Black Desert Mobile’s game servers will officially go live today, December 11, at 12 a.m. PST or 4 p.m. Philippine time. But can your Android or iOS device handle this free-to-play, massively multiplayer online game? We’re here to help you check.

Pearl Abyss, the game’s developer, already made Black Desert Mobile available to download ahead of the launch on both mobile platforms. But you can only create your character, for now. If you try and sign in before the servers go live, you’ll get an alert and a countdown that says the “Adventure Begins on December 11 at UTC-8.”

We would suggest you register now, so you get the name you want as well as being ready to play once Black Desert Mobile’s servers go live.
