The experience will run on Samsung’s new 32-inch Odyssey G8 gaming monitor, It’s the world’s first 6K gaming monitor with a Dual Mode feature. Players can switch between native 6K resolution at 165Hz or 3K resolution at 330Hz. This offers a choice between maximum image quality and ultra smooth gameplay.

Samsung believes the pairing of its display technology with Pearl Abyss’ in-house BlackSpace Engine will bring out the best in Crimson Desert, according to Chusun. The pair should showcase realistic graphics and dynamic combat, giving Gamescom visitors a chance to see what Samsung’s latest gaming hardware is capable of under demanding conditions.

Beyond the public demo, Pearl Abyss will also participate in the Gamescom Developer Conference from August 23 to August 25. The studio will host technical sessions explaining how Crimson Desert was built. There will be discussions covering world design techniques, player movement analysis, procedural generation, and the technologies behind the BlackSpace Engine.
