Crimson Desert, developed by Pearl Abyss and making its mark on the gaming world at the beginning of 2026, is preparing to receive a new update that includes critical features that players have been waiting for a long time. According to the official statement made by the developer team on social media, with the patch that will be released in the next few days, the “equipment extraction” feature will be added to the game, which will completely change the process of developing special mounts and items.

This new system, which will especially enable the recovery of rare materials, makes your adventure on the Pywel continent much more strategic.

• Equipment Drop Feature:Players can now recover the valuable materials they use during item refinement from their equipment.

• New Special Mounts:New and special mount types that will be included in the existing mount system will speed up the exploration process and increase visual diversity.

• Quick Release Schedule:Pearl Abyss confirmed that this update will be released simultaneously on all platforms (PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC and macOS) in the next few days.

Rare Materials Are No More Waste: Equipment Retrieval System

One of the issues that players have given the most feedback about since Crimson Desert was released was the permanence of the resources used in item development. In the current system, the rare stones and potions you spent to improve a sword or armor were trapped in the system when you stopped using that item. Pearl Abyss announced the “Equipment Removal” feature, which solves this problem once and for all.

Thanks to this new mechanic, you can “remove” development materials from lower-level or equipment you no longer need and return them to your inventory. Recycling ancient materials, which are very difficult to obtain especially in the later stages of the game, makes it possible to compensate for the mistakes you make while configuring your character. This feature increases gameplay freedom by allowing players to feel free to try different equipment combinations.

New Companions on the Pywel Continent: Special Mounts

Another important part of the update is the innovations in the mount system. In the massive open world of Crimson Desert, transportation is vital to Kliff’s journey. According to leaked information and official announcements, the new “special mounts” to be added to the game not only offer a visual change, but also come with abilities that provide advantages in different terrain conditions.

Pearl Abyss increased the variety of pets in previous updates and added legendary animals to the game with patch 1.05. It is estimated that the new rides will have features that increase mobility, especially in high mountain regions or difficult weather conditions. Although it is not yet fully explained how to obtain these mounts, they are expected to be offered to players as rewards for certain challenging missions or discoveries.

Community-Focused Update Speed ​​from Pearl Abyss

Crimson Desert, which was released on March 19, 2026 and reached millions of sales in a short time, draws attention with the record-breaking update speed of its developer Pearl Abyss. The company completed its roadmap faster than expected by adding major features such as “Rematch” and “Re-blockade” to the game with the 1.05 patch released in the past weeks.

This new surprise update further strengthens the game’s connection with the community. This move, aimed at the player base called “Greymanes” (Greymanes), supports Crimson Desert’s vision of being not just an action game, but a living and constantly evolving world. More technical details about mount features and system improvements are expected to emerge when the full version of the patch notes is released.
