It'll be interesting to see how it fares in the west, especially compared to popular competitors such as Final Fantasy XIV and World of Warcraft. The five players classes, Warrior, Martial Artist, Gunner, Mage, and Assassin, sport four sub-classes each, and the action overall looks more action-packed than the average MMO. The game spans seven large continents and has both PvE and PvP elements. The multiplayer RPG will be free-to-play and centers on players combating a demonic dragon named Kazeros who returns after being previously defeated by a relic known as the Ark. Lost Ark launched in Korea in 2018 and is coming to the west thanks to Amazon Games.
The idea is to have an active community of testers and influencers for the developers to interact with and absorb feedback once the closed beta rolls around. The world of LOST ARK is filled to the brim with mystical creatures and untold treasures for brave adventurers to discover. In an effort to better keep players in the loop, Smilegate also promises monthly updates and will launch a discord channel and forums in October.
