Pearl Abyss has confirmed a new class is coming to Black Desert, teased as the sibling of the existing Deadeye class and set for a full reveal at Heidel Ball 2026 on July 25. The character name used in the teaser is Eddie, the class name starts with the letter «G», and that is currently the full extent of what Pearl Abyss is willing to say before the event.
Deadeye’s Sibling: Meet Eddie
What the teaser actually confirms
Pearl Abyss released a teaser trailer that indicates this class appears to have many of the same tricks that the Deadeye class has, along with mention of a pistol.
What is and isn’t confirmed right now
- Character name (as used in teaser): Eddie
- Class name: starts with «G» — full name not revealed
- Lore role: Deadeye’s sibling
- Visual/mechanical hints: shares some of Deadeye’s tricks and includes mention of a pistol
- Full reveal date: July 25
- Release date, platform specifics, and full kit: not confirmed
What else is in the current PC patch
While the class teaser is the headline, the latest PC patch also brings more changes to the open world, introduces matchmaking for the minigame Yar, and applies loot updates to several monsters alongside a short list of class balance adjustments.
Console players have a separate treat: head to an in-game fountain in Heidel to pick up a buff-granting item tied to the Heidel Ball theme.
What Players Should Do Now
If you want to take part in the teaser-related activity before the reveal, check the official news page for your platform — PC or console — and follow the instructions there. The full class kit, release window, and platform details will all drop at Heidel Ball itself.
Given how Pearl Abyss handled Deadeye’s rollout with its own live-event reveal and simultaneous cross-platform launch, it is reasonable to expect a similar structure here — but nothing beyond the «G» initial and the teaser trailer is confirmed until the event.
Black Desert’s new class — Deadeye’s sibling, character name used in the teaser Eddie, class name starting with «G» — gets its full reveal at Heidel Ball on July 25. Mark the date and check your platform’s teaser-related activity page in the meantime.
