Lost Ark is a free-to-play isometric action MMORPG developed for PC by Smilegate RPG, and relaunched in the West by Amazon. Lost Ark is similar to the Diablo franchise and Path of Exile and features game modes and systems not typically found in Western MMOARPGs such as sailing, homesteading, affinity systems, harvesting and crafting, and much more. Lost Ark has been around for years in Asia, releasing first in Korea in December of 2018, and has become enormous after over 8 years of development. For context, it has over 3 million words, over 16,000 lines of dialogue, and over 1500 NPCs and is quite an undertaking to localize. It is now available F2P globally since February 11, 2022. The F2P launch currently suffers from a few server issues, especially in the Europe region, which make it tedious or impossible for many players to join or play.
