Black Desert Online Awarded Best MMORPG of the Year

Black Desert Online, developed by Pearl Abyss, was awarded the Best MMORPG of the Year during the Thailand Game Awards ceremony at the Thailand Game Show 2018 (TGS 2018).

          The Thailand Game Awards is held every year as part of TGS 2018 to recognize outstanding game companies for quality game content and service, and Black Desert Online took home the prestigious title of Best MMORPG of the Year.

          Black Desert Online first launched in Thailand at the beginning of 2018, and just after 10 months, Black Desert Online is one of the most widely played massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPGs) in the region. The game is famous for its advanced customization system, industry-leading graphics, advanced action play and expansive open world.

          Just one week after developers gave the game a complete graphics and audio remaster on August 23, the number of new and returning users increased 600% and 243%, respectively, and the number of daily active users (DAU) went up 20% from the previous week.

          "On behalf of the Pearl Abyss team, I would like to say thank you to our Thai Adventurers who actively play our game, as well as those who came out to support us at TGS 2018," stated Pearl Abyss Head of Business Youngchul Ham. "We've come to learn and appreciate so much about Southeast Asia during our 10 months of service in the region. We look forward to adding more exciting game contents and continually growing with our Adventurers."
