Will Powers, PR director, asserted on 2026-05-07 that Pearl Abyss maintains normal work hours despite concerns about crunch.
Players complained that enemies in Pywel no longer respawn, making the open world too peaceful, prompting the patch to add boss Rematch and Re-blockade features to restore challenge.
Fans speculate that future DLC may add multiplayer, potentially converting the single-player experience back into the MMO format originally planned for Crimson Desert.
