Space, the final frontier. Human beings have mastered science to travel further than our species was ever meant to. The recent Artemis II mission showed us the amount of time, energy, and technology needed to travel beyond the bounds of our planet. But, if you’re Kliff from Crimson Desert, you can just spam your way to it.
Before the latest patch, Crimson Desert featured an exploit that allowed Kliff to fly higher and further than possible. This resulted in crossing vast portions of the map without touching the ground and even leaving the planet’s atmosphere. However, once you manage to reach the stratosphere, even Pywel begins to look tiny.
A Desert Of Stars
While it may no longer be possible to launch Klifgf into outer space, QNDZY on Twitter shows us what it looks like. Sailing out of bounds gets you eaten by a whale, but if you manage to fly into space, you’re greeted with a stunning panorama of stars, the Earth’s horizon, and even the Milky Way galaxy.
While it’s not actually a realistic simulation like No Man’s Sky or Outer Wilds, the view is absolutely stunning. Where many games would be content with a simpler skybox that starts breaking once you go out of bounds, Crimson Desert gives you a gorgeous view for making your way all the way into space. The video doesn’t reveal any broken textures even though it’s clearly out of bounds. It just goes to show how much work was put into the game’s world.
The post also mentions realistic re-entry physics, but that wasn’t seen in the video.
But why would a game that doesn’t feature outer space have such a detailed depiction of it? That’s all thanks to Pearl Abyss’ proprietary BlackSpace Engine. The studio likely views the game as a showcase for this engine, and that’s probably why Crimson Desert may feel overloaded with features as well.
A detailed depiction of outer space could possibly be just one more feature that the devs wanted to show off, and it really is something to behold.
