That’s right, the Lost Ark Artist subclass is coming to the West incredibly soon, after a successful launch last year in the Korean version of the game Smilegate and Amazon MMORPG. The Lost Ark Artist release date comes as the game wants to start bridging the gap between content releases in different regions, so the West doesn’t have to wait so long for new content.
Amazon Games has previously told – Game News that Year Two of Lost Ark aims to “significantly close the gap” between regions, and that Artist could be the start of that plan. “I can say that we expect to significantly narrow the gap between Western build and Korean build in our second year compared to our first year,” Amazon Games Franchise Leader Soomin Park told us.
You can play as a Lost Ark artist on March 15 in the Westas confirmed by the official Lost Ark Twitter account.
As mentioned, the Artist class has been available on Korean MMO game servers for a while, but now they are coming to the West. This time gap also has many factors behind it, which Amazon Games calls “growing pains” in our full interview with the studio.
The Lost Ark Artist is a support class, and you can even see a full breakdown of his abilities and tripods (localized and based on max level scaling) in a Reddit thread from last year.
There is also a lot of speculation as to what class structure the artist will fit into in the western version of Lost Ark, but in Korea this is the only subclass of the Specialist category, it will be therefore probably introduced on March 15th. We also don’t know if there will be a bigger Lost Ark patch when the artist releases, but some changes can be expected.
The arrival of the artist is sure to change our Lost Ark class tier list, which can help you decide on your next class revamp in the MMO. We also have the reward and location for each Lost Ark Mokoko seed, if you are missing any.
