Pearl Abyss, the Korean developer behind the global massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) Black Desert Online, has announced its 2021 Black Desert Online roadmap, including a brand new player class, the Corsair. The roadmap, alongside a closer look at the upcoming co-op dungeon Atoraxxion, was announced during Pearl Abyss’ Heidel Ball community event last weekend that has reached over 500,000 viewers across Twitch and YouTube.
New player class – The Corsair
The seafaring swordswoman Corsair uses her oceanic power to crush her enemies. Her combat style takes inspiration from the waves of the sea – unpredictable, powerful, and stylish. Since she is a pirate and commander of the sea, Corsair can also swim faster and stay underwater longer than any other class.
Corsair’s main weapon is Serenaca, a ‘composite sword’ that extends in length, especially lethal when combined with her innate agility. Her sub-weapon is Mareca, a magical orb that grants her the ability to transform into a mermaid and crash into her enemies with the full force of a powerful tsunami. Corsair is available to play now.
New co-op dungeon – Atoraxxion
Atoraxxion, Black Desert Online’s first co-op dungeon, will be coming to both PC and console. The dungeon is divided into four parts, and its first wing, Vahmalkea, will be released on 21 July. The remaining three parts, called Sycrakea, Yolunakea, and Orzekea, are coming later this year.
Filled with epic monster battles, thought-provoking puzzles, and an in-depth exploration of the lore and story of Black Desert’s world, Atoraxxion will offer players a traditional and classic RPG experience combined with all the features that define Black Desert Online.
