In the South Korean sandpark MMORPG Black Desert, a female version of the Blader, an Eastern sword fighter, has surprisingly been released as the eighth class.
Originally, the Wizard was planned as the new eighth class, but now the “Female Blader” is being added instead. According to reports, it is a standalone class that, while related to the “Blader” and sharing some skills, also sets its own unique accents.
Everything is a bit strange in Black Desert at the moment. At least we do not know whether these “new classes” are a sign that the gender lock is being lifted, or at least acknowledging that there might be a problem with it in other regions. Or if they will stick with the current path and just keep introducing new classes.
For the Wizard, images of both a female and a male version have appeared. We will see whether these are the “same class in our Western sense” or if they are actually two very similar but ultimately different classes.
In any case, there is now an eighth class in Black Desert, which was probably not expected so soon.
