Pearl Abyss launches Crimson Desert video contest with South Korea trip prize

Pearl Abyss announced the "Beyond the Abyss: Community Challenge," a global video contest for players of the open‑world action RPG Crimson Desert. Participants may submit short (under one minute) or longer (one to three minutes) in‑game footage videos on any theme, using only game footage and avoiding copyrighted music. The contest runs until 12 July, and ten winners will receive a fully funded visit to Pearl Abyss' headquarters in South Korea, including round‑trip airfare and three days/ two nights of accommodation, plus a commemorative golden coin and special merch.

The game has attracted strong community engagement, with over 31 million Twitch viewing hours in 2026 and more than 6 million copies sold worldwide. The contest aims to further highlight player‑generated content and reward creative contributions from the global fan base.
