Pearl Abyss is targeting the second half of 2028 for DokeV, while planning another development update before the end of 2026. The window remains a target rather than a firm release date.
The timing was reiterated in Pearl Abyss’s official third-quarter 2026 earnings material and reported by Push Square. Pearl Abyss currently describes DokeV as an open-world action-adventure in development for PC and consoles.
More DokeV information is planned for 2026
Pearl Abyss says it intends to provide another progress update before the end of the year. The company has not identified the event or exact date, so speculation about a particular showcase should not be treated as confirmation.
The studio has moved more staff onto DokeV following work on Crimson Desert content and other projects. That shift supports development but does not turn the 2028 target into a guaranteed launch window.
Hands-on promotion is expected in 2027
Pearl Abyss previously said full-scale marketing, including hands-on demonstrations and phased information reveals, is expected to begin in the second half of 2027. That plan places the larger public campaign roughly a year before the current release target.
The company has also discussed using AI-assisted tools for concept validation, repetitive tasks and testing optimization across its development pipeline. Pearl Abyss says those tools support production while the development team remains responsible for core gameplay and content creation.
For now, the confirmed schedule consists of another update before 2026 ends, a broader hands-on campaign expected in the second half of 2027 and a targeted launch in the second half of 2028.
