Changed the initial login camera effect that activates after selecting a character and logging into the game.
The 28th class of Black Desert, "Dosa," from Sangdo School of the Land of the Morning Light has arrived to meet adventurers.
Dosa draws inspiration from the renowned Joseon general, Yi Sunsin's Hwando, and his Gombangdae embodies the free-spirited image of the Joseon-era Do wielder, Jeon Woochi. We have incorporated the unique essence of the Land of the Morning Light to ensure that adventurers playing as Dosa can enjoy a blend of our cultural charm.
▲ Dosa from Sangdo School of the Land of the Morning Light has arrived to meet adventurers.
Delving deeper, Dosa channels the luminous energy through his hwando and umbral energy through his gombangdae. By combining these energies, he can unleash a powerful force Taeguk on enemies.
Each skill is imbued with the essence of the seasons—Spring Frost, Summer Breeze, Autumnal Blitz, and Winter Squall—reflecting the trigrams of the Taeguk flag.
▲ Autumnal Blitz
▲ Taeguk
Dosa's Azure Sky outfit features traditional Korean aesthetic, inscribed with ancient Korean poetry on both his robe and hwando. We've designed various animations, including idle and combat stances, to capture these cultural features.
▲ Sijo (traditional Korean poetry), Song of Five Friends
▲ Sijo (traditional Korean poetry), Morning Mist - Adapted
Additionally, for the upcoming Land of the Morning Light - Seoul, we are working on locations such as Musa's Seoryeon Corps, Woosa and Maegu's Woodo School, and Dosa's Sangdo School. These were previously known only through stories, but we wish to give adventurers the chance to soon visit them in Seoul.
"Dosa" seamlessly blends Korean charm into the action-packed world of Black Desert, which we hope that adventurers will love, and we also hope that they will enjoy their first experience of Dosa (Succession) today.
Thank you.
