With the deepest character customization of any game currently on the market, Black Desert 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.

Travel through the lands in search of treasure and adventure or become one of the top craftsmen in the land. Set up trade routes and breed horses or compete against other guilds in epic siege warfare.

Black Desert on PS4 will be in Beta testing from Aug. 9 (12 A.M. PDT - 7 A.M. UTC) until August 13 (2 A.M. PDT - 9 A.M. UTC), in preparation for launch on Aug. 22, 2019.

The Beta is available to play without a PlayStation Plus subscription, and all participants that sign up for the Beta will receive an exclusive Sky Hawk pet at launch, allowing players to loot items, increase Knowledge Gain Chance and find rare monsters. All player data will reset at the end of the event.

As a free download, players are invited to join the adventure to become their true selves. Black Desert is available for pre-order with Standard ($29.99 USD), Deluxe ($49.99 USD) and Ultimate ($99.99 USD) Editions, which offers various in-game rewards.

For Adventurers playing Black Desert on Xbox One, a new free content update is now available, allowing the Ninja to Awaken true skills and abilities.
