Pearl Abyss is reviving DokeV, the creature-collecting game first unveiled at Gamescom in 2021, with launch now targeted for the second half of 2028 and AI embedded across the entire development pipeline.
With the Charting the Unknown expansion for Crimson Desert now out, the studio is shifting more developers onto DokeV and plans to share fresh development progress before the end of this year, ahead of hands-on demos in the second half of 2027.
AI is handling automation of repetitive tasks, content creation support, and test optimization, freeing up development resources and speeding up production.
