Voice of Adventurers Europe 2026
Voice of Adventurers Europe 2026 in Sevilla, Spain
Voice of Adventurers Europe 2026 took place at the beautiful Villa Luisa in Sevilla, Spain, on March 1, 2026 (Sun), celebrating the 10th Anniversary of the NAEU region.
Adventurers from across the region came together to enjoy a day filled with minigames, hidden challenges, and most importantly: sharing 10 years of memories with one another.
Check out the highlights in the video and the rest of this GM Note!
Say hi to everyone who joined us at Voice of Adventurers Europe 2026!
Villa Luisa is truly a stunning place.
It really does give off those Valencia City vibes, doesn’t it?
As you enter, a Black Desert GM welcomes you...
…And of course, a couple of Warriors also made their way.
And what would Voice of Adventurers Europe 2026 in Valencia City be without a Hashashin… Even Sandlaive Endlaive was there, chatting, of course!
And look! Another GM! And even Lara arrived, all the way from Heidel, to greet all the Adventurers!
Techthon the Blacksmith enjoyed Heidel Ball 2024 so much… that he was willing to travel all the way to Valencia to join us for Voice of Adventurers Europe 2026 too!
He even brought his own enhancement minigame!
Before things get too wild, let’s settle down for a chat, a snack, and a drink. We’ll need plenty of energy for all the minigames yet to come.
Let’s take a look at some of the minigames that were prepared!
An X/O Quiz... real-life YAR! Fishing, bargaining, even digging for treasures in the desert! And there was so much more..
What about this secret sidequest?!
And of course, there was an Adventure Log to be cleared.
As night fell, it was time for a trip down memory lane…
Special guests delivered personal speeches, including Jeseok Jang, Director of Live Service for Black Desert Online.
And several lucky Adventurers won exclusive prizes!
Accompanied by a live performance of Black Desert music, we ended the night with dinner together in the gardens.
And a chance to speak with Jeseok in person!
We had the amazing opportunity to interview five Adventurers who attended Voice of Adventurers and hear firsthand about what made their experience so special!
Thank you for taking the time to answer some interview questions! Is this your first time at a Voice of Adventurers?
Gabro Yes this is my first time and I hope it will not be my last one 😄
Daisetsu This was my first time participating in an offline event organized by Pearl Abyss.
Pohjantikka VoA 2026 was my first time in any game related live gathering. I have been to a community gathering years ago but it was just 10 people. This was officially my first time in a well prepped live gathering.
Newcomers! Welcome in! Did you meet any in-game friends/guildies/players at VOA? How did it feel to meet them?
GatherGod I met 2–3 people from in-game/Twitch. It was great ❤️
Pohjantikka I met many friends and especially liked to meet my fellow Ambassadors. I also had high hopes to meet some special players like MrRapolas, Whitrix, BairogHaan and GatherGod. Meeting was an interesting experience for sure, as I did not expect to see such a wide range of players, young and old. I really liked to meet my fellow gamers and it gave me more respect and courage to meet people again in future.
Al_Nizariyyun Yes, I met my guildmates and some old friends from other guilds that I’d never seen in person before.
Happy to hear that everyone was able to meet Adventurers you already knew! We went a little extra on the merchandise we handed out! What’s your favorite piece of merch from VOA?
Pohjantikka Almost all items from VoA were awesome. If I have to choose 1 item from all, i would say that the LP disc set was the best. Then 2nd place would go to the cool backpack. Music of the game in LP discs is so cool and the LPs looks so beautiful themselves. I have not owned colorful LP discs before.
GatherGod The LP's, I love music!
Gabro Well, the best piece of merch for me was the vinyl. I know I can listen to the songs from YouTube or directly in the game, but I like the idea of having something unique like that at home.
The vinyls are indeed super neat. Great for display and to play! Now with all the activities that were hosted, what was your favorite activity from VOA?
Al_Nizariyyun My favourite activity was fishing. I scored 41 points 😮
Gabro The best activity for me was the Yar duel, even though you could just talk with people in the meantime and have fun with Yar, and of course the presentation at the end.
Daisetsu
In my opinion, the gathering in the Crystal Room after the outdoor activities to hear your announcements was the best part (although it's hard to pick one activity above the others, haha). Hearing the future announcements for my favorite game live was incredibly exciting, and we were able to share the same energy with everyone there!
The raffle for extra prizes also added to the excitement. Unfortunately, I didn't win, but that's the way it goes, and I congratulate all the winners.
A variety of events were enjoyed! We are pleased to hear~ What are your thoughts on the event overall?
Al_Nizariyyun Overall, the event was great. I would definitely go again if I had the chance.
Daisetsu We had a wonderful day in Seville. The beautiful weather made for a magnificent day in an extraordinary setting. The welcome cocktail in the villa's gardens, the music, and the activities left no doubt: we were in Valencia!
The vibes were immaculate indeed! Our team felt immersed and felt like we were in Valencia indeed. What was the most memorable part of VOA event for you?
Daisetsu The meal you prepared was memorable. I was able to chat with other players at my table, which was much more enjoyable than in-game chat! As I mentioned earlier, I love music, and the concert that accompanied the meal made it unforgettable.
Pohjantikka My most memorable moment in the event was to meet my years old friends of the Ambassador team for the first time. Staff was also so nice to meet in person and I also have pictures of amazing cosplays. If I get chance to come to the next event I will bring more personal gifts to my favorite people.
Gabro The most memorable part to me was definitely meeting all the GMs and the stuff in general. I saw a passion behind the "job"; I believe BDO is in good hands. The opportunity to talk with all of you was priceless to me.
Would you come back to the next offline event? If yes, where would you like the next event to be held?
Gabro
I would love to participate in the next event, but this time with my wife (she plays too). Well would be good in Italy since I'm from there, but I would like to see places like the one from Heidel ball in France. Thanks everyone for the great experience and the good vibes.
Al_Nizariyyun Of course. In Italy, near Naples, there’s a town that is very similar to Velia. Italy in general has many places that would provide the perfect atmosphere for this kind of event.
Pohjantikka
I would love to join next live event, this first event was amazing and gave me start to connect with other players. And i want to meet them again in future. I want to connect more and more.
Next location... well since I am from Finland, that would be cool place to have event. Maybe for Trent or Eilton themed could be in Nordic countries, as there are beautiful forests and snow areas, but Nordic countries are pretty expensive compared to Spain or Italy.
Sevilla was nice, and the Villa Luisa was a paradise middle of city. I would like to have next event in more balanced location where location and city around the location are beautiful and in similar setting.
Towns and smaller cities are always challenging to get people join in, but they are so beautiful and unique to have this kind of events. I am not totally familiar with middle European cities or towns, but I know they are beautiful just like the town where Heidel is located.
Daisetsu
It would be a pleasure to see you and other adventurers again. Italy seems like a great destination, specifically Tuscany, which reminds me of the Balenos region and the area around Velia.
Thank you, Pearl Abyss, for inviting me to your event!
GatherGod Of course! I talked to a Italian guy, that lives in VELIA in Italy ... that could be a good city for the next event?
Night has fallen on Valencia City.
It was a magical day, and your kind and heartfelt messages made it even more special. A huge thanks to all Adventurers!
And a special thanks to our Partners AMD and Alienware!
