“Pearl Abyss today launched the free-to-play open-world action MMORPG, Black Desert Mobile, now available globally on iOS and Android devices. Black Desert Mobile generated a strong player response with more than 4.5M pre-registrations following successful launches in Korea, Japan, Taiwan and the recent soft-launch in seven additional countries. Features include action-packed combat, a deep character customization system, and high graphical fidelity based on Pearl Abyss’ proprietary engine. The Black Desert franchise has more than 20 million players on PC, Xbox One, PlayStation®4 and mobile platforms.”

This is groundbreaking mobile game design.”
