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.

Today marks the start of the second Closed Beta sign-ups, so interested players can register here for a chance to participate in the second and final Closed Beta Test, set to begin February 18, 08:00 UTC and ends on the 22nd of February at 08:00 UTC.

Those who pre-ordered the Explorer’s or Conqueror’s package need not register and will be automatically granted access.

Players still have a few days to participate in the Beauty and The Beast contest. Daum is accepting entries for The Beast phase of the contest on the event page, where the most dreadful characters made using the Character Creator can earn their owners Beta keys, t-shirts, limited edition statues, and more.
