Black Desert asks the question: What if we made an MMO expansion and didn't invite any monsters?

Black Desert Online has been around since 2014, and has been enchanting players with its limitless progression, fighting-game style combat, and gigantic roster of playable classes.

What the studio hasn't done, however, is release an expansion focused more on story than on having tons of monsters to grind. Until now.

Land of the Morning Light is the new update for BDO, out June 14. It features a brand new continent, found far to the northwest of the lands currently occupied by heroes grinding just a few more blood wolves before bedtime. It's inspired heavily by Korean myths and medieval culture, and developer Pearl Abyss hopes that global players who've been exposed to more Korean media over the last few years like Squid Game, The Glory, and BTS will find it both familiar and intriguing.

You'll find lots of new things on the island, like Korean goblins called dokkaebi and new manors to decorate. What you won't find are zones packed with monsters, at least in the overworld. The expansion is organized into eight questlines that you can explore in any order, each tied to a new boss for you to fight. Instead of being sent on fetch quests to grab 15 weasel whatsits and 10 goblin gubbins, you'll follow each quest as it explores the island and a bit of Korean folklore. After you uncover the secrets of the fox spirit Gumiho or the Golden Pig King, you'll be able to challenge them in battle and then move on to the next questline.

These all culminate in the final quests for the
