TV Animation Berserk X Black Desert Collaboration Begins!


Skull Knight and Nosferatu Zodd come to Black Desert!



What is "Berserk"?


Starting its serialization in 1989 in "Monthly Animal House" (Hakusensha) and later moving to "Young Animal", "Berserk" is a dark fantasy that has left a powerful shock and touched the hearts and lives of readers worldwide with its profound story, captivating characters, overwhelming and meticulous artwork, and unparalleled creativity. It has been translated into a total of 20 languages. Set in a world where swords, magic, and monsters exist, it depicts the fierce life of the protagonist, Guts. The series has recorded a total of 60 million copies (paper + digital) sold worldwide. Starting with a TV animation from 1997 to 1998, it was adapted into a trilogy of theatrical animations from 2012 to 2013, and a second TV animation from 2016 to 2017. The theatrical animation depicting the "Golden Age" was re-aired as a TV series in 2022 as a Memorial Edition, marking 10 years since its release.

In celebration of the collaboration, [color=#FF0000]Skull Knight[/color] and [color=#FF0000]Zodd[/color] from Berserk have appeared!

The Shellfolks and Crio have also prepared special gifts for Adventurers who craft each type of Sea Pot.
