Greetings Adventurers,

Here are the latest update details for Black Desert Online on July 18, 2024 (Thu). Today’s patch contains 146 updates and is approximately 1.60GB.

As previously mentioned in an announcement, maintenance schedule has been changed so that adventurers in global regions can experience the updates released on the Black Desert Global Lab a little faster. However, please understand that the update schedule for some content released on Global Lab may be adjusted due to the stability of new updates and localization tasks for different service regions. We hope we can provide a more stable service with the maintenance schedule change.
