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.

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.

Pearl Abyss announced more information about this year’s Black Desert Halloween events which will start October 14 on PC and October 15 on Console and will last up until the scheduled maintenance on November 10.

This year Black Desert’s development team opted for a distinct Steampunk visual style and has prepared many tricks and treats that will both frighten and rejoice adventurers around the world.

Mad Scientist Marni has built a Spooky Playground for Halloween, specially designed to send shivers up one’s spine, that includes a House of Horrors containing a chilling quest where adventurers will need to find the teddy bear of a weeping child. In their search, they will encounter ghosts and traverse other obstacles hidden in the darkness. Adventurers will need to pilot a Mischievous Jack to be able to interact with chests that contain the teddy bear. Completing the quest will reward players with special dice which are used for the mini-game Ancient Black Spirit Adventure.

Furthermore, Marni’s Spooky Playground is filled with minigames and events that will grant event items and rewards for those who can successfully complete its many challenges. Content includes:

  • This year, a new array of Halloween-themed activities will be available including a Red Light, Green Light minigame, where adventurers need to play a thrilling version of the popular children's game.
  • Near NPC Marcellin two robot-esque creatures named MOD Oog Mk IV and Mk V are fighting and adventurers can try to predict the winner and earn rewards.
  • Marni has quests leading adventurers to his hidden gifts and event dice, the latter of which can be used in a special Halloween-themed “Ancient Black Spirit’s Adventure” board game that can be played from Black Desert’s menu which can grant players even more rewards.
  • Adventurers can explore Marni's Spooky Playground and be rewarded with a Wizard Gosphy pet!
  • Halloween brings new attendance rewards that will help adventurers on their spooky adventures. The rewards include 100 Cron Stones, Halloween Cosplay Box, and Marni’s Fuel Box.

To celebrate Halloween, Pearl Abyss is treating the community with a free DLC package valued at over $35. The Halloween treat can be downloaded from Steam and the official Black Desert website. This special package includes among others [Event] Treasurable Memories Classic Box, Combat & Skill EXP 300% Scroll (60 min) x5, and Advice of Valks (+60).

For Black Desert Console players, the Special Gift Pack which includes the same costume and other useful items is still free to get on PlayStation Store and Microsoft Store. Don’t miss out on the chance to own these valuable items.
