Pearl Abyss just dropped a truckload of announcements at Heidel Ball 2025, and Black Desert Mobile players, you’re in for one hell of a summer. We’re talking sizzling seasonal rewards, a myth-drenched Seoul expansion, a blade-slinging new class, sweaty PvP tournaments, AND a global marketplace merge. Let’s break it down.
Summer Season Starts July 22: Get Buff, Look Good
On July 22, the Summer Season kicks off with boosted progression and shiny rewards. Graduate the season, and you’ll score the Secrua Crystal, a +50 AP/DP flex piece that can go all the way to Eternal Grade. Bonus: higher grades boost item drop rates by up to 5%. Who says you can’t have power and drip?
Land of the Morning Light: Seoul (Aug 5): Myth Meets Mayhem
Pack your bags — we’re heading to Seoul. This massive expansion dives into the capital city’s folklore, with new characters, stories, and four extra Tale Collections to nerd out over. Expect fresh mystery, gorgeous backdrops, and, yes, even more reasons to spam screenshots.
Black Shrine Bosses & Combat Tag System (Aug 5): Tag, You’re Screwed
Three new Black Shrine bosses are crashing the party: Samsin, Bulgasal, and Uturi. With fancy new mechanics like HP-based reinforcements and a Combat Tag System that lets you swap family characters mid-fight, boss battles are about to hit a whole new level of sweaty.
Martial God Tournament (Aug 5): PvP Goes Pro
Wave goodbye to Hero of Karkea and hello to the Martial God Tournament. This PvP overhaul brings Spar, Championship, and Duo modes, all tuned to standard monster zone rules. Pearl Abyss also teased official esports-style tourneys coming soon — time to sharpen those grabs.
New Class: Seonin (Aug 5): Elemental, Elegant, Deadly
Enter Seonin, the yin-yang master with an Enlightened Blade and Elemental Orbs. This class bends fire, water, metal, earth, and wood into flashy AoE carnage with smooth, dance-like moves. PvE or PvP, Seonin’s got the looks and the muscle.
Atoraxxion: Sycrakea (Aug 12): Underwater Raid Chaos
The co-op dungeon series returns with Sycrakea, an underwater nightmare with five stages, environmental hazards, and a giant crab-thing called Centilutos. Bring friends, bring strategy, and maybe bring a towel.
Summer Getaway Outfit (Aug 12): Swimsuit Season Strikes Again
What’s summer without swimwear? The Summer Getaway outfit drops August 12, adding a second swimsuit-themed set to the game. Yes, Seonin and Deadeye get to flex too.
Twisted Nightmare: Capital (Aug 19): PvE, PvP, One Big Mess
Seoul’s nightmare zone arrives August 19, mixing PvE waves with PvP chaos. Fight through hordes, smack Bulgasal in the face, hoard Nightmare Fragments, and unlock the new Relic Memory Imprint system.
Merge Market (Sept 9): Global Trade, Baby
On September 9, the in-game Marketplace merges NA, EU, and Asia servers into one mega-market. Expect better prices, faster trades, and fancy new tools like Price Trend Graphs, Market History, and Favorites. Finally, world economy chaos you’ll actually enjoy.
