Lost Ark is a AAA free-to-play, massively multiplayer online action role-playing game that is only currently available in Korea, Japan, and Russia, where it boasts millions of active players.

The game features 15 distinct hero classes that offer deep combat with unique combinations of adaptable skill sets utilizing the Tripod Skill system. Players forge their own legend, whether alone or with allies, as they battle through dangerous dungeons, sail by ship and even create their own island home.

Amazon Games collaborated with Smilegate RPG to provide players in North America and Europe with the best experience possible by localizing and translating the colossal world of Lost Ark into written and spoken dialogue in English, French, German, and Spanish. 

Amazon Games revealed part two of their 2025 roadmap for Lost Ark. This all-new roadmap offers a look into the major content updates arriving in Arkesia over the next three months, including the Kazeros Raid Act 3, a whole new continent for players to explore, Yornujan Island and much more. 

Highlights of the roadmap include:

• Progression Events: April will focus on preparing players for the upcoming Kazeros Raid. To help with that, the Storm the Abyss Event and Road to Act 3 Event will be available for players to prepare for their future battles. These events will provide materials for character progression and ensure players are geared up for the challenges ahead.
• Golden Frog Extension: The limited-time event will be extended until the May update to help players with preparations for the Kazeros Raid. Players can exchange Gold for valuable rewards, including honing materials, Legendary Engravings, Card Packs, and more. Players can purchase random chest packs that yield Golden Frog Tokens, which can be redeemed for additional items.
• New Continent: A new continent, Rimeria, homeland of the Yoz, known as “The Land That Guards the Dawn” will be introduced in May. Rimeria is in grave danger as the return of Kazeros’ influence poses a threat to the Rimeria Elders and their sacred land. The continent will bring a continuation of the Main Story Quest, an Adventurer’s Tome, Rapport NPCs, side quests, achievements and plenty of new rewards to earn for protecting Rimeria. 
• Kazeros Raid Act 3: The war escalates as players take on the Kazeros Raid Act 3, an 8-player, 3-gate raid with Normal and Hard difficulties. Releasing in early June, the new raid will challenge players to vanquish new and old foes. Players will call upon legendary heroes with Allied Forces skills like Thirain, Nineveh, Mari, Balthorr, and Kharmine. After defeating Mordum, a Postlude quest will wrap up this phase of the story.
• Yornujan Island: This mysterious island near Rimeria is home to young Yoz in training, and they need players' help to hone their skills. Adventurers will have the chance to experience a new daily quest, earn valuable treasures and claim the coveted Island Soul.
