Pearl Abyss, the South Korean game company that bought Eve Online maker CCP Games, announced today that it is adding a battle royale mode and an archer character to its popular Black Desert Online, an online role-playing game.

Jae-Hee Kim, executive producer of Black Desert Online, announced the new mode onstage in a keynote at the Festa event in Amsterdam.
