Crimson Desert Update Adds Lion and Tiger Mounts

Pearl Abyss has released a new Crimson Desert patch that allows players to ride lions and tigers. The update forms the latest in a string of additions that have changed the game in the last two months as of May 12, 2026. Forbes reported that Pearl Abyss has done a lot of fixing and updating to Crimson Desert during that period.

8 million in revenue from the first few weeks of its launch, Pearl Abyss said. The game has sold a few million more copies since its initial launch period. Full-year revenue for Crimson Desert is projected to be $430–$514 million, according to Pearl Abyss.

Eighty percent of Crimson Desert copies were sold in North America and Europe. Pearl Abyss stated: “New Pipelines and Growth Strategy Crimson Desert will continue to focus on enhancing user satisfaction and driving new sales through continuous updates, while expanding its market presence through platform expansion.

” The company previously said its focus would be on fixing and updating Crimson Desert before heading into DLC production.

Forbes reported that the studio has done a lot of fixing and updating to the game in the last two months as of 2026-05-12. Crimson Desert was once linked to Black Desert Online. Black Desert Online launched its “Mediah” expansion one month after its western launch.

Black Desert Online’s Mediah expansion included a thousand new quests and a massive map expansion. The game had major updates pretty much every month through the rest of the year after its Mediah expansion. Forbes reported that the pattern of rapid content delivery seen in Black Desert Online suggests Crimson Desert could reach DLC faster than typical development cycles for other games.
