While Lost Ark is already in full swing in South Korea – and raking in the money for developer Smilegate -, the rest of the world is still waiting for a release.
Russia seems to be on the lead in this championship of sorts, with China coming a close second. North America and Europe are also playing this game, but we have no official announcement apart from Smilegate's CEO confirmation that it will happen.
Mail.Ru is Russia's Lost Ark publisher and the company has recently revealed the Founder's Packs (thanks MMOCulture) for this anticipated Diablo-Like MMORPG. You have the three usual flavors and grant access to the still unscheduled closed beta. However, there will be a wipe before the open beta begins.
As we mentioned before, Mail.Ru is the Lost Ark publisher for Russia and CIS regions, which means that even if the game isn't IP-blocked when the beta is live, it will surely happen further down the road, so resist the urge to spend your money in a game that you won't be able to play for long. Better wait for your regional launch, no matter how long it may take.
Smilegate is apparently considering a mobile version of Lost Ark as well as an Unreal Engine 4 revamp for the PC version. These are just rumors for now, but we'll see how it goes.
