Explore a rich lore and cultural inspirations in this new expansion
Black Desert Online: Land of the Morning Light is an adventure game and an exciting action-packed expansion that takes you to a new region in the world of BDO. Located on the Haso Continent, it unveils the land beyond Port Ratt, a previously known town, and introduces you to the homeland of the Musa, Maehwa, and Lahn classes.
The inspiration for Black Desert Online: Land of the Morning Light draws from the rich history of the Joseon Dynasty, the last dynastic kingdom of Korea. You can finally explore the vast and captivating region that’s approximately the same size as Kamaslyvia.
Fresh gameplay and storytelling
In Black Desert Online: Land of the Morning Light, you will encounter various references and places inspired by real locations in Korea, adding a touch of authenticity to the experience. Notably, near Dalbeol Village, you can stumble upon Dol Hareubang statues, reminiscent of the ones found on Jeju Island. These statues, believed to bring protection and fertility, present an excellent opportunity for you to immerse yourself.
Alongside the vast and breathtaking setting, the entirety of the expansion introduces new races to the game. The first among them is the Horang, resembling the Fadus from Kamaslyvia. Additionally, you will encounter the Hare and Tortoise Folk, akin to the Otter and Papu races. These new races bring fresh perspectives and unique characteristics, further enriching the diverse world of BDO.
In a departure from linear storytelling, adventurers will be responsible for seeking information and deciding which paths to explore based on their findings. For example, by gathering information from the town about a liver-eating monster, you can uncover the identity of the Gumiho and solve the case. However, the inclusion of new races may require players to familiarize themselves with unique abilities and mechanics, which can be overwhelming for newcomers.
Captivating
Black Desert Online: Land of the Morning Light opens up a world of adventure and exploration, allowing players to delve into the beauty and mystery of a region inspired by the Joseon Dynasty. With its vast landscapes, new races, and branching narrative, this expansion promises a captivating experience that will immerse players in the wonders of this new and captivating expansion.
