“Last week, Black Desert Online was updated with enhanced visuals and a newly recorded orchestral score to provide the most immersive in-game experience possible,” the studio says. “As a result, Black Desert Online has seen an average week-over-week increase of 103.6% in returning players and a 24.2% increase in new player acquisition across NA/EU regions.”
The press release does not mention the latest pay-to-win controversy unleashed with this week’s update in the west. PA Executive Producer Jae Hee Kim says his studio is “highly motivated to keep the game current and up-to-date by continuing to develop exciting new content while striving for continuous improvements and optimizations”; indeed, work continues right now on the upcoming Drieghan expansion for the western regions.
