After the successful start last month (with associated long server queues), Lost Ark will soon have new content. In March, both new content and a bunch of bug fixes will be released. The date they will be released will be announced later and then we will also receive the entire change list. There will also be a roadmap that outlines the direction in the coming months. But already now we get to know a little about what awaits.

There is more story material. Kadan is a new storyline with new quests and you will then visit the islands Isteri and Illusion Bamboo. This requires you to pass the continent of Feiton and three quests, and your item level should be at least 1,100. Furthermore, there will be new engame material in the form of Abyss Raids. There are time-limited battles against strong monsters and made for eight players. You can read more about both of these content updates here.

About the update, it is announced that there may be a solution to problems with matchmaking on the European servers. It is being tested and if it works well, it will be announced as soon as possible. There is also talk of continued long queues for the European servers. It is difficult to get more players in there and more servers can not be added, so the developers try to make the experience as good as possible for those who actually come in, they say. That, and some other update news, you have here.

The free to play MMO Lost Ark attracted 1.3 million Steam players simultaneously shortly after its February 11 premiere. Of course, the number has dropped since then, but with about 550,000 players at the same time recently and about 800,000 - 900,000 at most per day in the last week, it is still a force to be reckoned with.
