Lost Ark’s early access period only began, but the MMORPG is already tearing-up Steam charts.
As of this post, Lost Ark already has more than 530,000 concurrent players on Steam, making it another smash-hit for Amazon Game Studios.
What is Lost Ark?
Lost Ark is an isometric action RPG, similar to the Diablo series, only with far-more explosive particle effects and a metric ton of MMO elements much like Final Fantasy 14. Lost Ark was initially released in Korea back in 2019, but it’s only now coming out in North America and Europe on Feb. 11, with early access beginning Feb. 8 at 9 A.M. PDT // 12 P.M. EDT.
