Crimson Desert's comb✱at system is going to look✨ a bit different from Black Desert, as it's been revealed you'll be able to use "professional wrestling moves" to take down your foes. The news was announced by Daeil Kim, Executive Producer on Crimson Desert, during a .
The trailer begins by discussing the world of Crimson Desert and the technological advances it makes over Black Desert. Kim wanted players to see mountains and rolling hills off in the distance – something not currently possible in Black Desert due to a limited draw-distance. From there, the footage s🌠hifts into combat, where Kim reveals a few of its inspirations.
"This scene shows Macdꩵuff breaking through an enemy's guard and moving straight into a finishing attack," said Kim. "We wanted to include professional wrestling moves in the game and ended up including moves like the ones you see here." The footage in question comes at the 3:05 mark, where Macduff grabs his oppon🐟ent around the neck and drives them into the ground – or, if you're a WWE fan, it's Matt Hardy's Twist of Fate.
Taekwondo was a big inspiration🅺 for the team as well, so expect to see plenty of spinning kicks make an appearance during combat. It's also possible to disarm enemies in Crimson Desert, leaving them without a way to attack you. Macduff can even pick up their dropped weapons and use it against them – a huge shift from Black Desert.
The entire commentary is fullꦯ of insightful facts about the upcoming game. There's even a se♌cond trailer, where other designers on the team talk about Crimson Desert and the ideas behind different mechanics. You can find the second trailer .
Much of Crimson Desert is still shrouded in mystery, but these two clips go a long way towards filling in the blanks. Most notably, multiplayer components are conspicuously absent from both𒊎 trailers – focusing instead on Macduff and his crew of mercenaries.
Crimson Desert is scheduled to launcꦅh in Winter 2021.
