The game has already sold 5 million copies worldwide!
There is no doubt that Pearl Abyss’s open-world AAA title, Crimson Desert, has been a huge hit among fans and gamers. This game has already sold more than 5 million copies worldwide so far.
Now, all eyes are set on the potential upcoming DLC expansion for the game, which has been teased many times by developers and Pearl Abyss CEO. However, recently the community has found some hidden discoveries, so let’s check out more details in this article.
A hidden village discovered beyond the map boundaries in Crimson Desert
Recently, a YouTuber has uncovered a detailed village located far north of Pailune. This is located deep within an out-of-bonds region.
This area is very difficult to reach and requires a flying mount to explore. Despite being inaccessible in the normal playthrough, the villagers appear surprisingly complete.
This also includes environmental props, structures, and layouts that are very similar to those found in fully functional settlements in the game.
For now, it lacks NPCs and interactive elements. Players are limited to a short time exploring the area, often with the assistance of camera mode to get an improved view because of strict out-of-bounds timers.
The other buildings that have been found along the road are forts, camps, and shrines, but the village is the most striking discovery in Crimson Desert.

All signs point to Crimson Desert DLC
The findings of this polished area have led many to believe that this village is not a simple leftover. Instead, this could become a part of the upcoming DLC expansion that might introduce a new region for the players.
There is a chance that this area might have been cut during the development stage; however, it looks quite finished and polished for leftover content.
To further the conjecture, another player stated that they spotted a glitched point-of-interest marker in the eastern area of Varnia. This is the Sunbaked Peaks, which lies outside the current playable map.
The appearance of this marking suggests that there is another area of possible expansion, which means that Pearl Abyss does not plan just one update but a bunch of them.
Conclusion
Since the launch of Crimson Desert, it has managed to maintain a good player count on all platforms. There is no doubt that fans and gamers are pretty excited for the upcoming DLC expansion in the game.
You can bet, just like the original game, the upcoming DLC expansion might also be pretty huge, filled with a lot of new content for the players.
