Pearl Abyss put Crimson Desert update 1.05 live on PS5 on the morning of the article, bringing back boss fights with a new Rematches option and adding Re-Blockades for strongholds. Players can now light a lantern at the site of a boss they have already beaten to face that enemy again, either as it appeared in the campaign or in an upgraded version that matches their stats.
The patch is another weekend update from Pearl Abyss, and it is a big one. Besides the two previously confirmed features, the company added the Iron Eagle and the Hyacinth Macaw as legendary animals that can be kept as pets, along with a new creature called the Mountain God Bear and a shop that sells disguises.
Re-Blockades work the same way for strongholds: once certain requirements are met, players can conquer them again, and they can also change how often a stronghold offers the option in the settings. That gives the game a repeatable loop for players who want to revisit cleared fights instead of moving on after a single run.
The size of the patch matters because the full briefing from Pearl Abyss runs through a long list of notes, and update 1.05 is not a small tuning pass. It is a content drop aimed at giving players more ways to replay what they have already cleared, while also adding creatures, pets and a new shop to the game.
What comes next is simple: the full briefing from Pearl Abyss contains the complete patch notes, and that is where the full scope of Crimson Desert update 1.05 will be spelled out for players sorting through everything the weekend patch changes.
