Amsterdam, The Netherlands — March 29, 2022 — During last weekend’s live streamed CalpheON event, Pearl Abyss has announced a brand new class and major content updates that will launch on April 6 as part of the Eternal Winter expansion.
The new character unveiled at the event is Drakania, a female class that wields the power of dragons with Slayer, a massive two-handed sword. Being a descendant of one of the legendary dragons in Black Desert Online, this heroine has an antagonistic relationship with the Guardian class which will bring forth an intriguing story around sworn enemies of ancestors. The new class can be pre-created from March 30 until April 6.
In addition to the new class, a series of future updates for existing content were announced. Balenos, one of the oldest regions in the game, will receive an improved main questline with additional cutscenes. Furthermore, throughout the game Pearl Abyss has remastered the character models and overall look of NPCs and improved several hunting grounds as a result of player feedback. Last but not least, the developers have assured that they continue to improve direct communications with the Black Desert community and that it is planning a variety of exciting in-game events that players can join to earn handsome rewards.
