May 10, 2023



Manhattan Beach, CA — May 10, 2023 — Popular Korean publisher and developer Pearl Abyss introduced a new global trailer today for Land of the Morning Light, its first large-scale content expansion to Black Desert Online for 2023. Coming to North America and Europe in June, Land of the Morning Light is a new mythical continent that is filled with light and dark dichotomies: moral fables of action and consequence, likable and troublesome characters, day and night cycles, and light and dark forces.


The new trailer showcases the bright side of the Land of the Morning Light, featuring breathtaking landscapes, traditional architecture of the time, and unique vegetation that are reminiscent of the Joseon period, the last dynastic kingdom of Korea.

More intriguing details for the upcoming expansion will be unveiled on a weekly basis.
