Black Desert Is Heading To PS4, Mobile Version Comes To The West Soon!

The famous Korean MMORPG game Black Desert is heading to PlayStation 4 after making a huge success with PC and Xbox One. The developer Pearl Abyss also reaffirmed that they are bringing the mobile version of the game to the West as well.

The announcement was made with a short teaser trailer, which you can see below:

The expected move from Pearl Abyss to broaden Black Desert player base

In E3 2019, the Korean developer Pearl Abyss announced that their highly popular MMORPG Black Desert is ultimately making its way to PS4. Additionally, it also took this opportunity to confirm the global release of its mobile counterpart - Black Desert Online.

Android and iOS users can get the global version of game soon!

The PS4 version of the game will feature revamp graphics, control, and audio. Pearl Abyss has tweaked some parts in the user interface to help console players control more easily. The creator said that they want to provide PS4 users with the UI "created specifically for a fluid, responsive console experience", and 4k resolution for PS4 Pro as well.

Initially coming into spotlights in 2015, the massive MMO has gained a lot of attention. Later, the game made its appearance on Xbox One in March of this year, and the mobile version is also available at certain regions. With those three already support platforms, the game has boasted over 20 million players.

That was already a great number, and to raise it up, the developer has to make a bold move. Bringing the game to PS4 is certainly not a surprising move, but a necessary and wise one from Pearl Abyss to further extend the game's popularity. After all, PS4 is among the most popular platforms (if not the most popular), and it can surely meet Black Desert's needs.

Tentative release date

There hasn't been any official statement from the developer on the release date of Black Desert Online's PS4 debut yet. However, Pearl Abyss announced that the PS4 version will come out at some time this year.

Additionally, to please the long-awaited PS4 owners, the developer will allow them to pre-order the game on July 2nd. The gift for people who pre-order the game is the ticket to get early access to the full game, and bonus in-game rewards as well.
