Black Desert Russian release confirmed, NA and EU to follow

Great news for all you Russian players who were waiting to play Black Desert – Pearl Abyss just revealed in an interview to Goha.ru that this highly anticipated MMORPG is getting a release in Russia and the translation is happening as we speak. The Russian publisher wasn't revealed (rumors say it may be Innova), but the developers said that the most important factor was the publisher's experience on the MMO market. And while Black Desert is expected to be free-to-play in Korea and Japan, the Russian business model is still in discussion.

And now the interesting bit to all you North American and European players: “Nevertheless, Black Desert will be published in Russia soon, much earlier than in North America or EU.” This answer is something of a confirmation that Black Desert is indeed coming to the West, however we shouldn't expect it before a couple of years.
