검은사막 Black Desert

On July 25 (local time), Pearl Abyss hosted the ‘2026 Black Desert Heidel Ball in SoCal,’ a user event for its PC MMORPG ‘Black Desert,’ in Irvine, California. The event was held to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Black Desert’s service in North America and Europe, with approximately 250 local players in attendance.

In addition to the main stage featuring various announcements, the event offered plenty of activities for the adventurers in attendance. The venue, themed after the Terrmian Festival, featured Nerf gun target practice and hammer games, and it wasn’t uncommon to see people trading collectible cards featuring Black Desert characters.

Black Desert has reached the milestone of 10 years of service in North America and Europe. We captured some photos of the North American adventurers who have been enjoying the game all these years.
