Black Desert has reached a major milestone—its 10th anniversary—and Pearl Abyss is celebrating in a truly unique way with the release of a special 10th Anniversary Vinyl Album set. While it may seem like a nostalgic throwback, this limited-edition collection brings a fresh and unexpected twist to commemorating a decade of one of gaming’s most immersive soundtracks.
What’s Included in the Black Desert 10th Anniversary Vinyl Album?
This exclusive vinyl set is the result of a collaboration between Pearl Abyss and Black Screen Records, featuring a thoughtfully curated selection of music composed by Hwiman Ryu and his team. The album spans multiple genres, from jazz and ethnic fusion to alternative rock, perfectly reflecting the diverse atmosphere and storytelling found within Black Desert.
As someone who has experienced the game, you know just how integral the music is to setting the tone of your journey across its vast open world. Hwiman Ryu, head of audio at Pearl Abyss, emphasizes that listening to music on vinyl offers a more cohesive and immersive experience—something this album was designed to deliver. Each side is arranged to flow seamlessly from one track to the next, transforming the soundtrack into a full listening experience rather than just background ambiance.
Even the packaging deserves a nod. The vinyl sleeves feature artwork inspired by key updates and expansions from Black Desert, making this not just a musical collectible but also a visual tribute to the game's evolution over the past decade.
When Can You Get It?
The Black Desert 10th Anniversary Vinyl Album will begin shipping in August, giving fans plenty of time to secure their copy ahead of delivery. You can pre-order directly through the official Black Screen Records website for $65, or find it via other popular retailers such as the IGN Store, Light in the Attic, and Amazon.
For those unfamiliar, Black Desert is Pearl Abyss’ flagship open-world MMORPG, known for its stunning visuals, fast-paced combat, and deep character customization system. Every detail—from facial features to hairstyle—is fully adjustable, allowing players to craft a truly unique avatar.
If you're interested in playing on mobile, the game is available on the Google Play Store.
