Inspired by Ready Player One: The event is inspired by “Ready Player One”. Here, people search for treasure in a “virtual world” to then enjoy eternal bliss in the real world.
Atmospheric trailer builds hype for the event

The search for treasure. In line with the announcement of the event, Kakao Games released a trailer that sets the tone for the upcoming adventures. A new location, a mysterious map, and a strange box are shown.
Perhaps players will go on a treasure hunt during the event. After all, there are many caves in Black Desert where something could be well hidden.
Will Black Desert perhaps get loot boxes? Fans on Reddit are already joking that Pearl Abyss will finally introduce loot boxes into the game with the big summer update.
