Crimson Desert developer Pearl Abyss has certainly been busy since the massive open-world game launched back in March. Despite launching to mixed reviews, Crimson Desert has carved out a mighty reputation thanks to the regular release of big new content updates and improvements.

Months after making its debut for PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC, Crimson Desert is back with another major update, this time adding new features that make the game feel even more like iconic open-world RPG Skyrim. That’s because the new update gives players lots of items to decorate the inside and outside of their homes, and new crafting stations.

The new crafting tools include a Workstation and a Loom, which can be found on places like Greymane Camp, Timberham Sawmill and Hernand Tailor’s Shop.

New items for the inside and outside of the house include four tools, ten Sotdaes, seven fountains, six wells, multiple wells, pet furnitures, a music box, hanging planters and lots more.

There are also multiple improvements, including more controller updates, as well as graphics upgrades and more.

One massive quality of life upgrade can be found when attempting a boss battle for a second time.

Players will be happy to hear that settings changed during the previous attempt are now maintained. This includes any knowledge obtained through observation, plus selected elements and assigned items.

You can check out the full list of patch notes below.
