Crimson Desert developer trying to get game to run on Nintendo Switch 2

Pearl Abyss, the developer’s behind Crimson Desert, have revealed in an investors question and answer session that they have been attempting to get Crimson Desert up and running on the Nintendo Switch 2. The company CEO said that a Nintendo Switch 2 version of the game requires optimisation and technical verification and it has to be up to standard. Here’s what the CEO told investors:

You mentioned platform expansion for Crimson Desert. What is the possibility of a Nintendo Switch 2 version?

CEO Heo Jin-young = We believe it is important to showcase Crimson Desert on as many platforms as possible. We are reviewing the Nintendo Switch 2, and it is currently being developed to a level where basic gameplay is possible. However, platform expansion is not just a simple port; the key is whether we can fully maintain the graphics, action, and open-world experience of Crimson Desert on that device. The Switch 2 version still requires optimization and technical verification, and we must also review partner collaboration and whether it meets our quality standards. Therefore, it is difficult to confirm a release schedule. We will announce it transparently once there is confirmed information.
