MMO Culture: "As I reached the venue for ChinaJoy 2014, my first target was head right to the booth of Korean developer Pearl Abyss, whose upcoming free-to-play game Black Desert is making waves around the world. I posted a few quick questions to Mr Brian Oh, Director of Overseas Business, to find out more."
Black Desert Online is celebrating its 8th birthday with a handful of major milestones since the game Korean launch in 2014.
Today Pearl Abyss hosted its traditional Calpheon Ball news livestream, and the developer of Black Desert certainly had a lot to share.
I'm shocked it's coming to the Xbox consoles, just seems a waste or money and time for little in return.
Well, you shouldn't. Black Desert is already available on the Xbox One, and thanks to Microsoft's streamlined game SKU management, it's highly probable that the developers simply have to press a button to make it a native port. The one that will need more time and money is the Playstation version, that will likely need a completely new SKU for the native version to work.

Only the reality, unfortunately. Sony did an excellent job on the PS5 software, but they didn't put the same effort into the PSN. The way the system handles licenses is terrible.
The seasonal end date has been removed.
I was very interested in Black Desert until I started seeing the Glory of ArchAge.
I think Black Desert PvP is still superior to ArcheAge but AA offers up a ton of things to do besides questing.
Both great MMo's and Black Deserts graphics got much better.
NICE!
