Whilst this may leave some shooter enthusiasts groaning, this mechanic will be a welcome entry for novices, or dare I say those of us who are losing our shooting reflexes.

A whole new region has been released to explore in Black Desert Mobile.

Whilst there are of course technical limitations that results in a slightly smaller, less open-world game with a more streamlined story, Black Desert Mobile delivers a rather beefy online game on a portable device. The release of this new area brings about two big talking…
