Red Desert was originally positioned as an open world massively multiplayer online role-playing game, but during development, Pearl Abyss Studio adjusted the direction and changed it to a single player.
The most core feature of "Red Desert" lies in its combat system.This game focuses more on action experience and is also more "friendly" than "Dark Souls" and "Eldon's Ring".This is undoubtedly good news for those who don’t want to play “soul-like” replica works again.
What is really exciting is that "Red Desert" is gradually growing into a masterpiece.The recent preview reviews have improved in all aspects, and all players who have actually experienced it are impressed by its combat system.If the extra time helps developers make the game better, it's all worth it.
It is worth noting that the optimization performance of the PC version is excellent.Players who have tried it said they did not encounter any lag problems.In addition, the developers have added some cool technical features.
For example, the game uses FFT ocean simulation and shallow water simulation technology to achieve realistic water effects, which can present natural waves, water flow and ripples.The game will also support ray tracing effects, and as can be seen from recent videos, we will most likely experience ray tracing global lighting (RTGI) and ray tracing shadows (RT shadows).
"Red Desert" will also be equipped with volumetric fog effect with fluid simulation, as well as GPU-based fabric and hair simulation technology.Players can interact with vegetation and grass, and there will be some cool wind effects in the game.
Pearl Abyss plans to launch "Red Desert" in the first quarter of 2026.The game will support DLSS 4 technology and multi-frame generation function when it is first released.
