Although Crimson Desert hasn't bombed with critics, the stock price of developer Pearl Abyss has been hit hard.
Nintendo share prices see an unexpected jump after the success of Pokemon Pokopia, breaking from a downward trend that had been plaguing the company.
The reaction was enough to shake investor confidence as reports noted the Pearl Abyss's stock price fell 29% on the Korean stock exchange shortly after the game released.
Pokémon Pokopia has been a stealth hit for Nintendo, and investors are also excited about the new Super Mario movie.
