However, with **Rockstar Games**keeping quiet and virtually no marketing efforts so far this year, **[Crimson Desert](https://viciados.net/games/crimson-desert/)** is stealing the show. **You can check out more GTA 6 content in the video from our partner SanInPlay:** **Check it out on YouTube:**[This Clue Might REVEAL When GTA 6 PRE-ORDERS Will START](https://youtu.be/BMhL4JxFVJ4) As its release approaches, **Crimson Desert** has just surpassed the almighty **GTA 6**in terms of online hype.

Searches for **Crimson Desert**have climbed aggressively, leaving searches for **GTA 6**in the dust. **Check out the charts below:** Google Trends chart shows Crimson Desert (Blue) surpassing GTA 6 (Red) on YouTube and Google.Ousting **Rockstar**right in the year of **GTA 6**’s release is a historic achievement for **Pearl Abyss**. It’s obvious that if **Rockstar**were to say even a **single word** about the new **GTA**, the entire internet would stop, but **Crimson Desert** is taking full advantage of their absolute silence to shine. ## Former Rockstar employee believes in Crimson Desert’s potential And it’s not just the fans who are impressed. **Mike York**, a former animator at **Rockstar Games** (who worked on **GTA 5**and also on **[God of War](https://viciados.net/games/god-of-war/) Ragnarok**), [has provided technical analyses full of praise](https://viciados.net/ex-animador-rockstar-crimson-desert-superar-gta-6/) for the title. For **York**, the mechanics, the revolutionary physics, and the possibilities for interaction in the open world are the major standout features. He was categorical in his opinion: if **GTA 6**slips up, fails to meet expectations, or even gets pushed back to 2027, **Crimson Desert is the natural contender to win Game of the Year (GOTY)**. ## Crimson Desert review leak fuels anticipation To add even more fuel to the fire, a supposed leak of early impressions has surfaced in recent days. Spanish content creator **Revenant**reportedly shared details after playing a review copy for 50 hours, before the video was deleted. **Here are the main highlights of what was leaked:** - **Combat:** This is the standout feature. Very deep, large-scale, and comparable to **Devil May Cry** and **Ninja Gaiden**, but within an open world. - **Interaction:** The game’s physics let you use the environment to your advantage, such as using trees (or even enemies themselves) as slingshots. - **Scale and World:** The world and mission design is compared to **[Red Dead Redemption 2](https://viciados.net/games/red-dead-redemption-2/)**, with exploration mechanics reminiscent of **Zelda: Breath of the Wild** and **Tears of the Kingdom**. The game is massive (50 hours and still in the first region). - **Atmosphere:** A soundtrack on par with **The Witcher 3**, a sense of scale similar to **Shadow of the Colossus,** and very dark nights in the style of **Dragon’s Dogma**. In short, **Rockstar Games**’ **GTA 6** (**Grand Theft Auto VI**) is coming to**PlayStation 5** and **Xbox Series S/X**on November 19, 2026. **Check out:**[GTA 6 Trailer 3?
