Lost Ark, the popular MMORPG, has announced that the release of its The Art of War update will be delayed due to an unresolved issue found during testing. The update was initially scheduled to be released on March 15, but the problem could not be resolved in time for the release.

In a statement on their forums, the Lost Ark team expressed their regret for the delay and stated that the update won’t be released at this time. The team also confirmed that there will still be a weekly downtime as scheduled on March 15 at 12am PT, and it is expected to last for 4 hours.

Players who wanted to dive in the new 96-player (48v48) Realm versus Realm mode and the new Artist Advanced Class will have to wait a little longer for the update to be released. The delay is a reminder that game developers prioritize the quality and stability of their updates to ensure the best experience for their players.

Lost Ark fans are advised to stay tuned to the official game channels and social media accounts for further updates and announcements regarding the status of the update. We’ll keep you posted as more information becomes available.

Unfortunately during testing we found an issue with the March update that was not able to be resolved.

Due to this, we will not be able to release the March update at this time. There will still be a downtime tonight at 12 AM PT
