Special Contest and Activities Announced as Black Desert Online Nears Release

After over two years of testing, tweaking and tuning, Black Desert is now ready to be unleashed to the world. Pearl Abyss’ MMO will be celebrating with a number of launch events and contests ahead of the launch next month.

“We have been overwhelmed by the massive support for Black Desert Online,” said Min Kim, CEO of Daum Games Europe. “It was incredible to see so many players start digging into what the game has to offer during the Closed Beta tests, and their responses have been extremely valuable. We are very thankful for the help and we can’t wait for everyone to experience the full game when it launches next week.”

There are three special contests that are taking place at launch time. These begin on launch day and will run until 22nd of March:

• And the Oscar goes to… - Upload a Black Desert Online music video to YouTube using the game’s original score and BGM. The best entries will win limited edition Black Spirit statues and T-shirts.
• Get movin! - Take a selfie of your character on any form of transportation. Rewards include various in-game items.
• One for all and all for one - Take a screenshot with your guildmates. Rewards include various in-game items.

More information about rules and prizes will be revealed soon on the official forums. You can pick up the game from 3rd March, unless you were a pre-order customer, in which case you get a head start of 96 hours.
