Pearl Abyss just released an updated roadmap today for Black Desert Online. Their MMORPG still seems to be going strong and so that means it's still getting regular updates. This new roadmap should outline some of the major content and features that will be released to players in the coming months.

Some of the new content includes new areas being added to the game. There will also be new mounts added of the fire variety. New weapons and a "new PvE experience" are also coming.

Right now, there is no set release date announced for any of the following...

The new battle royale mode for Black Desert Online entered into early access today. After today's regular maintenance period, players of the popular MMORPG will get their first taste of the Shadow Arena. Access is granted to everyone that owns the game and those that are making use of the game's 7-day free trial.

The tests will be set at specific times and will have limited capacity. You're apparently supposed to check out the Black Desert Online site and associated social media channels for when those play times will take place because they didn't inform us about them in...

The Archer is now playable in Black Desert Online. This makes for the game's 17th class and one that we talked a little bit about earlier this month.

You can score yourself a free copy of Black Desert Online, the popular MMORPG from Pearl Abyss and Kakao Games. Of course, there is a bit of a catch here. In order to earn a free copy of the game, you need to complete the "7-day trial challenge." The challenge tasks you with getting a character to level 56 over the course of their free 7-day trial. If you do it before your trial expires, you get the game for free. It's just the starter package valued at $9.99 (USD), but it's still a free copy of the game that you can keep permanently. I just have to wonder how many people will feel a bit burnt out after rushing through 56 levels in under seven...

Despite their MMORPG not being that old, that isn't stopping developer Pearl Abyss from putting together a remaster of Black Desert Online. Appropriately, it's going to be called Black Desert: Remastered. I bet you didn't see that one coming, did you?
