Even after 205 hours of grinding, there's still no end in sight: The 2026 blockbuster shocks everyone by requiring 1,000 hours to complete!

A story that has been causing a stir in the gaming community these days revolves around Crimson Desert - a recently released open-world blockbuster that has quickly overwhelmed players with its enormous scale.

Remarkably, despite spending 205 hours playing the game, one gamer still claimed they hadn't made much progress, even suggesting it would take 1,000 hours to complete all the content.

According to this gamer, the map of Crimson Desert is so vast that after more than 200 hours, he has only explored a certain portion of it.

Areas where tasks have been completed are marked in green, but still represent only a small percentage of the overall total. The yellow-orange areas are only just beginning to be explored, while the red areas remain completely blank.

Commenting on his experience, this gamer didn't hesitate to say: "This might be the biggest game ever created. If you want to explore everything, you'll probably need 1,000 hours of gameplay."

This statement immediately attracted significant attention from the community. Many were stunned by the fact that 205 hours, equivalent to nearly 9 days of continuous play, was still not enough to "clear the map." However, what surprised them even more was the assertion that 1,000 hours was only enough to completely finish the game.

In fact, the scale of Crimson Desert was revealed by developer Pearl Abyss before its release. The world of Pywel is said to be twice the size of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and even surpasses Red Dead Redemption 2 – two giants of the open-world genre. Not only is it geographically vast, but the game also boasts a massive amount of content. Initial statistics show that the game has dozens of bosses, hundreds of creature types, blueprints, and many different mounts. This means players will not only be exploring the map but will also have to spend a lot of time completing quests, uncovering secrets, and collecting resources.

The gaming community is therefore divided into many opinions. Some are excited about the prospect of immersing themselves for hundreds, even thousands of hours, in a vast world. They believe this is the core value of open-world games – where each player can create their own journey. According to one gamer, he has only managed to defeat: 15 out of 75 bosses, 62 out of 397 discovered creatures, 53 out of 359 blueprints, and 6 out of 28 vehicles.

However, many others expressed concern. In today's fast-paced life, dedicating hundreds of hours to a single game is no easy feat. Some even joked, "After playing this game, I'll probably have to say goodbye to social life."

Despite its controversial nature, it's undeniable that Crimson Desert is making a strong impression right from its launch. The fact that one player spent 205 hours and still hadn't explored it all only highlights the developer's ambition to build a vibrant, vast, and deeply immersive world.
