Lost Ark – the action-packed MMO developed by Smilegate RPG and published by Amazon Game – has finally arrived in the West, and it seems to be rather popular. According to SteamDB‘s statistics, the game has over 530k concurrent players, over 1 million concurrent viewers on Twitch, and over 96% positive reviews. The average playtime estimations are 2-3 hours.
The team will continue to monitor server populations and queues, as they already had to open another server in the NA West region.
This Steam user review summarizes the game as the following:
“Only one word comes to mind after my 10 hrs playing this game…AMAZING. It blends the best of both ARPGs and MMORPGs extremely well. I never felt too overpowered but, I never felt underpowered either (playing all dungeons solo on Hard).”
Legends of Lost Ark event is also ongoing, where you have to watch your favorite Twitch streamers for valuable Lost Ark Twitch drops. More details about this event can be found here.
Lost Ark opens its free-to-play gates on February 11th, 2022. You can still join the head-start by purchasing the Founder’s pack.
