Black Desert Remastered expands the game with better graphics and a more beautiful soundtrack. Players can enjoy the big update this week.
The Black Desert Remastered update beautifies the graphics of the MMO. Additionally, a newly composed soundtrack aims to enhance immersion. Pearl Abyss has put in a lot of effort for the update and wants to remain among the “prettiest” MMOs.
Update is free for everyone
New features are not a must: Players do not have to pay anything for the new soundtrack and the enhanced graphics. Those who do not wish to use the improved graphics can continue to play Black Desert as usual. The new update simply adds new options. All players benefit from the new sound effects.
When does Remastered come out? On August 22, it will be ready. The new update will be applied then. Particularly impatient players who are on the test servers can already try out the new update.

Do I need a new graphics card for better graphics? Anyone wishing to use the new effects should have hardware for the graphic settings at a very high level.
The following system requirements are recommended to play Black Desert optimally:
Processor: Intel Core i5-650 3.2GHz
RAM: 8GB
Graphics Card: NVIDIA GTX 970, AMD RX 480
