[Watch] Black Desert Online officially releases their sea-focused Margoria Expansion

Large scale naval combat in an MMO is officially a thing now

Black Desert Online's massive naval expansion, titled Margoria is officially live starting today. Obviously, the big attraction here is the all-new fully explorable ocean that players can take to on their own custom built sailing ships, or if you have a crew, you can construct a galley to take part in large-scale naval skirmishes. The Margoria expansion was initially teased and shown off back at Gamescom 2016, and it has been a long six months to get it out to the fans.

Here's a feature list for Margoria per an official Press Release:

  • Guild-vs-guild naval combat – Guard your wealth and trade routes by defeating rival guilds in fierce ship-to-ship combat
  • Ship construction – Build your private sailing ship or work with your guild to build powerful galleys that are packed with firepower
  • New harbors and ocean – Establish lucrative trade routes as the trading system expands to the open seas
  • Underwater monster hunting – Take down the terrifying sea monsters that live in the depths of the Margoria ocean and earn legendary loot
  • Enhanced life skills – Reel in new species of fish in the Margoria ocean and gather other ingredients to improve your cooking skills
  • Over 100 new quests – Meet new characters and continue on your grand adventure

Black Desert Online's Margoria Expansion is available now for free to all players.
