, as he has many improvements in mind. "I think it has a lot of improvements that can be made. For instance, we need more cities," he said. "We want to create as many cities as possible to help people experience different cultures and different countries, and I want people to have urges to create things to be able to create everything they want. I want maybe other games to be inside our game, and actually to function. And I want to put in as many features as possible that creators could use." A console release is planned too. Krafton announced Inzoi in November 2023 and the release of a character creator in August indicates development is progressing. The Sims fans were enticed by the teaser and used it to create all sorts of real and fictional people such as Taylor Swift and Harry Potter. In our preview if Inzoi, IGN said: "The game’s world is extremely beautiful but somewhat empty in motion, permeated by a lack of grounding lore." Ryan Dinsdale is an IGN freelance reporter. He'll talk about The Witcher all day. View the full article
