We’re now less than a month away from the official launch of Lost Ark here in the west, and if you thought for even a minute that Amazon and Smilegate were about to let up on the gas in this home stretch, think again. Today, the companies have dropped yet another video for the game, this one a five-plus-minute primer for the world of the game. Yes, this is not just a mindless clicker; there’s an actual story in there, the cities are distinct and have their own backstories, and the “ark” in the game’s title isn’t just for kicks.
“Arkesia was created with the power of The Ark, that power drew the attention of the evil Kazeros,” the team says. “The Ark was broken into seven pieces and scattered around the world and Kazeros has sent his army to Arkesia to find it. It’s up to you to find The Ark before the demon army and protect Arkesia from ruin. Explore the land and cultures, learn skills, and meet your allies as you prepare for battle.” Enjoy.
