Geoff Keighley Confirms Skyrim-like Open World Epic Crimson Desert for Gamescom 2023

Gamescom 2023 is around the corner. Producer and host Geoff Keighley has already tipped off several details about the event and we are stoked. Gamescom is one of the largest events in the EU, but gamers from all over the world are always on the lookout for more news on new titles at the event. Now, Keighley has revealed more information on X that has fans excited some more.

The host has taken to social media to announce a new open-world game Crimson Desert that’s set to reveal its gameplay at the Gamescom Opening Night Live. The Skyrim-like title from Pearl Abyss is considered to be an epic that players can’t wait to learn more about.

Keighley hints at new gameplay reveal for Crimson Desert

Just yesterday, Keighley mentioned that this year’s Gamescom will be more about updates of announced titles rather than new games being announced at the event. While the reveal did dampen the mood of many players, we aren’t complaining too much since two hours of the show announcing updates for the next year isn’t too bad a proposition either. However, new information has been divulged by Keighley himself that has fans’ attention once again.

Pearl Abyss’ Crimson Desert has made a lot of buzz thanks to its sneak peeks into the gameplay. From what we know, the game will have single-player and multiplayer options. The game’s expansive open-world setting is also expected to be a lot like Skyrim. Bethesda’s Skyrim is still hailed as one of the best open-world titles ever. If Crimson Desert is anything like Skyrim, we only have good feelings about it.

Gamescom has challenges, but devs also benefit from the event

Days back, Keighley revealed that the logistical challenges of hosting a gaming event in Europe are significant but the partnerships ensure that the event is pulled off without any issues. While getting to know about updates for games is something we look forward to. Having at least a couple of announcements as an add-on would not hurt.

All the biggest names in the industry come together at the event to showcase their best and upcoming titles. From Microsoft to Nintendo, every leading game developer studio look forward to the event to mingle with their fans and give away tons of new information on upcoming games.

What will you be looking most forward to at the event? Tell us more in the comments.
