The single-player, open world action adventure game [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/crimson-desert-sales-update']sold 5 million copies in less than a month[/URL] — the quickest time to hit the sales milestone in Korean console game history. Crimson Desert has already been praised by game developers — [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/crimson-desert-praised']including the director of [U]The Witcher 3[/U][/URL] — but it has now caught the attention of an even higher office. In a tweet published this week, South Korea prime minister Kim Min-seok heaped praise upon Crimson Desert and its developer Pearl Abyss, pointing to the fact that the game was created in-house using Pearl Abyss' own technology as opposed to a western game engine, and incorporated Korean elements like taekwondo and Korean cuisine.

But the food does have a distinctly Korean flavor to it, and many of the recipes result in food that looks inspired by Korean hot pot dishes (I can't be the only one who craves Korean food after spending time cooking in-game!). Kim Min-seok said Crimson Desert had opened a “new chapter in K-content,” and that its success “serves as a crucial turning point, demonstrating that the domestic game industry can expand and leap forward across diverse platforms, including consoles.” South Korean developers, which are known for their enormously popular mobile and online-focused PC games, have in recent years enjoyed significant success branching out onto consoles with single-player adventure games.

But Crimson Desert has sold faster than them all. Here’s Kim Min-seok’s statement, published [URL='https://x.com/ms2030/status/2047639926091784585']on his X / Twitter account[/URL]: “I sincerely congratulate the success of Crimson Desert, which has elevated the status of the South Korean gaming industry on the global stage. “The living game world, crafted entirely with their own technology from start to finish, graphics akin to photorealism, and proactive communication has captured the hearts of players worldwide.
