PearlAbyss Is Remastering The Black Desert Online Soundtrack

black desert online orchestra remasterThink the music in Black Desert Online is awesome? Well, apparently PearlAbyss doesn’t think it’s awesome enough because, according to a recent press release, they’re currently remastering the MMORPG’s soundtrack with the help of the soundtrack’s original composer Hui Man Ryu, the German National Orchestra of Halle, and other orchestras from Budapest and Prague.

“Currently, 40 out of 240 themes are being remastered to create more lavish and warmer sounds compared to that of the original MIDI score. The re-arranged leitmotifs will help players to connect more deeply with Black Desert Online’s vast world, interesting characters and story arcs. Whole new compositions were created to better fit the story and emphasize the emotional experience in certain cutscenes. While some of the older compositions might be replaced with new music and re-arrangements, PearlAbyss is working on a system will enable players to listen to the original score in-game for those who prefer the pre-remastered versions.”
