History
The company was founded in September 2010 by Kim Daeil and Youn Jaemin,[2] previously a developer with Hangame and NHN Gaming, and began development of Black Desert Online shortly after.[3][4][5] After the success of the game, Pearl Abyss decided to take over publishing rights and publish the game themselves rather than partnering with a 3rd party publisher.[6] The success of Black Desert Online led to the development of another game, Crimson Desert, which is set to be a single player action adventure game.[7] On September 6, 2018, Pearl announced that they had agreed to acquire CCP Games, developer of Eve Online for approximately US$425 million. CCP's development studios in Reykjavík, London, and Shanghai would continue under CCP Games, while the publishing and marketing functions of CCP would be integrated with Pearl Abyss.[8]
In October 2020 Pearl Abyss established Vic Game Studio Co., Ltd. as a game development company to target the global market with high-quality graphics and with the goal of developing a trendy mobile RPG. On December 20, 2021, Vic Game Studio announced Black Clover Mobile which makes it Pearl Abyss's first licensed game.[citation needed]
