Pearl Abyss launched its free-to-play fantasy role-playing game Black Desert Mobile globally on iOS and Android devices today.

This massively multiplayer online open world game is a mobile version of Black Desert, which has more than 20 million players on the PC, consoles, and mobile. Black Desert has generated more than $1 billion in revenue since 2015, and it’s a good bet that the mobile version will add to the coffers.
