Pearl Abyss' flagship community event for 'Black Desert', the 'Heidel Ball', was held this year in Irvine, California. The event was organized to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the game's service in North America and Europe, providing a space for the developer to meet and communicate with Western players. True to the occasion, the Irvine venue was richly decorated with various props and items symbolizing Black Desert.

The event was attended by 200 dedicated Western players who have consistently played and loved Black Desert. They enjoyed the banquet in their own unique ways, showing off their individuality through character cosplay or gathering in small groups to share stories about the game.
