Manhattan Beach, CA — June 8, 2023 — Korean developer and publisher Pearl Abyss released an exclusive Summer Game Fest trailer today for Land of the Morning LightBlack Desert Online’s biggest 2023 expansion, revealing the serpentine boss, Imoogi. Launching globally on Wednesday, June 14, Land of the Morning Light transports players to a huge region inspired by the Korean medieval Joseon era, where they must face an array of mythical bosses based on Korean folklore.

IMOOGI, THE POWERFUL BOSS OF LAND OF THE MORNING LIGHT
Featuring fearsome fangs and a spine-chilling roar, Imoogi, to be released after launch, is a new boss players will encounter in their journey through the Land of the Morning Light. Imoogi (which means “giant snake” or “huge serpent” in Korean mythology) can be challenged after players successfully defeat each of the other bosses that lurk in Land of the Morning Light. Imoogi’s story has varied across generations, but Korean legends say it is a gigantic serpent-like creature aspiring to become a full-fledged dragon.
FACE OFF WITH FOLKLORE IN LAND OF THE MORNING LIGHT
Imoogi is one of many folklore-inspired characters awaiting players in Land of the Morning Light. Drawing from ancient myths and fables, the expansion pits players against unique boss monsters who must be defeated to uncover the true evil lurking in the region’s shadows.
Players will meet the ferocious tiger lord Sangoon, vicious Golden Pig King, vengeful ghost Songakshi, and more throughout the expansion’s nonlinear questline. Players can choose the order in which they face the bosses, enabling them to make their own adventure in a mature storyline featuring 80 cutscenes, 40 vignettes, and 6,000 fully-dubbed lines.

NEW GAME CHALLENGE: ‘BOSS BLITZ’
For the first time ever, Black Desert Online moves away from monster grinding by introducing boss fights and a special new boss challenge,‘Boss Blitz’. Once a boss is defeated in this new mode, players can jump straight into the action and fight that boss in customized difficulty levels for a chance to rank in weekly charts.
Each boss, including Imoogi, is built with distinct battle mechanics and combat strategies that ramp up in difficulty with each level, so players must adapt their tactics and invest wisely in Light Orbs (customizable points earned through story progression) to defeat each one. Players can put their boss-fighting skills to the test by competing with other players for the highest score, organized by class, on a weekly basis.
