Pearl Abyss and Kakao Games have announced today that Black Desert Online will receive a brand new expansion named Drieghan. This update will feature a large mountainous area, over 300 challenging quests, fresh nodes to conquer and a new menacing dragon boss called Garmoth.
Drieghan will launch later this year as a free update and will be playable for the very first time during this year’s EGX game show which takes place between the 20th and 23rd of September in Birmingham. Kakao Games is partnering with ESL, the world’s largest independent esports company, to provide visitors with a unique first look into this exciting new content. Black Desert Online’s Drieghan expansion is playable on 40 high-end Alienware PCs at the ESL Arena powered by Intel, the biggest activation during the EGX game show.
