Greetings Adventurers,
Here are the latest update details for Black Desert Online on March 30, 2022 (Wed).
Background Music Revamp
The world of Black Desert is filled with diverse regions which also play unique background tracks that were composed to best fit the culture and atmosphere of each region. In an attempt to introduce more of our Adventurers to these delightful sounds, we revamped the entire background music system, and the specifics involving how each track is repeated and played in-game. We also plan on adding exclusive tracks to play when your character riding on horseback, so please look forward to more of such ear candy to be updated in the near future.
● Reworked the background music playback system to play music according to the individual styles of the five major regions in the continent.
- The playback system will now play several tracks in succession, instead of repeating the same track over and over again for the same region.
- Combat music will now fade while fighting normal monsters; in areas with constant combat, music that best suits the specific region will play.
* We plan to add horse riding music in a future update.
