It’s about time for schools to be closing out for a couple of months and for activities in the sun to begin! For those that prefer the indoor life, or find themselves trapped inside due to weather, there are some good updates from Smilegate and Amazon Games regarding the future of Lost Ark. They have revealed their plans covering the months of May to August in their Summer 2023 Roadmap.

Continuing the trend of regularly bringing new content to Lost Ark, Amazon Games has announced several changes are coming to better support new and returning players and incorporate the feedback of its existing player base. Heroes of Arkesia can look forward to brand-new advanced classes, new dungeons, new raids, a new continent, updates to player progression, several quality-of-life updates, and more. Highlights include:

• New Advanced Classes - In the next few months, Lost Ark will be introducing two new advanced classes – the Slayer and the Aeromancer. The Slayer, the fifth Warrior Advanced Class and the female remix of the Berserker class, conquers the battlefield with her greatsword while the Aeromancer, the second Specialist Advanced Class, devastates opponents by manipulating the weather. 

• Ebony Cube - A new activity where players must clear waves of enemies to claim rewards. This new mode consolidates and replaces Boss Rush and Dimension Cube.

• Elgacia Continent - Players with Item Level 1460 will have the opportunity to venture into a new continent – Elgacia. In this new area, players will explore Ereonnor, the city of light built in reverence to the Gods, as well as the blessed Hestera Garden and the sacred Mount Phylantos to uncover the secrets of the Lazeniths.

• Inferno Mode - Players will have the chance to prove that they’re the best of the best in the new Inferno Mode for the Kakul-Saydon Legion Raid. Rather than chasing the normal rewards of gear, materials, Inferno rewards will showcase players’ victories with titles, achievements, Stronghold structures, and more.

Lost Ark has recently celebrated their first anniversary and continuing player base. Given this game launched to good reviews, it’s no wonder they are still pumping out more content over a year later. Fans can check out the full breakdown of what’s to come on their official blog.

Lost Ark is available on PC via Steam.
