The world of Black Desert Online has been divided into two countries, the Republic of Calpheon and the Kingdom of Valencia, who compete for the Black Stone, an essential energy resource. While both games share the classes, stylish combat, locations and a hefty part of the storyline, there are substantial differences, some of them driven by the limitations of mobile devices, but others clearly designed to deliver new challenges for Black Desert newcomers and veterans alike.īlack Desert Black Desert Online is an MMORPG by Pearl Abyss. The answer is the rather ambiguous yes, but not quite. The most pressing question right now is probably if Black Desert Mobile is the same game as Black Desert Online. Black Desert Mobile may be on the forefront of a new wave of good mobile MMOs that could also include Blade and Soul 2 and Aion 2, but we’re getting ahead of ourselves. Nonetheless, Pearl Abyss rolled up its sleeves and got to work, its confidence boosted by the commendable player base of the PC game and the lack of full-fledged MMORPGs on mobile. Porting Black Desert Online to portable devices is far from an enviable task.
