Black Desert has pulled the curtain back on its 32nd class, Agent, at the 2026 Heidel Ball in SoCal. The Agent, known by the name Edward Henry Connery, was first teased back in August 2017—yes, that is nine years ago—when the lore regarding the 'Marksman' knowledge and the song of Ganikus's Magic Bullet were added to Tarif.

The Agent is the younger sibling of 'Deadeye' Olivia Lucy Connery. Recruited as a founding member of a government counter-intelligence agency, the Agent underwent brutal training under Marni. To pay homage to the fictional character Ganikus, the design incorporates a sleek, official uniform and a flowing coat, inspired by the moonlight. The narrative is set to intensify as Marni’s machinations force the Agent to point a gun at the older sibling, the Deadeye.

As a firearms specialist, the Agent shares the main weapon, the revolver, with the Deadeye. Black Desert Game Design Director Woo Gyeong-deok noted, "To match the narrative of the two being siblings, we designed both classes to share the revolver as their main weapon."

However, the Agent opts for a larger calibre revolver than the Deadeye. Instead of the mid-range sustained pressure of the Deadeye, the Agent functions more as an assassin, using explosive rounds—much like a tank destroyer—to deal massive area-of-effect damage in one go. The Agent employs a hybrid combat style, blending long and short-range tactics while utilizing grenades and magic bullets as secondary tools.

A core mobility skill is 'Blink,' which allows for rapid infiltration. It teleports the user to a desired location within range. While it can bypass minor obstacles, the cooldown requires players to be strategic about their positioning.

The kit also includes 'Mobile Fire' for quick closing and 'Mozambique Drill' for a precise finishing shot. The secondary 'Magic Bullet' supports the Agent's basic attacks or enhances specific skills. The 'Reaper's Mercy' skill, for instance, gains bonus damage against downed enemies, while grenades are used to zone out opponents or create openings.

Even the Deadeye's signature 'Blood Wind' skill has been reimagined for the Agent. The developers suggested, "Seeing how the same skill is expressed differently by the siblings will be another layer of fun for players."

The Agent will not be an open-class release but will follow the traditional Succession and Awakening structure. Succession arrives this summer, with the Awakening slated for the winter. The official update hits PC in Korea on July 29, followed by the global launch on July 30. The console version will follow on August 6.

The studio also outlined the future roadmap for class development. They plan to release one new class per year, with the summer dedicated to Succession and the winter to Awakening. The time saved from this schedule will be reinvested into balancing and improving existing classes.
