Yesterday, we got some fresh news on updates coming concerning Black Desert Online. This news is an all-in-one package of word on an upcoming beta, a new region, the new Tamer class, and more. Ready? Set. Go!
Daum Games announced that the beta will begin on Wednesday, December 16 at 7AM (UTC) and will end on December 22 at the same time. Testers will get to pick from the Warrior, Sorceress, Berserker, Ranger, Wizard, and the new Tamer class.
Calpheon will be a new region in the beta and will contain a major city of the same name. They say that the largely rural area will be "Black Desert Online's most expansive, promising magnificent landscapes." On top of the new class and region, a few details were revealed on what has changed since the alpha stage a few weeks back.
If you're interested, you can pre-order Black Desert Online and read a rather comprehensive FAQ about the beta, pre-ordering, and the game itself over at the Black Desert Online website.
In case you missed it, here are Total Gaming Network's impressions and gameplay footage from the previous alpha test.

With the support of Heilang, the divine beast, Tamers can perform ruthless combination attacks or take enemies down on their own, by borrowing divine forces. Though innocent at heart, Tamers are able to channel their passion into a powerful fury that will sweep past any obstacle.
