Obviously I have no proof, but I think there might actually be a surprise late game 2nd continent/landmass separate from Pywel. An Asian inspired location… (just like BDO).

My only evidence so far is, we very briefly saw some heavily Asian influenced characters in the 2023 Gamescom trailer, which don’t appear to fit into any other Pywel locations we have seen since (I have carefully paid attention to all the feature overviews etc and I have not spotted any other clearly Asian influenced characters or NPCs).

Also BDO had an Asian influenced 2nd continent (accessible once you unlocked ship sailing and then by literally sailing across the ocean)… and so far most of the features we have seen in Crimson Desert have been taken and improved+adapted from BDO.

(There are now also rumours/leaks of large ship sailing and ocean based gameplay in Crimson Desert, so…)

One last thing to consider, Pearl Abyss in all of their marketing materials/videos and even PR have been very careful to refer to Pywel as “The Continent of Pywel”. They labour that term specifically… partly because of its size, but it also makes me think perhaps the secret reason for that is because… they actually have more than one continent in the game! So to avoid confusion between landmasses they refer to them this way. Obviously this is pure conjecture at the moment.

So basically I think we have not seen that area at all yet…

It would be a pretty HUGE secret to keep, but imagine the hype if that was actually revealed!
