10 Upcoming Video Game Graphics That Will BLOW YOU AWAY

10. Crimson Desert

Starting off as a prequel to Black Desert Online, Crimson Desert slowly evolved into its own thing, turning into a single player title that takes place in the same universe.

When Pearl Abyss revealed this accidental spin-off at The Game Awards at 2020, everyone got serious Killzone 2 vibes. As incredible as the teaser looked, people weren't convinced the in-game visuals would be up to scratch.

So, when Pearl Abyss released an extended gameplay trailer the following year, it seemed like the cynics were right, since the footage didn't look as good as the original promo.

Instead, it looked better.

Running on a unique engine called the Blackspace, every terrain is a feast for the eyes. As you admire the dune-covered deserts, thick forests, and snowy mountains, you can tell Pearl Abyss pushed the technology as far as they could. Although objects in the distance should be blurry, every detail on-screen is equally sharp, no matter how far you look.

Any time we reach a point where we think graphics have peaked, games like Crimson Desert prove there are still improvements to be made.
