Pearl Abyss has just released a new Crimson Desert patch containing improvements to the game’s sometimes wonky controls, faster load times, new mounts, and replacements for some of the AI-generated assets that were left in the RPG supposedly by accident.
For context, players very quickly noticed that some in-game paintings in Crimson Desert’s huge world looked, well, questionable at best. More than a few pieces of art had all the hallmarks of something that was AI-generated, with one particularly nightmarish painting fusing humans and horses together in a way that would make Frankenstein’s monster shudder.

Crimson Desert players have since spotted a number of obvious changes. Pieces that were previously non-descript slabs of slop now seem actually painterly and make some amount of real world sense, like the example above.
The new patch that’s already out on Steam, Xbox, and PS5 has also introduced five summonable mounts that I won’t list here due to potentially spoilery reasons, as well as decreased loading times for fast travel and “some more changes to controls as part of our ongoing efforts to improve the game’s controls.” That includes faster movement speed for both the player character and your mounts.
As Crimson Desert becomes the latest game to see AI art slip through the cracks, Mewgenics co-creator says concept art is “one of the worst” places to use it: “That’s where you want to be the most creative”
