Amazon Games announced that it will release Smilegate RPG’s free-to-play MMORPG Lost Ark in North America and Europe. The game — which is currently available in Korea, China, and Russia — will launch for PC in fall 2021, with a beta planned for summer 2021.

Lost Ark takes players to the fantasy world of Arkesia, where they seek to find the eponymous Lost Ark in order to stop demonic forces overrunning the world. The game features five main classes — Warrior, Gunner, Martial Artist, Mage, and Assassin — with fourteen advanced classes. Players are able to customise their skills with the Tripod System, which lets them apply three different upgrades.

The game will include PvP modes, including duels and open-world battles for control of islands. Players will also be able to claim their own island stronghold, building up and decorating a settlement, and expanding it for up to fifty guest players and NPCs.
