Today marks the ten year anniversary of Pearl Abyss, having been founded on September 10, 2010. The developer isn’t just celebrating their age, as they also revealed that Black Desert has surpassed 40 million players across 150 countries and four platforms, and has accumulated more than $1.7 billion in lifetime revenue.

The revenue split includes 40% from North America and Europe, 26% from Korea, and 34% across other Asian countries.

“It’s unbelievable to think that Pearl Abyss’ journey began a decade ago. Time flies when you’re having fun,” said Robin Jung, CEO of Pearl Abyss. “We’ve reached dizzying heights and continue to strive towards making the best games in the world. One key aspect of our success has been the creation of our in-house game engine. This technology has allowed us to quickly scale titles like Black Desert across multiple huge platforms, all while delivering new content and exciting experiences to our players. Here’s to many more years to come!”

In 2018 Pearl Abyss acquired CCP Games, makers of Eve Online. Future Pearl Abyss titles include Crimson Desert, DokeV, and Plan 8.
