'Black Desert Online' Rolls Out Valencia Expansion Part 2, Warrior Awakening Update

by Rainier on Aug. 31, 2016 @ 8:14 a.m. PDT

Black Desert Online is an open-world action MMORPG with next-generation visuals and skill-based combat that rejuvenates the genre.

With the deepest character customization of any game currently on the market, Black Desert Online allows for unprecedented detail in character creation. Its intuitive controls, beautifully designed world, and extensive lore will enthrall both newcomers and veterans of MMO games and action RPGs.

The upcoming Western release will differ in many ways from the already launched Russian and Korean services, such as the game's balancing, progression and monetization model.

With the Valencia Part Two Expansion, players will be able to journey to Muiquun, the Land of Outlaws. This abandoned town, in the middle of the Cantusa Desert, is rumored to be the home of the infamous Muiquun gang and other lawbreakers, who drove Muiqunn’s original inhabitants away. Players looking for a safer area in the desert regions can stop by Arehaza, a small fishing community located east of the Great Valencian Desert, which has a port where adventurers can trade goods or transport supplies.

In addition to new regions to explore, players can face off against Karanda the Harpy Queen, or gather their friends and explore the outdoor dungeons Aakman Temple and Hystria Ruins. These dungeons will test players’ strength and cooperation as they prepare for an assault unlike anything they have ever experienced before.

Two new world bosses will be added as part of Valencia Part II in September. The colossal Desert Dragon Nouver and the massive sandworm Kutum who are lurking beneath the sand dunes. 

The Warrior class Awakening will also be making its debut today. After level 55, all Warriors will be able to unlock the Greatsword, pushing their combat to the next level. The Greatsword will not replace the Warrior’s Sword and Shield, but instead introduce a more destructive aspect to their typically defensive fighting style, offering a seamless transition between the two.
