Black Desert Online developer Pearl Abyss announced its 2021 Black Desert Online roadmap, including a brand new player class, the Corsair.

The roadmap, alongside a closer look at the upcoming co-op dungeon Atoraxxion, was announced during Pearl Abyss’ Heidel Ball community event last weekend.

New Player Class - The Corsair

The seafaring swordswoman Corsair uses her oceanic power to crush her enemies. Her combat style takes inspiration from the waves of the sea - unpredictable, powerful, and stylish. Since she is a pirate and commander of the sea, Corsaircan also swim faster and stay underwater longer than any other class.

Corsair’s main weapon is Serenaca, a ‘composite sword’ that extends in length, especially lethal when combined with her innate agility. Her sub-weapon is Mareca, a magical orb that grants her the ability to transform into a mermaid and crash into her enemies with the full force of a powerful tsunami. Corsair will be released globally on June 29 for PC, console, and mobile, but players can pre-create their new character on Wednesday, June 23.

Atoraxxion

Atoraxxion, Black Desert Online’s first co-op dungeon, will be coming to both PC and console. The dungeon is divided into four parts, and its first wing, Vahmalkea, will be released on July 21. The remaining three parts, called Sycrakea, Yolunakea, and Orzekea, are coming later this year.

Filled with epic monster battles, thought-provoking puzzles, and an in-depth exploration of the lore and story of Black Desert’s world, Atoraxxion will offer playersa traditional and classic RPG experience combined with all the features that define Black Desert Online.

  • Lahn waltzes across the lands with elegance, fending off her foes with poise and her Crescent Pendulum and Noble Sword.

  • Solaris swings her enormous weapon Jordun, effortlessly overwhelming every enemy that dares oppose her.
• Muraka, the King of Ogres: A new multi-channel boss that Adventurers on all channels will fight together, earning rewards based on the amount of damage each player deals to Muraka.
