Pearl Abyss brings exclusive Black Desert Online fan event to E3 2019

Pearl Abyss, the developer of Black Desert Online, hosted Into the Abyss at E3 2019. Into The Abyss invites a community of partners, creators, media, and the public to catch the reveal of announcements, new content, and exclusive demos and games. 

 

What is Black Desert Online?

Black Desert is an open-world action MMORPG with cutting-edge visuals and skill-based combat that redefines the genre. The combat in Black Desert Online is action based, requiring manual aiming similar to those found in third-person shooters. Skills can be activated through use of combos for attacking, dodging or blocking. The game offers housing, fishing, farming, and trading,as well as large player versus player siege, and castle battles.

BDO operates within an active combat system requires precise manual aiming, dodging and using combos, unlike the tab-targeting system seen in most MMORPGs. Players are also able to engage in mounted combat. Mounts are acquired by taming in the wild and players are able to breed special mounts by mating certain types, require feeding and care, cannot be stored in the inventory, and may be killed. 

BDO thrives off of its beautiful aesthetics and freedom within its sandbox style gameplay. Players are given the pleasure of exploring the world and exploring both combative and non-combative interactions to their respective preferences.

The Announcements

Into the Abyss 2019 focused on how the Black Desert IP will continue to expand to various platforms. Following last year’s launch of Black Desert on Xbox One and a limited Asia launch of Black Desert Mobile, Into The Abyss 2019 announced and demoed Black Desert on PS4 and along with the global launch for Black Desert Mobile later this year.


 

Into The Abyss additionally introduced Shai, the 18th character class for the Black Desert franchise. A mischievous halfling from the forests near Florin, Shai uses her Boomerang and a variety of skills to evade danger while aiding her friends.

 

 


To conclude Into The Abyss 2019, Pearl Abyss CEO Robin Jung revealed that Shadow Arena, Black Desert’s iconic Battle Royale game mode, will be polished and become a new stand-alone game.

    level 1 Kalipso

    Как могли для Темного рыцаря взять такую низкорослую и разукрашенную модель? Стилистика не выдержана! Темный рыцарь - девушка практически без макияжа, с тонкими эльфийскими точеными чертами лица. Такой прически, как у вашей модели, нет даже в базе для Темного рыцаря! Эти ваши кудрявые волосы и огромные глаза с налепленными ресницами - это девушка для стриптиза. Толстенные ноги... ужс... Зачем столько косметики? // Надеюсь это просто неудачное фото.
