In December, the MMORPG Black Desert Mobile will be released and the interest is already huge in advance. We will tell you everything you need to know about the game.
What is Black Desert Mobile? The new mobile MMORPG takes place in the world of Black Desert, which has been adapted for the experiences on smartphones.
You can move in familiar areas, meet known NPCs and bosses, but the game versions differ noticeably. In the new version, there is a dedicated camp where you can reach buildings, gather materials, and start special missions.
In return, some depth in terms of crafting and trading has been sacrificed. The number of classes and skills has also been adjusted.
All about the release, payment model, and more.
When did Black Desert Mobile release? The official release took place in Germany on December 11. In other countries, the MMORPG has been playable for a longer time.
When does the pre-load for Black Desert Mobile start? You could register in advance for the mobile game and download it on December 9, as well as set your last name. As a thank you for registering, you received Black Desert for PC for free.
Where can I download it? More than 4 million players in the West have already signed up for the mobile game. Worldwide, there are more than 9 million. You can get it in Google Play Store and in Apple’s App Store.
Can I play it in German? Yes, Black Desert Mobile will be available in German, English, French, and Spanish.
What does the MMORPG cost? Black Desert Mobile will be free-to-play. You don’t have to spend money to buy it. In the game itself, there is an item shop with cosmetic but also some problematic items that could be classified as pay-to-win.
Is Black Desert Mobile pay-to-win? You can buy costumes with additional stats and boxes with bonuses in the shop, which particularly simplify the start in the MMORPG. Additionally, you can buy in-game currency directly for real money, with a monthly maximum.
You can get an overview of the shop in this video.

How is Black Desert Mobile? We ourselves have already tested Black Desert Mobile and given a conclusion. The game looks extremely good, plays smoothly, and has a really good unique feature with the camp.
You can choose from 5 classes in character creation and have an editor that offers many options. The new trailer for the game gives you a glimpse of the character editor:
What does the mobile MMORPG offer? Besides the camp and a detailed character editor, the mobile MMORPG offers:
- A nice UI
- A rewarding achievement system
- Many areas and tasks
- 5 professions that you can learn and master
- Instanced fights in boss rushes reminiscent of dungeons
- PvP and guild fights
What disadvantages does the game have? Besides the pay-to-win aspect, the automated combat is also a problem. As a result, Black Desert is more of a simulation than a true MMORPG. Generally, some aspects like crafting or trading are significantly reduced compared to the PC version.
Additionally, the game consumes relatively much battery on your smartphone while in use.
