Crimson Desert is developed by Pearl Abyss, the same studio behind Black Desert Online, and shares some lore connections. However, it is a standalone single-player action-adventure game — not an MMO. Combat feels similar but is designed for PvE encounters with tighter mechanics and boss-focused gameplay.
