The share prices of Pearl Abyss, the studio behind Crimson Desert, have stabilized following sales surpassing three million
Pearl Abyss, the studio behind Crimson Desert, has seen its stock prices stabilize after confirming that three million copies of the action-adventure title have been sold.
The lifting of the review embargo last week resulted in mixed reviews, causing a significant drop in share prices by 27.4% as reported.
Since the game's release, the company has acted swiftly in addressing feedback by delivering three updates, with the latest patch being released yesterday, March 24.
Dr. Serkan Toto, a consultant in the video game sector, noted that this, along with the announcement of reaching a major sales milestone, has bolstered investor confidence. The result was a near-total recovery of the stock's previous losses, rising 27.8% shortly after the sales figures were shared, as noted by Eurogamer.
Crimson Desert debuted on March 19 and received divided opinions from critics. The critical consensus highlighted praise for the combat mechanics, while others criticized the story and complexity of gameplay.
Following the discovery of "unintentional" AI-generated artwork in the game, Pearl Abyss announced last week that it will carry out a thorough audit of the in-game assets.
