Lost Ark’s release is just around the corner, and fans excited about the game can become an Amazon Prime Gaming member to score some serious loot.
Though it actually released in other countries way back in 2019, Lost Ark is finally releasing worldwide after seeing a ton of success in Korea, Russia, and Japan. Lost Ark is coming to the U.S. through Amazon, who is acting as the worldwide publisher for Smilegate RPG.
Immediately, the game looks to be much like Diablo 3 or Path of Exile, which are two other popular top-down action RPGs. However, Lost Ark is much more than endless combat, as evidenced by the numerous activities available to players that have nothing to do with smashing through waves of enemies.
Because of the numerous possible avenues to enjoy the game through, many players will want to try out as many activities as possible. To make this easier, the game features a shop that allows players to purchase effects and items to improve their experience. For those with an Amazon Prime Gaming subscription, Amazon has announced there will be tons of rewards available to Lost Ark players, allowing players to gain access to some of these items.
The first bundle offer is given to any player willing to try Prime Gaming, and that bundle is also the largest. It consists of a crystaline aura that gives a character some huge buffs, an amethyst shard pack that can be used for in-game purchases, and 3 battle chests that give players items for healing, utility, and offense-based characters. Throughout February, Prime Gaming members will also receive more rewards for the game.
With Lost Ark detailing server launch times and pre-loading, players will want to pounce on these deals as soon as possible, as rewards like these can run up quite the tab in the game's shop. Lost Ark runs on a free-to-play model, with its in-game shop's items being purchasable through shards, which can be purchased with real money. Furthermore, the game's item system is heavily upgrade-based; to improve items, players must use the upgrade system to boost a gear piece's power. However, the upgrade system costs materials to use, and while these materials can be farmed, when upgrading a gear piece the upgrade has the chance to fail. The materials for upgrading can be purchased with real money, so the system itself seems to be built around monetization.
However, the monetization shouldn't scare players away; though it can be frustrating, Lost Ark is free to try out, and many players are loving much of what the game has to offer, such as Lost Ark's extensive character customization. For those sure about investing time into the game, or for those already subscribed to Amazon Prime Gaming, tons of rewards are waiting to be claimed to enhance the gaming experience.
Lost Ark launches on February 11 for PC.
Based on the graphical upgrade shown off during The Wolf Among Us 2’s reveal trailer, Telltale Games fans have a lot to look forward to.
