The world of Arkesia is set to expand with new content as Lost Ark unveils the first part of its 2024 roadmap. The announcement, featuring a detailed video update from Product Manager Andy Lin, Head of Editorial Henry Stelter, and Community Manager Roxanne Sabo, teases a series of major updates and events poised to redefine the Lost Ark experience in the coming months.
January: Brelshaza Inferno Kicking off the year, players will face the ultimate test in the Inferno difficulty of Legion Raids. Brelshaza Inferno is not just about the usual loot but also about prestige and showcasing victories with exclusive titles, achievements, Stronghold Structures, and more. This intense challenge will require a high Item Level of 1560 and a full build set-up.
February: Second Anniversary Celebration & Valtan Extreme Lost Ark celebrates its second anniversary with the Arkesia Festival, featuring weekly co-op quests and valuable rewards. An additional event will also take players on a nostalgic journey through the game’s most iconic content. Additionally, the Valtan raid returns in an extreme form, offering two difficulty levels and unique rewards, with a bi-weekly entry limit.
March: Breaker Class & Light of Destiny Story Quests March introduces the new Breaker Class, a male counterpart to the Scrapper, known for its heavy gauntlets and powerful combos. Accompanying this is the Light of Destiny update, bringing players closer to the Lost Ark’s location through new story quests in Sacria and Pleccia.
April: Thaemine & Transcendence Gear Progression System The month of April unveils the Thaemine Legion Raid, where players confront the Legion Commander of Darkness in his dark fortress. This 8-player raid offers Normal and Hard modes, with significant rewards. April also introduces the Transcendence Gear Progression System, allowing players to enhance their gear with ancient powers.
Vescal Guardian Raid Alongside Thaemine, players will encounter Vescal, a new Guardian Raid with a 1630 item level requirement. Vescal, consumed by chaos, uses sound waves to hunt enemies, adding a unique challenge to the Guardian Raids.
The roadmap is a glimpse into the exciting changes and additions coming to Lost Ark. However, it’s important to note that this is not an exhaustive list, and players can expect other quality-of-life updates, balance changes, and unique events. The Lost Ark team encourages the community to stay connected via their website and social channels for more detailed release notes and updates.
