Pearl Abyss | During the holiday break, Pearl Abyss’ Black Desert Mobile team was hard at work on a significant update aimed at addressing veteran players’ need for greater challenges. The Great Desert: Shahzad invites top-tier players back to the desert region to take on a rigorous new difficulty level filled with tougher monsters, higher-stake rewards, and a faster way to travel.
Great Desert: Shahzad
Now, in addition to the easiest level (Imur) and mid-range level (Torme), top-end players will experience Shahzad, enabling them to battle with other adventurers and face tougher monsters yielding greater riches and rewards. Players also can obtain rare items by meeting a wandering merchant or searching for buried treasure chests.
Dream Horse: Diné
Adventurers can do all that while travelling faster. Diné, a beautiful white horse with a golden mane, is the game’s second Doom Horse. Diné speeds across the terrain far faster than the current elephant and camel options. Players can use Quantum Jump to teleport when interacting with a Black Rock Shrine in the desert.
Rune Enhancements
Lastly, for the first time in its three-year history across the entire game (not just the desert), players can enhance the runes they’ve collected to power up even more.
Following the year-end Calpheon Ball, Black Desert Mobile also celebrated its three-year anniversary in mid-December. Since launch, the mobile MMO has seen more than 21 million characters created and 40 classes released. The game started its fourth year strong by adding the Great Desert: Shahzad region expansion, the Dream Horse: Diné mount, and other gameplay updates on Wednesday, December 28.
“Thanks to our Adventurers, we have grown, expanded, and had so much fun together in just three years,” said Pearl Abyss’ development team spokesperson. “We’re looking forward to 2023 and can’t wait to see you in-game!”
