Amsterdam, The Netherlands – August 8, 2024 – Korean developer and publisher Pearl Abyss announced Mountain of Eternal Winter, Black Desert Online’s acclaimed expansion, packed with a new storyline, unique quests, and fun, is available now on PlayStation and Xbox. The expansion introduces console players to a brand-new snowy region featuring new questlines with voice-acted cutscenes, a new player hub, a formidable boss, new gear, and new endgame locations. 

DELVE INTO PERPETUAL SNOWFALL
In Mountain of Eternal Winter, players will venture into unknown lands and ascend to the peak of the Mountain of Eternal Winter to vanquish Illezra. On their journey, Adventurers will explore a new snowy region in search of the Holy Flame Ynix, overcome the mountain’s ancient rites of passages left by its ancient protectors, and assist the people of 'Eilton' to unearth forgotten knowledge.

Mountain of Eternal Winter is Black Desert’s third new player starting zone since launch. The leveling experience invites all new players who have yet to explore much of Black Desert’s content to immerse themselves in its lore and world.

Adventurers on console can look forward to:

• New Region: Mountain of Eternal Winter: Explore a new snowy region in search of the Holy Flame Ynix, defeat the witch Illezra, and help Eilton's people uncover ancient knowledge. Meet unique characters like Lando, the chatty snow fox, and Jordine Ducas, a formidable adversary.
• New Questline: Experience a rich questline with fully rendered, voice-acted cutscenes and lore-based stories.
• New Player Hub: Visit Eilton, the central hub of the expansion, nestled in the rugged mountain slopes south of Drieghan. Although small, Eilton holds vast hidden knowledge and curious NPCs eager to share the mountain's history.
• New Boss: Face the fearsome Dreadwinter Guardian boss, Erebjork, equipped with a massive ice axe and shield and the ability to summon blizzards! Defeat Erebjork for a chance to obtain Flame of Frost, which is used to craft Labreska’s Helmet, powerful new gear introduced in Mountain of Eternal Winter.
• New Endgame Locations: Navigate Okjinsini territory in Jade Starlight Forest, battle polar bears and snow leopards at Winter Tree Fossil to awaken Erebjork's wrath, and delve into the Sherekhan Iron Mine in Murrowak's Labyrinth to clear infestations led by their queen, Vercedes.
