Pearl Abyss will host the '2026 Heidel Ball,' a major summer event for its game 'Black Desert,' on Sunday, July 26, in California, USA. The event is open to adventurers from all regions, and the live broadcast will be streamed globally.

Pearl Abyss announced the event schedule on the official Black Desert website under the title, 'Log in together for the 2026 Summer Heidel Ball!' Two years ago, the event was held in Beynac, France—the inspiration for the in-game city of Heidel—where it brought together global adventurers. This year, the company expects players from around the world to gather in the U.S. to enjoy the festivities. The broadcast date may vary by time zone, and specific streaming times will be announced at a later date.

Alongside the announcement of the event's date and location, a hint regarding a new class was also revealed. An image of a revolver suggests the arrival of a new class, presumed to be the younger brother of the Corsair (Dead Eye). Additionally, text related to 'Edania Part 2' was released, signaling that various updates, including new monsters and maps, are expected to be announced.
