Update: Pearl Abyss has since provided us with the following statement.
"Core developers of DokeV, including lead producer Sangyoung Kim and lead game designer Changkee Nam, are still working on the same project.
DokeV's release window is not decided. We aim to communicate details at a later stage."
Original: It looks like we'll have to wait a while longer before being able to play Pearl Abyss' monster-catching game DokeV. As noted in a quarterly earnings call for the company, the South Korean developer has said that due to losing lots of developers on the project, and due to the focus that is being placed on getting Crimson Desert out the door, DokeV will likely be missing its planned 2023 release window.
As stated by CEO Heo Jin-young in the call, "DokeV along with Crimson Desert is being developed meeting our internal development roadmap. However since this year our core development team is immersing itself on developing Crimson Desert, we will do our best so that for DokeV we will be able to disclose additional information as they are done."
There's no word on when exactly DokeV will be arriving exactly, but considering the title was announced with an array of gameplay back at Gamescom in 2021, hopefully it won't be too long until we get further information on the project.
Thanks, Eurogamer.
