Direct detection experiments have established the most stringent constraints on potential interactions between particle candidates for relic, thermal dark matter and Standard Model particles. To surpass current exclusion limits a new generation of experiments is being developed. The upcoming upgrade of the CRESST experiment will incorporate $\mathcal{O}$(100) detectors with different masses ranging from $\sim$2g to $\sim$24g, aiming to achieve unprecedented sensitivity to sub-GeV dark matter particles with a focus on spin-independent dark matter-nucleus scattering. This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the planned upgrade, detailed experimental strategies, anticipated challenges, and projected sensitivities. Approaches to address and mitigate low-energy excess backgrounds $-$ a key limitation in previous and current sub-GeV dark matter searches $-$ are also discussed. In addition, a long-term roadmap for the next decade is outlined, including other potential scientific applications.
