Lost Ark update plan published

The team responsible for the Russian version of the popular MMORPG Lost Ark has shared with the public what to expect from the game in the coming months. The announcements include events, boss raids, the release of a new character class, and gameplay mechanics — these updates, for example, will affect the gem system and the wardrobe storage. Smilegate employees traditionally note that all these plans are preliminary and may still change closer to the release of the announced patches.

Players have already experienced the content of «Spring Magic» and «Journey to the Land of Yoz,» so everyone is eager to know what comes next. The developers have the answer. In July, the audience can look forward to a new season with the «Pantheon of Heroes» — an activity format where anyone can challenge anyone, even themselves. Also next month, gamers will encounter three trial modes, character progression through seasonal gear, individual rankings for different classes, and, of course, rewards for activities. Among other things, an alternative method for evaluating gear ratings will be introduced — it will allow for an even more precise assessment of a hero's strength.

In August, gamers will be able to play as female paladins for the first time, as well as participate in the «Path of Light» event. In September, a blitz raid on a boss will begin, and by the end of the year, the developers promise to introduce the final battle with Kazeros and an extreme difficulty level for Kamen. Other changes include adding slots to the wardrobe storage, revamping the achievement system, reducing routine activities in the Efon Union quests, and freely replacing character-bound gems. Finally, balance adjustments and new adventures have been announced, which will also affect the island of Maharaki.
