Crimson Desert has long had its optimistic fans - those that play its MMO predecessor, Black Desert Online, for example. But in recent months, it feels like everyone's squeezed aboard the Crimson Desert hype train - its scale, visuals, deep combat offering, and decision to make it a huge, MMORPG-lite single-player game has seen interest snowball. While I've still got my reservations about the overcomplicated control scheme Jamie encountered when he previewed it last year, it seems pretty nailed on to be one of this year's biggest new releases. However, just a week out from launch, some PC players may be disappointed to learn that, on Steam, Crimson Desert will require Denuvo DRM.
