  • Crimson Desert Reviews Trigger Nearly 30% Drop in Pearl Abyss Stock
    March 19, 2026, 11:39 AM EDT. Pearl Abyss, the developer behind the open-world action game Crimson Desert, saw its share price dive nearly 30% following the release of initial reviews. The game earned a Metacritic score of 78, a solid but mixed reception that fell short of heightened market expectations. Shares fell from ₩65,600 ($43.79) to ₩46,000 ($30.70) on Wednesday, reflecting investor disappointment. Despite strong online buzz and viral gameplay clips, the market reacted sharply to the tempered critical response. Industry watchers note that while the early reviews were uneven, Crimson Desert is still poised to perform well commercially, especially among PS5 users who have had limited pre-launch exposure to console footage.
