Get ready for December 22 when Pearl Abyss introduces Nova to Black Desert. Here’s what you need to know.

In today’s latest content update for Black Desert Online players will now be able to use the Succession skills on four more classes, Musa, Witch, Wizard and Dark Knight. Succession allows players to utilize their classes original weapons instead of their Awakened weapons, along with new skills that are meant to be as powerful as Awakened kits.

The Succession update in Black Desert Online will encourage players to put away their Awakening weapons and utilize their original weapons, as they battle through several Succession quests. Succession is only available for the Warrior, Sorceress, Ranger and Berserker, but will roll out to other classes later on.

In a notice posted on the official Black Desert site, Pearl Abyss assuaged fears that new Xbox Series X and Playstation 5 owners would indeed be able to play on the new consoles the day they bring them home. The announcement did, however, seem less confident in the Playstation 5’s ability to run the game as it is today.
