Plaion will handle the worldwide physical distribution of the AAA action adventure game Crimson Desert from Pearl Abyss. The highly anticipated game is scheduled for release in early 2026.

Plaion has announced a distribution partnership with Pearl Abyss for the upcoming launch of Crimson Desert. As part of this collaboration, Plaion will be responsible for the game's global physical distribution.

Kevin Kim, CBO at Pearl Abyss, said, "Plaion is already proving to be a strong partner for Pearl Abyss as we continue to grow in overseas markets. Partnering with Plaion with their global footprint will allow us to bring Crimson Desert to even more fans around the world. We are pleased to partner with a physical game distributor that shares our ambitious vision of an adventure set in the beautiful yet brutal continent of Pywel."
