A leak about Black Desert Online reveals a potential new class that is set to appear in the future. The Monkey King Wukong is said to be the next class in the MMORPG’s lineup according to data miners.
This class is about: The legend of the Monkey King Sun Wukong is likely known to many in Europe, as Wukong has been reinterpreted as a character in popular series like Dragon Ball or used in games like League of Legends.
Data miners have apparently unearthed a new class in Black Desert Online that bears the name of the legendary king. It will (logically) be a purely male class. While Wukong was discovered a few weeks ago, there are now additional details about it.
According to leaks, Wukong uses a staff as a weapon, which resembles the Bo staff of the Tamer. However, Wukong’s staff is meant to be his primary weapon, unlike that of the Tamer.
As a secondary weapon, the new class is said to utilize a traditional Chinese jar. In the picture, you can see the jar on Wukong’s belt. Such jars typically have a narrowing in the middle, wrapped with a rope for easier transport.
The exact way Wukong will use the jar as a weapon is not known. However, under the video of the leak, some fans speculate that he will drink during combat to become stronger.
This is what fans say: There are currently not many reactions from the community regarding Wukong. Among the BDO fans who have expressed their opinions, views are divided.
Some players find the images and information from the leak cool, and for certain players taking a break, Wukong would even be a reason to restart with BDO. These fans would especially love it if he could fly on a golden cloud just like in the legend.
- “I mean, if this comes out soon, I will definitely break my BDO break and restart with the Monkey King.” – GreenGiant7788 on reddit
- “If this is real and it doesn’t have an extendable staff and a cloud to fly around, I will be very disappointed.” – ex0ner90 on reddit.
However, another part of the players is not happy about the prospect of a new class with Wukong, while others could really use a revision. Especially the Tamer has been frequently mentioned in the comments.
Some have also expressed concerns that the class will be too strong, and that it won’t be fun to play against Wukong in PvP.
- “Another OP class that will make the reworked classes look ridiculous […].” – Yaj Romalliv on YouTube.
- “Oh yes, another class is exactly what players need lol” – Visor Overwatch on YouTube.
However, keep in mind that this is just a leak. There is no guarantee that the class will appear as it is shown in the screenshots. It is also unclear whether it will even receive a release in the West and on PC. Enjoy the info with a pinch of healthy skepticism.
