Lost Ark’s free-to-play launch has been delayed

The MMORPG needs a bit more time.

Amazon Games and Smilegate have delayed Lost Ark’s launch.

The action MMORPG was staggeringly successful during its early access period, to the point that the development team is holding off on launching the free-to-play component for now.

“Unfortunately, due to deployment issues, launch is delayed. We hope to have this resolved in a matter of hours,” reads a statement on Twitter. “Your patience is appreciated and we’ll update you soon.”

Launch issues are bound to happen with popular MMORPGs. Steam could barely keep up with Lost Ark’s downloads and pre-loads earlier this week. Who knew “suffering from success” was totally valid!
