Hello Greymanes,
We are hard at work on Crimson Desert Enhanced: Charting the Unknown to bring you new adventures to Pywel.

We will use the additional time to further refine the content and do our utmost to deliver the best experience we can.
We look forward to seeing you in Pywel on October 29 GMT/PT.
