A new trailer for the sandbox MMO Black Desert, this time from the Russian publisher, gives viewers a look at the impressive world of the Korea MMO.
In May of this year, Black Desert found a distribution partner for the Russian market: GameNet will publish the game. An initial beta is expected to start by the end of the year, with a final beta phase beginning in early 2015. We in Europe and North America can only envy the Russians for such a timeline: Our first beta phase is expected to start in 2015, the publisher here seems to rely on an Asian beta model, with a release in the West likely not before early 2016.
The Russian Black Desert seems to be heading its own way anyway. According to mmosite, GameNet plans to offer both free-to-play and pay-to-play servers with different PvE and PvP settings. That seems to be getting interesting.
The trailer – accompanied by a very masculine Russian voice – provides a glimpse into the open world of Black Desert. Unlike Western MMOs, there are no dungeons or instances here, and bosses can also be found in the open world.
