The new hot game is called Lost Ark and it’s an action role-playing MMO for PC. Developed by Tripod Studio and Smilegate, this video game has broken into the western market with a firm step, to the point that there have been huge queues to access the games. Although the launch in Europe, the United States and Latin America took place a few days ago, the title is not new and it already has a commercial run in South Korea.
Under the free-to-play business model, Lost Ark debuted in the South Korean market on December 4, 2019. As in any MMO title, since its debut the developers have been adding content, so that for its release in Western countries, players can enjoy endless adventures, as well as a more polished product.

Banned in Belgium and the Netherlands
It was also in beta in Russia, while Belgium and the Netherlands are left without it due to laws against loot boxes. And it is that although the video game can be downloaded and played for free, several paid initiation packages are included: apprentice, explorer and winner. To all this we must add the different microtransactions within the game.
Lost Ark has been released on Steam with spectacular figures: in total, more than 1,300,000 concurrent users have enjoyed this RPG, as reflected by the peak of players on Valve’s platform. It has outperformed the likes of Counter Strike: Global Offensive, DOTA 2, PUBG, Apex Legends, GTA Online, and Dying Light 2: Stay Human. As if that weren’t enough, it was also the most viewed video game on Twitch (250,000 viewers).
