PC Gamers Dub New AAA RPG as ‘Skyrim 2’ After Free Release
PC gamers have recently started dubbing the upcoming title “Skyrim 2.” This nickname stems from excitement surrounding the free release of a character customization mod for the game Crimson Desert. Bethesda has faced challenges with the long-awaited The Elder Scrolls VI, which has yet to showcase actual gameplay since its announcement over eight years ago.
Crimson Desert: A Worthy Contender
Set to launch soon for an affordable price, Crimson Desert is attracting attention for its extensive open-world mechanics. Many players compare it to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, citing its creative freedom and immersive gameplay.
Custom Character Creation
The recently released Character Creator – Female mod from NexusMods has enhanced perceptions of Crimson Desert. This mod introduces a suite of new customization tools that were previously absent, allowing players to create unique characters.
- 98 face presets
- Over 150 different hairstyles
- Ability to switch gender of the main character
Initially, players encounter the primary character, Kliff, but can unlock a barbershop to adjust their character’s appearance mid-game. While only the female customization option is available now, a male version is set to release soon.
Community Enthusiasm
Players have expressed their excitement on platforms like X, with some labeling Crimson Desert as the unofficial “Skyrim 2.” This bold statement reflects the game’s impressive open-world design and the ability to engage with the environment using various tools.
Game of the Year Contender
Crimson Desert’s unique features and customization options have caught the eye of the gaming community. With strong competition, including titles like Grand Theft Auto VI, it is poised as a likely candidate for this year’s Game of the Year award.
As players continue to explore its vast world, the addition of innovative mods reaffirms that PC remains the premier platform for Crimson Desert. The enthusiasm for its free character customization is just a glimpse into the game’s promising future.
