BLACK DESERT ON CONSOLE RECEIVES HUGE FREE MARGORIA EXPANSION TODAY, DOUBLING THE GAME WORLD SIZE
- Biggest content update to date, doubles Black Desert’s territory size
- Explore a perilous open ocean and claim its many rewards
- Setup and defend new trade routes
Seoul, South Korea – 10th June, 2020: Pearl Abyss announced today that Black Desert’s naval-focused expansion, Margoria is available now for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. This brand new free expansion marks the biggest content update for consoles yet and introduces a host of new exciting activities.
The already expansive world that is Black Desert will get a huge ocean, the Margoria Ocean which lies North-West of the mainland and doubles the game’s territorial size. A new harbor connects to the new territory and serves as a starting point for seafaring adventures worldwide. The Margoria Expansion will introduce new activities such as ship construction, sea monster hunting and treasure diving. Furthermore, players can look forward to new quests that progress the main story and PvP fans can embark on guild-versus-guild naval combat of the grandest scale―the best way to establish dominance over the new available trade routes.
Adventurers who manually sail their ships across the Great Ocean can earn Sailing experience, which can be used to master other, more complex sea vessels. Players can now swim and dive underwater to collect new materials like Giant Pearl Oysters, which in turn can be crafted into accessories that can help sailors on their travels.
Swashbucklers should not only worry about the many monstrosities that lurk in the Margorian seas, but also boat sinking Typhoons. Legends even speak about a haunted Phantom Ship that terrorises these waters. Navigation in itself is difficult as players are finding themselves in uncharted territory and cannot rely on a map and therefore have to resort to the mini-map and use that as a compass. The many perils that Margoria harbour are offset by new rewards and valuables that can be obtained, so it is definitely worth the risk to explore these wide open seas.
