Crimson Desert Charting the Unknown Expansion Delayed Two Weeks

Crimson Desert's first expansion was only just announced at the State of Play in September with a very ambitious October 15 release date. Unfortunately, it seems that target was a little too ambitious.

Pearl Abyss announced that the Charting the Unknown expansion would be delayed by two weeks, in order to "deliver a more polished and stable gameplay experience." But even with this delay, the new expansion is coming remarkably close to the game's initial release, and hopefully the developer will have even more content planned for the future.

The expansion comes just seven months after Crimson Desert intially released back on March 19. And while the reception to the game was mixed, a lot of its initial issues have since been ironed out, turning the game into one of the breakout hits of the year.
