3 months, 4 weeks - Today, as part of our IGN First for Crimson Desert, we’re showcasing three brand new bosses: Muskan, Walter Lanford, and Kearush the Slayer. Each poses a unique challenge, making for a distinct trio of fights. So sit back, enjoy the action, and if you’ve missed any of the bosses that have previously been shown off, we'll also be showcasing every one of them, too.

4 months - Bosses are woven into the fabric of Crimson Desert’s world. Judging by the many, many different ones we’ve now seen across multiple hands-on demos and videos, it appears that they’re frequently a showstopping spectacle that puts all of your abilities to the test. One such headline attraction is Golden Star, a monstrous mechanical dragon that we fought at the Seoul offices of developer Pearl Abyss in preparation for this month’s IGN First. If you watched our last gameplay video, you’ll have already seen this mighty boss in action, but here we’re going to take you behind the scenes to show you how it was designed, all the way from the sound of its beating wings to the method of its downfall.
