Black Desert Online Reveals New Class "Shai," and More Future Content

---

Today, Black Desert online developer Pearl Abyss and publisher Kakao Games announced a new MMORPG category and more to come.

The new class will be the diminutive Shai, who will be the 18th playable class included in the game. On the 8th, during PA's Heidel Ball, Black Desert Online's 8th class, Shai, was shown to the crowd for the very first time. Pre-register for Shai began on the 8th (KST), and players in the KR server will be able to pre-create her on the 12th. As for the rest of the world including NA, Europe, Japan, and Russia, she had be created on the 19th of June. If you rolled a Shai during the pre-creation event last week, you should have already received your rewards through the in-game mailbox. 

The Shai is the 18th class to be added into the fantasy MMORPG and she's got all sorts of tricks up her tiny little sleeves. Shai is designed around being a support class that wields two types of boomerangs, "Floran" and "Bitsari". Shai wields a boomerang that is nearly as large as herself, "Floran", to either attack or evade conflict.  In addition, she is equipped with a simple yet effective mobility skill that allows her to weave in and out of fights.

"The Shai excels at supporting her allies on the battlefield. While she fights enemies using her Florang, a giant boomerang, she supports her allies using a magical ‘Vitclari’. With this magical light, she can provide healing and other beneficial effects in a very versatile way, making her a unique addition that is surely gonna bring a shift in the currently popular PvP and PvE strategies of Black Desert Online."

Kakao Games is also currently running a number of Shai-related Events. A 50% mount EXP boost will also be applied to all servers until July 3rd. Players can also choose one Donkey Emblem for free from the Challenges Tab. For details, please visit the official website.

Black Desert Online is currently available for PC via Steam or stand-alone. An Xbox One version has also recently been released, but that one is just named "Black Desert."
