Crimson Desert 1.13.00 Update Adds Abyss Access, Outfits

Developer Pearl Abyss has released Update 1.13.00 for its open-world action-adventure game Crimson Desert, continuing a pattern of substantial post-launch support. The patch, which began rolling out on July 4, 2026, introduces new features for the game’s secondary protagonists, expands customization options, and includes numerous bug fixes and stability improvements.

The update’s most significant addition allows the characters Oongka and Damiane to enter the Abyss, a key game area previously accessible only to the main protagonist, Kliff. This change addresses long-standing player feedback about the characters' limitations. To accommodate this, the locations of Memory Fragments for certain rematchable bosses have been adjusted.

Customization has been expanded with new outfits and an increase in dyeable equipment options. The patch adds dozens of new gear pieces for Kliff and Oongka, while Damiane receives a smaller set of eight new items. These can be obtained through quests, achievements, shops, and other in-game sources. Newly added armor sets include the Lightning Bolt Plate Armor, Scorchflame Plate Armor, and Frostcursed Plate Armor.
