Crimson Desert Kliff actor reveals his character changed a lot during development and he had to push Pearl Abyss for clarity — 'I just kept pushing and pushing and pushing about story and character as much as I could'

Alec Newman, the voice behind Crimson Desert's protagonist, Kliff, has revealed how he had to keep pushing Pearl Abyss for clarity on the game's story and his character during the many years of development.

Crimson Desert voice actor says he had to keep pushing to get a cohesive story for Kliff

"I kept just saying 'yes, but what is happening?!'"

Even Crimson Desert's lead actor knows you're not here for the story: "The boon of this game is clearly the size of the open world, and, you know, the fact that you can pick up a cat"

Alec Newman worked on Crimson Desert for 2 years before he started "recording in earnest," and even then the devs "kept moving the focus"

Crimson Desert voice cast includes Cyberpunk 2077 and Stellar Blade actors

Big names for a big game.
