Pearl Abyss' Black Desert Mobile Receives Chinese Publishing License

[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Nahum] Pearl Abyss's mobile game 'Black Desert Mobile' has received a publishing license (panho) for game service in China. It is the first time in about seven months since Com2uS's 'Summoners War: Sky Arena' received a panho in December last year.

According to Pearl Abyss on the 29th, the National Press and Publication Administration of China recently issued panhos for 43 games, including Black Desert Mobile. Pearl Abyss became the second company to receive a panho following its subsidiary CCP Games, which obtained the panho for 'EVE Echoes.'

It is reported that Black Desert Mobile's panho was obtained through iDreamSky. iDreamSky is a mobile publisher headquartered in Shenzhen, China, known to be invested in by Tencent. However, the panho has not yet been issued for the PC and console versions of Black Desert Mobile.

Black Desert Mobile is a mobile MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game) that reinterprets the original PC online game 'Black Desert' developed by Pearl Abyss. It features stunning graphics and maximized action impact created with its proprietary game engine. It was globally released in December 2019, including North America and Europe, and is currently serviced in over 150 countries in 12 languages.

A Pearl Abyss representative said, "We are working closely with our partners related to the Chinese service. Since Black Desert Mobile ranks 3rd in the mobile game expectation rankings on China’s largest gaming site ‘17173’ and has high expectations, we will do our best in localization efforts."
