As we're fast approaching the launch of Crimson Desert, the internet is ablaze with rumors and expectations for the game. For every hopeful out there, there is a skeptic ready to crush their dreams. Will Crimson Desert be the next Tears of the Kingdom or Elden Ring? Or perhaps we're going to fall into the Mindseye or Concord bargain bin at launch.
