Lost Ark is the latest MMORPG to hit the western shores of video gaming and it has already garnered a massive amount of hype in the gaming community.

Unlike many launches in 2022, Lost Ark is not a new game as it has existed since 2019. Developed jointly by Tripod Studios and Smilegate RPG, the game is being brought to the western audience by Amazon Games. The game has been a hit since its origin and has several rewards in the time being.

The western launch of Lost Ark is scheduled for February 11 and the game is completely free-to-play. There is even a bonus early-access window for those who have invested in a founder's pack. Without knowing the minute details, owners of the Founders packs could miss out on potential golden hours in which they can enjoy the game before others.
