Smilegate and Amazon Games anticipated days ago that they were preparing a major update for Lost Ark this month. Well, you won’t have to wait any longer because it’s already available to download under the name of The Hunt for the Guardianslayerwhich has left us with a few news.
One of the most curious is the Arkesian Grand Prixwith which it will be possible to face a challenge completely different from anything else that has been seen in this MMORPG and on top of what is closest to Mario Kart, because the players will get fully into a racing circuit in which they will compete to be the fastest to reach the finish line.
It is a temporary event in which two teams of seven players will come together to transform into vehicles and face each other to discover which one is faster. To do this you can talk to a character that you will find in all the big cities, although it is necessary to have reached level 50 to participate.
Although this event will only be available for a month, what will come to stay is PvP mode. At last the players will be able to face each other in the first season in this way that will begin at the end of March, on a day to be specified. In these fights you can fight individually or in teams to obtain points, which will assign a certain rank to receive rewards at the end of the season.
In addition to all this, as we saw days ago, the story has been expanded with new quests, islands and cinematic sequences. In this new adventure, you will discover more about the sidereals while searching for the legendary Kadan, the first Guardian Killer. The only thing to finish Yorn’s quests first: «let the light be made», Whispering Islet: «The beginning of our history» and Bamboo Illusion Island: «The end of the tests».
And something that has been added is also the Abyss Assault, a fight against a powerful guardian in which several players, up to a maximum of eight, will need to join forces. All of them will face the mighty Argos with a time limit and the challenge of defeating him in three different levels, each with its own mechanics and rewards.
Otherwise, enter new cosmetic appearances, new bonuses for logging in and a long list of fixes that have been made, so just take a look at the patch notes to see all the changes that have been made.
