Black Desert Mobile's latest update introduces two new game modes called Siege War and Asula's Den

Pearl Abyss' popular MMORPG Black Desert Mobile has announced two new additions that will arrive in the game with its latest update. These will be called Siege War and Asula's Den, with both being available now.

Siege War is a new battle mode for Guilds where different groups will be able to battle one another to try and take control of two regions – Balenos and Serendia. Neither of these regions has seats of power so they're ripe for claiming. They’ll function like a secondary Node War with players being able to place the Command Post anywhere in the region.

The ruleset is very similar to Node War and Guilds must be at least level 5 with more than 10 members to take part. On top of that, only Guilds with a tier 2 Node can bid to take part in Siege War. From there it's a case of attacking your opponent's Holy Artifacts until they're destroyed. Victory will yield large amounts of silvers as well as control of the region.

Asula's Den, on the other hand, is quite different. This is a new side-scrolling platform action mode. This will see players battling their way through enemies from a side-on perspective using manual control mode. If you're able to reach and defeat the boss of the den you'll be rewarded with a golden box filled with various items. It's worth noting though, to take part in Asula's Den you'll need to have a Black Spirit level of at least 30.

The arrival of the game's next class, the Sorceress, is not too far away at this point either, so there's a lot of content on the way. You can currently sign up to receive updates on this upcoming character class and you'll get a few rewards too if you choose to do so.

Black Desert Mobile is available now on the App Store and Google Play. It's a free-to-play game with in-app purchases.
