From there, we see snippets of several new gameplay mechanics. As rumored, Kliff can swim and explore underwater courtesy of a new diving suit. He even has a little pack for faster traveling, or can just hang off of a shark (which could very well be a new pet). If that wasn’t enough, it seems players get their own ship to sail.

There’s also proper base-building with the Greymanes constructing a castle and being assigned to different tasks, including cooking. It wouldn’t be an expansion without some new bosses, and whether it’s humans engaging in hand-to-hand combat or a giant, laser-toting mechanical crab, you’re gonna have your hands full.

Stay tuned for more details on Crimson Desert: Charting the Unknown in the coming weeks before it arrives on Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC. You can also check out our impressions of the Enhanced update, which drastically improves the base game’s story, adds new skills for Kliff (including water striding), and more.
