Details on the Lost Ark's Anniversary Update

The launch of Lost Ark's first year will take place in February, and the developer is marking the occasion with a significant content update that includes the addition of a brand-new continent as well as open-world faction PVP. In addition, to celebrate Lost Ark's first year, the developer is planning a few events that will award unique prizes, as well as Twitch Drops, which will give players the opportunity to acquire a variety of different items. Lost Ark was initially a huge success in Korea when it was released in 2019, and when it made its debut in the western market by Amazon Games in 2022, it was met with a massive influx of players who helped Lost Ark break records on Steam. The game was significantly more popular than Amazon Games' previous attempt at developing a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG), which was called New World. The game combined Diablo-style action-RPG combat with massive open-world MMORPG systems. Due to the fact that the western adaptation of the game is several years behind the original Korean version, the majority of Lost Ark's first year consisted of a number of updates that gradually introduced classes, features, and encounters that had previously been accessible to players in Korea.

One of the first significant Lost Ark updates of the year will coincide with the first anniversary of the game, and as a result, the next version of Lost Ark, which will be released on February 8, will include quite a few new features

1. The new continent Rowen is the primary focus of attention

2. Rowen is a land that is abundant in rare minerals and is fiercely contested by two warring factions known as the Preigelli and the Liebertane

3. Players with an item level of 1445 or higher can begin the world quest on Rowen

4. This quest will lead players to a point where they must choose which of the two factions they wish to side with

5. This leads to an open-world PVP system, in which players from the various competing factions will rise through the ranks of their faction by participating in PVP and completing daily and weekly quests respectively

6. In addition to the continent of Rowen and open-world player versus player combat, players can look forward to a few events that will offer valuable rewards as well as new Twitch Drops, which will typically reward cosmetic items and costumes

7. It's possible that the rewards you received from the birthday event will come in handy before the March update, which, according to the Lost Ark 2023 roadmap, will include the large-scale PVP system for the Tulubik Battlefield (48v48)

It is anticipated that the new Artist advanced class will also finish development ahead of schedule, which will result in an early release in the month of March. Recently, the game has been receiving criticism after the developer, Lost Ark, banned a large number of innocent players. This has resulted in a significant backlash in the form of a review bomb on Steam. However, Lost Ark moved quickly to rectify the situation, and within a few days it had lifted the bans and explained the incident as having been caused by a mistake in the bot detection methods it uses.
