The dataminers have been diligent and have already extracted the German intro from the game files of Black Desert. Check out how the translation looks here.
The accident with the Elision Stone
The Closed Beta 2 (CBT2) of Black Desert begins on February 18, but the dataminers have already delved into the game files and uncovered some interesting things. Part of this is the introduction sequence that introduces you to the game world of Black Desert – this is now available with German subtitles. Some translations are still a bit questionable, and particularly with “Elision Stone” it sends a chill down the spine, but at least this whole thing is still in beta.
The intro provides a brief introduction to the game world and tells the story of the central trading city of Goma Naru. A lively place where trade and the hustle and bustle of everyday life prevail and where there is basically no danger – until now. An trading ship brought the so-called “Elision Stone” to the city, an ancient artifact with sinister powers. The inevitable happens: The power of the stone is unleashed and the locals are consumed by dark forces.
The dataminer Sweetdeal claims to have unearthed a few more details. The language of the game can be set in an additional menu, but the various chat channels are independent of that. Playing in German but hanging out in English chats is not a problem. He also suspects from the translation that there will be megaservers. All these statements should be taken with caution. Until there is an official statement from the developers, this is primarily one thing: speculation.
Update: Yep, it looks like this will be our intro. Daum has just released the English version as the official story intro on Youtube.
