BLACK DESERT MOBILE
Black Desert’s Biggest Expansion, Adapted for Mobile: Land of the Morning Light offers original new gameplay, cultural storylines, and powerful gear to Black Desert Mobile players, transporting them to a mythical new continent filled with authentic landmarks, folklore-inspired bosses, and characters inspired by Korea’s Joseon dynasty.
- Fearsome Bosses to Conquer: Players of all skill levels can fight four mythical bosses including the deadly Golden Pig King; the nine-tailed Fox, Gumiho; the blue-skinned monster Songakshi; and the Mudang Wraith, Bari; in customized difficulty levels. Veteran players can challenge themselves in the “Black Shrine” mode, fighting each boss on a new difficulty level (or Calamity Level).
- Dynamic New Gear: By defeating bosses in the Black Shrine Boss Rush, Adventurers can obtain the “Flame of Hongik” and craft a variety of high-powered Dawnveil Gear. The Flame of Hongik can be acquired at a set chance and collected for crafting by using Flame of Hongik’s Embers.
- Quests Inspired By Korean Folklore: Players follow an immersive storyline that unfolds like a novel, discovering Korean fables and meeting characters from popular Korean folktales, including Songakshi, the vengeful maiden ghost, and Bari, the Mudang Wraith.
- Stunning Landscapes From Korea: Pearl Abyss studied 15 real-world locations to re-create historical landmarks in-game. Visit a Korean folk village inspired by villages from the Joseon period or Nampo Gate, inspired by Sangdang Sanseong Fortress.
- Take on a Powerful New Character: With the power of this netherworld, Woosa Awakening, aka Choryeong, summons the souls of the deceased using the calligraphy brush to attack enemies and wields flowers of death to strategically block enemies. This powerful “Do” fighter can unleash various long- and short-range attacks based on the distance between her and the enemy, or summon flowers to relentlessly track them and inflict explosive damage, ensnaring enemies in a state of confusion.
BLACK DESERT ONLINE
A Revamped Season Server Experience: The transformed season server removes the seasonal end date, giving players the chance to choose when to start leveling and graduate their character. Season servers offer season-exclusive gear, accelerated experience, and unique content and rewards through Season Pass challenges, quests, and other activities, making them a perfect starting point for players new to Black Desert Online.
Level Two Characters at Once: The new “Character Tag” system enables players to level up two characters together, creating a way for players to easily grow multiple characters’ power at the same time. Simply tag an idle character to an active character for them to receive the same amount of experience earned through play.
Two Complementary Season Character Tickets: To welcome the new season, Adventurers will receive two seasonal character tickets to jump-start their journey.
