Crimson Desert will not feature any microtransactions

Just before its launch on March 19, we've learned a little more about the content included in Crimson Desert. In particular, we have learned that the open-world action-adventure game will have a single difficulty mode.

Now, Will Power, Director of Marketing and Public Relations at Pearl Abyss, has clarified the situation regarding microtransactions. Quite simply, since Crimson Desert is a premium game sold for €70, no microtransactions will be included through a "cosmetic store".

"This is made to be a premium experience that you buy, and you enjoy the world and not something for microtransactions. This is a premium experience, that is the transaction, full stop."
