Assassin’s Creed meets Red Dead Redemption 2 in eye-wateringly beautiful new open-world RPG

An upcoming RPG looks like the stunning amalgamation of some of the best AAA games of the last decade.

If you tuned into Gamescom’s Opening Night Live show last night, you’ll no doubt rememberCrimson Desert, the new RPG that’s borrowing the parkour fromAssassin’s Creed, the narrative brilliance ofRed Dead Redemption 2, and the open-world spectacle ofElden Ring.

Take a look atCrimson Desert’s new trailer below.

The new gameplay showcased the main character exploring the enormous fantasy world of Pywel, along with some of the characters and activities you’ll be encountering during your adventure.

Traversal will be a big part of the game, with the player utilising parkour to climb surfaces, ride around on a horse, or use magic to fly/glide across the map. The latter power was shown in yesterday’s trailer, and saw the player ride their horse off a cliff before jumping off and flying away, the horse wasn’t so lucky…

Players will also be ticking off quests on a job boardWitcher 3-style, going fishing (because every great game needs a fishing minigame) and buying food and animals, when you’re not locked in intense combat segments anyway.

It gives off majorRed Dead Redemption 2vibes, with a world that you can tirelessly explore, but also take a break in to soak up the atmosphere.
