Crimson Desert, the massive open-world game from Pearl Abyss, has received a new patch that brings several changes to the game. One of the most notable additions is the inclusion of new mounts, which players can use to explore the game's vast world.

According to a report by [2] Rock, Paper, Shotgun, the latest patch also makes it a crime to slap non-player characters (NPCs) with trees. This change is likely aimed at reducing the game's toxicity and promoting a more positive community.

The patch also reportedly removes the infamous AI paintings that were previously left in the game. However, the patch's wording around this change is fairly vague, leaving some players wondering what exactly has been removed.

The latest patch is part of Pearl Abyss' ongoing efforts to improve and expand Crimson Desert. The game has received several updates since its release, each bringing new features and content to the table.

Crimson Desert is available on PC and consoles, and players can download the latest patch to experience the new changes for themselves.
