Pearl Abyss has officially launched the pre-experience phase for "Black Desert" in China, sparking considerable interest in the game's potential success. This launch comes about nine years after its original release in Korea and three months after receiving its service license in China, and it has already received enthusiastic feedback from local gamers.

Through a strategic partnership with Tencent, Pearl Abyss has scheduled this Chinese pre-experience phase for July 19, positioning itself to establish a strong foothold in the local market. With nearly 910,000 users pre-registered, participation is anticipated to reach one million soon. Players will be able to explore the game's major content in stages during the pre-experience phase, leading up to a public beta test next month.

The pre-experience content closely aligns with the official version, drawing considerable attention from industry experts. Should "Black Desert" secure a solid presence in the Chinese market, as opposed to its mobile version, it could significantly enhance Pearl Abyss's financial performance in the latter half of the year. Additionally, Pearl Abyss is gearing up to release its new title "Crimson Desert," which is expected to become a major revenue driver upon its launch in the first half of next year.
