As the year draws to a close, it’s time for 2024 roadmaps. The latest to release one is Lost Ark, with part 1 of the new roadmap updating us all on what to expect through sometime in the spring. Expect more of the big battles, harder and more challenging raid content, new character classes, the second anniversary, and much more.
In January, we can expect the Inferno difficulty level of the Brelshaza Legion Raid. This is the highest difficulty possible, and while there will be glory,there will be exclusive rewards like new titles, achievements, and Stronghold Structures. When this is added to the available options, you’ll require item level 1560 just to get in the door, including a full build created in the Book of Coordination.
February will be a month of celebration and challenge. For those who are feeling more brave than festive, Valtan Extreme is coming, in both Normal and Hard difficulties. Expect first-time clear rewards for the first two gates, and more drops when you clear again. Lost Ark will also mark the second anniversary of the Western launch, with a series of events as part of the Arkesia Festival. Expect new weekly co-op event quests, and more to come. The team will announce details on rewards and additional content later, including “an additional event that will take players on a trip down memory lane and lead them to earn rewards”.
In March, we get the next new class, the Breaker. This class is coming to the West in March, and is a male version of the Scrapper. Designed to be fast and hit hard, he uses Heavy Gauntlets and unleashes combos, using his high mobility to maneuver in and out and strike. Expect progression events and a new Powerpass too.
The Light of Destiny is coming. This big update to the main story promises to be one of the biggest updates of them all in this regard. It will reveal the location of the Lost Ark itself. With this, Chapter 1 will get closer to its end (but the team has planned for three).
If those weren’t enough, Thaemine Prelude arrives, with a new series of story quests that will lead into April’s Thaemine Legion Raid.
Also in April is the new Transcendence Gear Progression system, the Vescal Guardian Raid, and much more.
