The Korean MMORPG Black Desert gets the Ninja as a new class. Existing classes will also likely receive secondary weapons.
It has been evident for some time that the Ninja would come to Black Desert. After all, the female version has already been released. Genre-typical, the Ninja will be a “Burst” class, striking from stealth and trying to send opponents to the afterlife as quickly as possible before engaging in a longer fight. The Ninja is meant to be more suited for veterans due to its challenging controls.
At the same time, there was a class in contention that can use a “Big Sword.” However, it likely won’t be its own class; instead, the Warrior, originally trained with sword and shield, can use the Big Sword as an alternative weapon. This could be a skill that only experienced warriors learn over time.
In gameplay terms, Black Desert plans to soon expand the desert zone Valencia. In phase 2, a coastal region will be added. In phase 3, marine trade, pirate ships, battles on ships, and the discovery of a new continent, a new region Kamasivia, are on the agenda.
Furthermore, PvE enemies for groups are set to come, and there are plans for large underground dungeons. The Ninja is expected to arrive in September, while the other game systems are planned for fall/winter.
