Crimson Desert Update 1.13.00 is live – here’s what’s new

Crimson Desert’s latest update, version 1.13.00, is now live across all platforms, delivering significant improvements to the gameplay experience for characters Damiane and Oongka. The update fulfills Pearl Abyss’s June roadmap promise to enhance these characters, which have felt less developed compared to the primary character Kliff since the game’s March launch.

The update introduces dozens of new equipment pieces for Kliff and Oongka, with eight new gear options for Damiane, obtainable through quests, achievements, in-game shops, and other sources. Players will find expanded customization options through new outfits and increased dyeable equipment choices for these characters.

A significant gameplay addition allows both Damiane and Oongka to access the Abyss for the first time, an area previously unavailable to them. This expansion directly addresses one of the key limitations that made these characters feel underdeveloped compared to Kliff.

The patch also delivers various bug fixes and stability improvements across the game. Among lighter additions, summoned pets can now rest in bed alongside their characters—a quality-of-life feature that enhances player immersion.

By providing Damiane and Oongka with more customization options, expanded gear collections, and access to previously restricted content, Pearl Abyss is addressing player feedback about character parity and making these alternative characters more compelling to play.
