• With Crimson Desert out, Pearl Abyss is reportedly focusing on open-world Pokemon-like game DokeV

  27-03-2026 22:32 via gamesradar.com
  
  It doesn't feel like seven years since DokeV was first announced, but indeed, Crimson Desert studio Pearl Abyss's open-world Pokemon-like creature-catcher made its debut in 2019. It's changed forms a lot since then, from MMO to open-world action adventure with K-pop and skating, from a game potentially launching in 2022 to who the heck knows when, and after years of silence that had me convinced DokeV had been reduced to vaporware, it sounds like things might finally be back on track.Talking to

Just this week, the studio admitted it still has more work to do on PC optimization, and now, one of the game's developers is opening up about the toll it's taken on a personal level."I'd be lying if I said it wasn't a little stressful, but at the same time, I feel like that's p

  The Minecraft community has seen a bit of a divide over the past week or so, as the arrival of update 26.1 hasn't exactly impressed everyone – nor has Mojang's recent sneak peek at future content.That might be a bit of an understatement, too.

  The Nintendo 3DS just turned 15, but the anniversary has completely caught me off guard. Yes, it's technically now what I'd call a best retro handheld contender, and it abdicated its throne back in 2017 to make way for the Switch. However, the fact that mine still lives on my bedside, and companies are now putting out handheld homages, makes the console feel pretty current. I should note that the Nintendo 3DS 15th anniversary marks the gaming handheld's release in the US, rather than its officia
