Lost Ark Update Plan for the Second Half of 2025
content auto translated from {from}

Astrum Entertainment, together with Smilegate RPG (developer of [Lost Ark](/games?search=Lost Ark)), announced their plans to add new content to the game by the end of the year.

July: Major Changes

The main innovation in the July update will be the seasonal system "Pantheon of Heroes." This new activity format will challenge not only opponents but also the players themselves — each battle will be a test of skill! In [Lost Ark](/games?search=Lost Ark) players can also expect:

  • a special character development system with seasonal gear;

  • three different trial modes;

  • individual rankings for each class;

  • weekly and seasonal rewards for participation in the rankings.

Another important change is the alternative gear ranking system. It represents a numerical indicator of the character's development level and takes into account not only gear ranking but also other characteristics, allowing for a more accurate assessment of the character's combat effectiveness, not limited to just the refinement level.

Improvements and Overhauls

The update will also feature changes aimed at improving gameplay comfort and overhauling outdated systems.

  • Changes to the daily quests of the Ephon Union will reduce the amount of routine activities. Once reputation tasks are completed, their corresponding daily quests will disappear and become unavailable for completion, and their rewards will transition to the weekly task category.

  • Changes to the image storage will increase the number of slots and also allow players to try on even costumes that are not directly owned by the character.

  • The overhaul of the achievements system will bring changes not only to the interface but also allow players to earn experience points, and upon reaching certain levels, to claim unique rewards for ranks.

  • Additionally, the gem system is set to change: now they can be bound to the character, freely changing both type and effect, providing greater flexibility in character build customization.

Events and Additional Content

In addition to various changes, the July update will introduce game events with new quests and generous rewards. Players can look forward to familiar character development assistance systems like "Supermokoko Express" and "Akrasia Express": Story Mode, the "Masters of Time V" missions, and summer adventures on Maharak Island.

Furthermore, class balance changes, a solo battle mode against Abyss Guardian Egir, and the opportunity to develop reputation with Fadhu and Yuji in Southern Reimyar are also anticipated.

More details about these and other changes will be revealed by the developers closer to the update. Stay tuned for news on the website!
