I’d like to imagine the folks at Dazed Games, the indie studio behind viral friendslop sensation How to Fish, are kicking back with a cooler full of brewskies, angling for salmon in a crystal clear alpine lake in Sweden where they’re based.

Crimson Desert updates are slowing down in “scope, scale, and pace” as Pearl Abyss shifts focus to the DLC

One of the odder surprises from Gamescom Opening Night Live was the reveal of Crimson Desert Enhanced.
