JUST FOR BLACK DESERT ONLINE

Showcasing the PC game’s seven-year and 2022 highlights, Pearl Abyss created an infographic  featuring updated player achievements, pet and monster statistics, in-game favorites, and more.  In 2022, North American and European players loved Black Desert Online in a multitude of ways: Their favorite class was Dark Knight; they chose the Kuku bird as the most owned pet, and hunted down the Centaurus Axeman more than any other monster. And there are more than 8 million characters currently on the North American and European servers! See the infographic below for more.

There’s even more to celebrate with the highly anticipated PC expansion “Land of the Morning Light” coming this year (look for more details soon)! The new Korean folklore-inspired region is full of unique bosses and storylines, alluring territory to explore, and rewards that combine to make it one of Black Desert Online’s biggest expansions of 2023.

“We are thrilled so many Adventurers have joined Black Desert since our sixth anniversary," said Jaehee Kim, Executive Producer of Black Desert. "Over the last year, we have discovered interesting insights into our Adventurers' preferences and we are happy to share these through our infographic today.” For instance, their favorite day to play is Sunday, 76,000 treasure items have been crafted, and Stormbringer Karanda was responsible for the most deaths among our Adventurers.

"It is highlights like these that inspire us to dream up new and unique gameplay experiences,” added Kim. “As we move forward, we are dedicated to strengthening our growing community by offering them beautiful new adventures, such as the upcoming Land of the Morning Light."
