AI in Pearl Abyss's development pipeline
Studio Pearl Abyss, known for projects such as Crimson Desert and DokeV, plans to integrate generative artificial intelligence even deeper into its workflow. In its recent financial report, the South Korean company shared that it now uses AI for rapid concept verification and routine task automation.
According to studio representatives, systems were previously tested manually only after full implementation, whereas now AI helps optimize resource allocation and accelerate production. At the same time, the developers emphasize that the creation of core content and gameplay remains entirely with humans, with AI serving only as an assistive tool.
Plans for DokeV and Crimson Desert release on Switch 2
In addition to technological details, Pearl Abyss shared updated plans regarding its upcoming games:
- The anticipated creature-collecting adventure game DokeV is now planned for release in the second half of 2028.
- The open-world action game Crimson Desert is currently being prepared for release on Nintendo Switch 2 in the first half of next year.
The use of generative AI remains a sensitive topic in the industry, yet more and more major studios are openly declaring the adoption of these tools to optimize the development of large-scale projects.
