Pearl Abyss says its upcoming open-world action-adventure game Crimson Desert is progressing on a Nintendo Switch 2 port and could be ready for release in the first half of 2027. The studio frames the target as dependent on reaching a “satisfactory” state before bringing the game to the platform.
Both outlets report that Pearl Abyss has moved beyond initial research and development and now considers the Switch 2 version “playable.” My Nintendo News adds that the studio is working to ensure the port meets its quality expectations, implying that a final decision on launch timing follows ongoing development progress.
Nintendo Life echoes the company’s updated timing, describing the current goal as “first half of 2027,” and notes that Pearl Abyss is working toward a release. While neither source provides further details on features, performance targets, or release dates beyond the time window, they agree that the port status has improved and that the timeline is now more specific than earlier statements.
