- Pearl Abyss adds new content to Crimson Desert via update 1.13
- The update adds new clothing, gear and equipment to all three playable characters
- Oongka can now use the same outfits that Kliff does
Pearl Abyss has gone above and beyond with that Crimson desertthanks to a large amount of content available at launch and consistent updates in recent months – and it’s not taking its foot off the gas.
Crimson desert has a new batch of content, with update 1.13 introducing new equipment and outfits for all three playable characters, Kliff, Oongka and Damiane, including expanded ‘colorable equipment options’. Also, both Oongka and Damiane will now be able to enter the Abyss and the rematch bosses that originally did for Kliff.
It’s another significant update to 2026’s beloved hit, as developers at the South Korean studio continue to listen to fan feedback and tweak areas that could do with more content.
Honestly, the game’s continent, Pywel, is full of activities to engage in, gear to find, and bosses to face, but one aspect has arguably been neglected since launch.
Both Oongka and Damiane are characters that feel like they’ve received the short end of the stick in terms of outfits and equipment – and thankfully, that’s what this update addresses.
Notably, Oongka can now equip ‘most outfits available to Kliff’, further expanding the secondary character’s customization options. It’s a change I’ve been wanting as it should give me far more incentive to use Oongka, especially for replaying boss fights while properly equipped.
Even with my 236 hours spent playing Crimson desertit still feels like there’s so much more to discover, especially with Pearl Abyss consistently improving the experience – and it’s worth noting that an expansion is already in development.
It is also quite fascinating to see that four months after its launch, Crimson desert has a 24-hour peak of 26,659 players on Steam, which is incredibly rare (or at least difficult) for a single-player game to sustain after launch. Hopefully it stays that way as I feel that Pearl Abyss deserves all the success and praise for its efforts on Crimson desert.
