Manhattan Beach, CA – January 16, 2025 – Pearl Abyss unleashes an electrifying update for Black Desert Online today, introducing Voltarion, a Dream Horse charged with lightning speed, alongside the adrenaline-pumping Snowfall Crasher winter events. This dynamic update will transform the game’s landscape with high-speed action and various seasonal activities in a brand-new open-world event.
New Lightning-Themed Dream Horse: Voltarion
Available today, players can tame Voltarion, the legendary Dream Horse descended from the ancient rain spirit Narc and empowered by Krogdalo. Charged with raw lightning, Voltarion races across the landscapes of Black Desert at unparalleled speeds and leaps through space with his light-speed ability. This formidable steed not only speeds up travel but also brings powerful combat skills that transform battlefield tactics.
Voltarion’s unique skills include:
- Thunderhead: Voltarion generates kinetic energy as he sprints, converting it into stamina regeneration to sustain him on any journey.
- Thunderfall: Voltarion calls upon his power to unleash bolts of lightning, damaging nearby enemies with precision strikes from above.
- Lightning Charge: Voltarion strikes foes with a lightning charge attack, clearing the path ahead in the blink of an eye.
- Instant Accel: Flash: Voltarion leaps through space, dodging obstacles and changing directions to outmaneuver enemies.
Adventurers eager to harness the power of Voltarion can embark on quests to collect the “Trace of Thunderbolt,” available through various content such as the War of the Roses, Conquest War, and more.
