Crimson Desert adds three difficulty levels

Crimson Desert has rolled out a major update 1.04.00, introducing several notable features. The biggest addition is the implementation of three difficulty levels — Easy, Normal, and Hard, which can now be switched at any time.

The RPG also expands its content with new treasure types, flying pets, and five cat variants, alongside additional features. Players can now take on new quests that reward the “Star Sword” weapon.

On the technical side, the developers improved rendering of distant objects and textures, resulting in better overall visual detail. The full list of changes is available in Russian on the game’s official website.

Crimson Desert launched in March 2026 on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, and currently holds an average critic score of 77.
