Amazon Games and Smilegate RPG have decided to stall things with the upcoming MMOARPG Lost Ark. Lost Ark will be delayed to early 2022 due to quality assurance. Nevertheless, closed beta is coming out soon. This delay might be good for Amazon Games as it will give the developer some time to dedicate on its other MMORPG, New World.
Lost Ark was scheduled to release in Fall 2021, but recent turbulent events have pushed the developers to delay the game further. Apparently, the game needs a lot more polishing before it reaches a stable candidate. Nevertheless, Lost Ark will still host a closed beta phase from November 4 to November 9, gathering additional information through player feedback. All Founder’s Pack purchasers will have access to this Closed Beta, while other players who haven’t purchased anything will still be able to sign up.
There is not much information available about Amazon Games’ plans for the future. However, it seems like they plan to stay more open with their players by providing monthly updates on what work they are doing “in the background. The closed beta will be escorted with a brand new Discord, allowing members to involve themselves in some Lost Ark-related discussions.
Lost Ark is the game everyone’s waiting for. After its release in the Korean region in 2018, Amazon Games decided to expand the game’s reach to NA and EU. Now that a western release is queued, fans of the genre are even more eager about the game and want to have it as fast as possible.
The MMO genre is undoubtedly becoming plugged, consuming tons of players in their effort to gearing and becoming a powerful in-game character.
