Black Desert Online Expands Its PvP Content With War Of The Roses And Guild League

Black Desert Online has taken its PvP game to the next level when it kicked off its first 300v300 faction war, dubbed War of the Roses, last Sunday. The “historic clash” saw NA and EU guilds compete for control of the opposing faction’s castle and the coveted Rose Crown, at least until the next faction war takes place.

“Conditions are simple,” Pearl Abyss says. “Each castle houses an NPC commander, and factions must storm the opponent’s castle to defeat their respective NPC Commander. The first to defeat the general claims victory and is adorned with the prestigious Rose crown.”

Smaller-scale guild battles were also introduced yesterday as part of the fantasy MMORPG’s new Guild League 15v15 PvP mode. “When the Guild League content is active, guilds that have signed up to participate are matched against each other,” the studio explains. “This content is specifically designed to make PvP content more accessible and fun. Guildmates are encouraged to work together and challenge other guilds whilst scoring points for much needed bragging rights. Guilds with 1,000 points (100 kills) or a higher score at the end of the match time win!”

If you missed the massive battle last weekend, the next War of the Roses is scheduled to take place on February 18 and every other Sunday after that. In the meantime, you can brush up on its mechanics in the overview video below.
