Pearl Abyss boss admits the studio "could have done a better job" with Crimson Desert's totally underwhelming story
Though there are things to love in Crimson Desert if you’re open to hobbies like tower ogling or ghost train riding, the mammoth action adventure blob’s story is arguably its biggest weakness. Well, aside from those AI paintings which were left in it on release. Developers Pearl Abyss, currently in the midst of trying to patch up a lot of the other holes players and critics have pointed out, have now made clear they’re aware that their tale of people witrh grey manes fighting evil bears isn’t the best.
Creative Assembly blew everyone’s minds at the end of last year, when it announced a slew of games that fans had long dreamt of.

Crimson Desert developer Pearl Abyss is reportedly looking into developing a Nintendo Switch 2 version of the open-world game.Crimson Desert is definitely one of the biggest games of 2026. Not only was it one of the most anticipated games before its release, but the game sold three million copies in five days post-launch. And even with “Mixed” Steam reviews at first, players seem to have taken to it, with that rating becoming a Very Positive in the days following. However, its also one of the biggest games of 2026 in the sense of ‘good lord there’s a whole lotta video…
In spreading itself across five cities, Stranger than Heaven might not lean as heavily on one of Like A Dragon's key strengths as I expected
As hinted at by previous peeks at it, which were set in 1915 and 1943, Like A Dragon devs RGG Studio are jumping around in time with their upcoming historical brawler Stranger than Heaven. They’ve confirmed via a fresh trailer that it’s set in five different decades and, arguably more surprisingly, five different Japanese cities.

Head of business strategy Ted ‘Loki’ Murphy is back with the Terraria State of the Game for March 2026, and he’s here to talk about build balance and a new trick for Gem Staves. The most recent Terraria update mostly tackled bugs, exploits, and localization,…

Life is Strange: Reunion review-in-progress: "Bogged down in past drama, I'm struggling to revel in the joy of Chloe and rewind's return"
Why you can trust GamesRadar+ Our experts review games, movies and tech over countless hours, so you can choose the best for you. Find out more about our reviews policy. Life is Strange: Reunion pitches itself as the “finale” of Max and Chloe’s saga, which feels like an odd concept considering the two only starred in one single game, the first Life is Strange back in 2015. Only about 4 hours into this narrative adventure, I can almost hear the game creaking and bending to fit that term, assuring me that, no, really, all the events of Life is Strange,…
