Lost Ark is an action RPG, similar to Diablo in many ways, that’s been out in Korea for years. The free-to-play MMO has seen a lot of success in Korea and Japan, and has since expanded to Russia - but a Western release remained elusive for all that time. Well, no more. Developed by Smilegate RPG (a branch of Crossfire publisher Smilegate), Lost Ark takes place in Arkesia, a massive world with a large number of visually distinct biomes. The current version offers 15 classes, and can be played solo or in co-op - though it is always online. Lost Ark has impressive visuals, and action-packed combat. Western players have been trying to get their hands on it for years, and those who couldn’t wait for a localised version have had to rely on fan translations and VPNs to play it.
