Pearl Abyss :

Manhattan Beach, CA – September 5, 2024 – Korean developer and publisher Pearl Abyss, creators of the world-renowned Black Desert MMORPG franchise, has launched the 'Black Desert X Berserk' collaboration update today.

The collaboration with the renowned manga Berserk kicks off today and runs through September 19. Adventurers from all global regions on both PC and consoles can join in on the collaboration content.


The collaboration introduces costumes based on the Berserk IP, featuring four distinct types: ‘Guts Berserker Armor’, ‘Griffith Armor A/B’ and ‘Schierke’s Garb’. The 'Guts Berserker Armor' is available for all male classes, while the Warrior class can equip the 'Guts Dragon Slayer Pack', which includes the signature 'Guts Dragon Slayer' weapon. The 'Griffith Armor' is available for female classes in two versions, A and B, and the ‘Schierke’s Garb’ is available for the Shai class.

During the event period, special collaboration event quests will be available. Completing these quests will reward players with the ‘[Event] Behelit Alchemy Stone’ and the ‘Everything is Within the Flows of Causality’ title.

The 'Nosferatu Zodd' from Berserk will appear as a world boss in Black Desert. 'Zodd' has both a human form, wielding a longsword and battle ax, and a demon form with bull horns, bat wings, and claws. In Black Desert, the demon form of Zodd will appear as a world boss at specific times each day. Defeating Zodd will grant players the ‘Behelit Alchemy Stone’.

In addition, a new collaboration alchemy stone skin, 'Crimson Behelit Alchemy Stone Appearance', is also being introduced. This item can be reformed with ‘Vell’s Heart’ to create a ‘Behelit’s Heart’.

Berserk is a dark fantasy manga by the late Kentaro Miura. Published since 1989, it has sold over 50 million copies globally and remains a highly acclaimed work. Its immense popularity has led to adaptations in various forms, including TV animations, feature films, and numerous video games.
