Crimson Desert Enhanced Heads Underwater As Part Of Charting the Unknown

In Charting the Unknown, the stories of the main characters, Kliff, Damiane, and Oongka, continue as each sets out to forge their own path. Along the way, they will encounter allies and threats, both old and new, as they chart their own course forward. Besides the character-focused stories, a new explorable region, the Great Ocean of Pywel, and an accompanying storyline is available with the DLC. Players can unlock shipbuilding, gather resources to construct their own vessel, and customize it before setting sail across the Great Ocean to explore its distinct islands. There, players can defeat enemy forces, establish new strongholds alongside their Greymane comrades, and earn rewards for venturing beyond familiar shores. More secrets lie beneath the surface, where new underwater traversal methods let players dive below the waves to uncover sunken ruins, treasure, and resources.

Charting the Unknown also brings new ways to build a life in Pywel. By earning the trust of certain characters, players can develop romantic relationships and eventually get married. Close companions may also drop by the Greymane Camp to spend some time together, bringing new life to the camp. On the customization side, housing has been significantly expanded. Beyond interior decoration, players can design the structure of their residence from the ground up, including the placement of walls, windows, and other structural elements. Additionally, once certain castles have been liberated, players can claim them and decorate their interiors, turning a hard-won stronghold into a place of their own.

All players who pre-order will receive the in-game Charter's Diving Set and Charter's Light Diving Set.
