Black Desert Online will head into its final beta test tomorrow starting at 8:00am UTC and will last until February 22 at the same time. Those who preordered the Explorer’s or Conqueror’s package will be automatically given access. Those who haven’t can sign up for a chance to participate in the beta.
Anyone who preorders the game from now until February 26 will receive a head start of 96 hours as well as exclusive items, including pets, mounts, costumes, and weapon skins. Players who pre-order the game can reserve their names ahead of launch.
Daum Games has announced that the closed beta will see the return of speical in-game events, including the Bait Master Tour (what a name!). Players can catch rare fish and earn a special title, or try their skill at the triathlon challenge. Rewards for both events will be added to the player’s account and accessible once the game officially launches. For schedules, check out the official forums.
In addition, Daum Games has launched its own Twitch channel, where they plan to stream the game for every day during the beta starting at 5:30pm Pacific. Twitch broadcasters who are playing the game will also be featured on the official channel.
