11 The Mount Armor entry in the Developer Roadmap: April to June 2026 covers Pearl Abyss's plan to extend dedicated armor support to non-horse mounts in Crimson Desert. The system is part of the broader pets-and-mounts track that the roadmap groups with new summonable mounts and additional pet types.

33 Roadmap Scope

55 Dedicated armor sets for non-horse mounts. The current armor system covers horses; the roadmap explicitly extends it.Customization for both protection and appearance. The roadmap describes the work as covering visual appearance in addition to combat stats, so the feature is broader than a stat patch.Pairs with the broader mount expansion. The same roadmap track adds Summonable Mounts and additional Pets.Names and specifics may change before each feature ships. Pearl Abyss flagged this caveat at announcement.

9-Patch 1.04.00 did not ship the non-horse mount armor system as part of its content drop. The patch focused on the difficulty selector, specialized storage, the bird pet category, the Cloudcart's conversion to a permanent mount, and the Greymane Camp expansion. Mount Armor remains a pending roadmap item; the next ship windows fall in May and June 2026.
9+Patch 1.04.02 enabled Horse gear dyeing through the standard Dye System. The change is the most direct mount-customization step the studio has shipped within the roadmap window so far. It does not yet extend dyeing to non-horse mounts, but it confirms the dye-system plumbing exists for a future mount-armor delivery.

13+Patch 1.04.00 did not ship the non-horse mount armor system as part of its content drop, and Patch 1.04.02 only delivered the horse-gear dyeing piece. The non-horse mount armor work remains pending. Pearl Abyss has committed to delivering the broader pets-and-mounts roadmap items across the April-June 2026 window without naming individual patch numbers, so the Mount Armor system could land in any patch within that window.
