Crimson Desert Patch Notes 1.07.00 (May 2026)

Boss rematches get a serious expansion in Crimson Desert's 1.07.00 update, live now on Steam for PC and Mac. Five bosses, Muskan, Corrupted Caliburn, Goyen, Draven the Crowcaller, and Clockwork White Horn, now have dedicated rematch locations on land, which is a smart call; revisiting a boss in the Abyss just to grind it felt like unnecessary padding.

The other headliner is unarmed combat getting a real toolkit. Damiane and Oongka both pick up Aerial Stab, and Blinding Flash Finisher lands as a new unarmed finisher. Combined with improved movement animations and unarmed attacks now properly connecting on grounded enemies, this feels like Pearl Abyss actually committing to fists as a viable playstyle rather than a novelty. There's also a fix for AMD GPU crashes tied to driver version 26.5.1, which players on that driver have been flagging for a while now.

On the quality-of-life side, mount variety expands with new wolf and bear types, Ibexes can now be sold to a fence, and several quest progression blockers have been cleared. Here's the full breakdown.
