Crimson Desert 1.10.00 — A Meaty June Update
Pearl Abyss rolled out Crimson Desert Update 1.10.00 on June 5, 2026, and this one goes well beyond a routine patch. Two entirely new minigames are now live in the world, a new pet arrives that can grow into a rideable special mount, Baby Wyverns get their moment as mounts, and the Re-Blockade system receives a significant structural overhaul.
Available now on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. The Mac iOS version is still in progress and will follow shortly.
Pearl Abyss summarized the update:
""This patch adds improvements to Re-Blockade and a feature that allows Baby Wyverns and the new pet Kuku Bird Chick to be used as special mounts. New minigames – Pinball and Orb Roll – have also been added, along with various bug fixes and stability improvements."

New Minigames — Pinball and Orb Roll
Two fully interactive minigames have been added to Crimson Desert's open world, each with their own reward loop.
Pinball
- ▶Location: Inn near the Delesyian Institute
- ▶How it works: Play to earn Marni Tokens, then exchange them at the Marni Token Exchange
- ▶Reward pool:
- Material Box of Fortune
- Abyss Artifact
- 2 types of Artifact Chests
- Helm (1 type)
- 13 types of furniture
- 3 types of gear crafting recipes
Orb Roll
- ▶Location: Great Gate of Urdavah
- ▶Reward pool:
- Material Box of Fortune
- Abyss Artifact
- 2 types of Artifact Chests
- Golden Apple
- 3 types of carpets
- 3 types of lights
Both minigames are fully playable in-world rather than simple UI exchanges, representing a push toward more life-sim variety in Crimson Desert's daily content loop.
New Pet — Kuku Bird Chick
The Kuku Bird Chick is the star of this patch. It's not just a cosmetic companion — feed it regularly and it grows, and once it reaches a sufficient growth level, you can register it as a special mount.
Baby Wyverns work the same way. Both pets now have a growth path that ends in rideable status.
New Pet Equipment
- ▶Small Kuku Bird Eggshell — for the Kuku Bird Chick
- ▶Small Wyvern Aviator Hat — for the Baby Wyvern
Sigil of Valor Update
- ▶Currently equippable on: Dogs, Baby Wyverns
- ▶Next patch: Iron Eagle and Phoenix will also be able to equip the Sigil of Valor
Combat Changes
Blackstar
- ▶New ground attack skill added — expands the character's offensive toolkit
Damiane
- ▶Unarmed skill damage adjusted (tuning pass)
- ▶New roll and turn animations added for musket use
- ▶New sitting animation (temporarily removed, coming in next patch)
- ▶Fixed greatsword appearance glitch after Rematch forfeit
- ▶Fixed shield visual persisting incorrectly after Shield Toss
Universal Combat Improvements
- ▶Element slot and arrow/bullet/cannonball changes made during boss battles are now retained after death and retry
- ▶Regular arrows are now used first when Replenishing Arrows run out
- ▶Homing skills no longer target unintended objects
Re-Blockade System Overhaul
Re-Blockade is one of Crimson Desert's signature territory systems, and 1.10.00 makes meaningful structural improvements:
- ▶New stages added: "Battle" and "Reconstruct" phases improve the flow before and after blockades
- ▶Protection requests: For major strongholds, players can now request Protection through the contribution assessor in each region to suppress Re-Blockades
- ▶Liberation rewards: Freeing strongholds now grants contribution, provisions, trade goods, and other items
The "contribution shop" and "manager of the contribution shop" have also been renamed to contribution office and contribution assessor respectively.

Community Response
The Crimson Desert community has received 1.10.00 warmly. The minigames are being praised for adding casual content variety — something the game's more intense territory combat doesn't always accommodate. The Kuku Bird Chick mount growth system is already being discussed as a new long-term pet objective.
The Re-Blockade improvements have been particularly welcomed by PvP-focused guilds, who noted the previous system felt abrupt. And the sheer volume of bug fixes signals Pearl Abyss's ongoing commitment to refining the game post-launch.
Crimson Desert's Summer Roadmap, announced earlier this week, also promises DLC content, cross-save functionality, and a story overhaul — making 1.10.00 feel like the warm-up act for larger content ahead.
Patch Summary
Update 1.10.00 is a well-rounded patch that adds playable content (minigames), expands the pet system in a meaningful direction (mount growth), addresses one of the game's core systems (Re-Blockade), and cleans up a substantial backlog of bugs. For active players, there's something in this patch for everyone.
