Using your proprietary engine gives you lots of advantages as it allows you to be able to contol and improve your game development process and the quality of the results. We’ve been always pursuing the technological innovation and will be continuing to do so. So, yes, we believe technological innovation is critical, especially for a game studio like us, who wants to create AAA blockbuster games. And 10 years later we’re still investing a lot on the game engine technologies. To guarantee the quality of the results to every single details in such a complicated game, they knew they needed a proprietary engine fully optimized to the title, and started developed the in-house game engine for Black Desert. Pearl Abyss, from the very beginning 10 years ago, had the thought in mind “Without the right technology, you cannot be a leader in the videogame industry.” The founding team wanted to create an open-world MMORPG that offers extremely high fidelity graphics and seamless gameplay experience.
Are you right? Do you think “technological innovation” (alongside gameplay or design choices) is the key today in the gaming industry? Why this unusual choice when the CryEngine or the Unreal Engine are very accessible? It seems to me that this initial choice was decisive for you. But can you tell us about the creation of Pearl Abyss: for example, you decided very early on to design your own game engine. Pearl Abyss is ten years old now and you have made a great path since then (we will come back to this later).
Crimson desert game Pc#
Pearl Abyss was founded just ten years ago (September 10, 2010) and since its creation, the studio has made some atypical choices: designing its own game engine rather than using a licensed engine developing MMORPGs at a time when the golden age of the genre is sometimes considered to be over or focusing on PC when its competitors are choosing mobile.Ĭhoices which were apparently rather judicious in hindsight ( Black Desert now claims 40 million registered players in 150 countries, on four platforms), but during an interview with the studio, we wanted to know what motivated the initial choices of Pearl Abyss and what are the developer's plans for the future, whether with Crimson Desert or DokeV, its next two MMORPGs.
