The upcoming MMORPG Black Desert Online looks pretty, extremely pretty, and the developer Pearl Abyss demonstrated that once more today by releasing a new batch of fantastic-looking screenshots.

We get to see examples of environments like sprawling cities, castles, rolling hills and a lot more, and NPCs like shopkeepers and auctioneers. This is definitely a good example of how a great looking MMORPG world should be designed...and boy, that lighting looks superb.

Will it play as well as it looks? We'll have to wait quite a bit longer to know about that, but so far it's definitely promising. Check out the gallery for yourself just below.
