In its latest financial results, which accounted for just a couple weeks of Crimson Desert sales, Pearl Abyss said Crimson Desert had brought in KRW 266.5 billion (approx. $178.8 million). More than 80% of those Crimson Desert sales came from North America and Europe.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Pearl Abyss projected revenue from Crimson Desert for the full year to come in at KRW 644.1~734.8 billion (approx. $432.2 million~$514.4 million). That means if Crimson Desert performs at the top line of Pearl Abyss\u2019 estimate for 2026, it will end the year having brought in over half a billion dollars.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Crimson Desert revenue is expected to \u201csoften\u201d in the second quarter of 2026, Pearl Abyss said, because initial sales are front-loaded. But the company expects to maintain \u201cstable performance,\u201d supported by continuous patches and updates (remarkably, Pearl Abyss has released game-changing updates for Crimson Desert on an almost weekly basis since launch). Crimson Desert has done so well that Pearl Abyss paid out a performance bonus to staff valued at approximately $3,400.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">The news comes hot on the heels of Pearl Abyss\u2019 announcement of a summer roadmap of content, as well as confirmation that DLC is in development.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><em>Wesley is Director, News at IGN.
