Since "Red Desert" was first released in 2019, players have experienced a long wait. Now this open-world action game has finally taken shape and is about to meet players.The IGN First game of this month (October) is "Red Desert". Following the previously released 12-minute demo at the beginning of this month, IGN has released a 9-minute live game, this time focusing on the mechanical dragon boss of "Red Desert".
According to IGN, this time "Red Desert" shows a new main mission, which will bring us face to face with one of the most powerful enemies in the campaign: the mechanical dragon "Golden Star".
In the game "Red Desert", the player plays Kliff, the leader of the "Grey Mane Mercenary Group".But now, he has nothing to lead.In the prologue of "Red Desert", the Gray Mane Regiment was attacked by the old enemy "Black Bear Regiment". This attack severely damaged the strength of the entire mercenary group and caused it to collapse.Cliff embarks on a journey alone, vowing to find his lost companions, rebuild the Graymanes, and avenge the enemies who destroyed it.
The mission takes Cliff on a journey across the continent of Piwel, a vast continent made up of countless regions, including the eponymous "Red Desert."During his exploration, he discovers several ancient artifacts of great power—powers that are being used to cause destruction instead of good.So Cliff decided to intervene, but he didn't expect that this would make him fall into a more grand whirlpool of fate.
In the mission "Master of the Oblivion," which IGN showed today, Cliff becomes involved in the affairs of a scientific genius named Marnie.Players who are familiar with "Black Desert" may find the name "Mani" familiar.Although the person Cliff met was not the same person, the two were like mirror images - they were both talented scientists who could use unconventional means to make the "impossible" possible.
Part of the origins of Red Desert’s steampunk aesthetic can be seen in Mani’s secluded cliff base.His bizarre devices show that his technology far exceeds the level of the predominantly medieval society on the continent of Piver.
This quest will take Cliff on a journey along the "Ocean" coast of the continent of Piver, up Mount Benus, and deep into Mani's "Masterium" - where an unexpected enemy force awaits him.At the top of the castle, Cliff must compete with the giant "Venus".
"Red Desert" will be released on March 20, 2026, on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S platforms, supporting Chinese dubbing.
