Heroes of Arkesia,
This weekend, Smilegate RPG showed off the major updates, content, and future for Lost Ark. We’re excited to discuss the future of Lost Ark in the west, and are in the process of finalizing our next roadmap video. Join Lost Ark team members Roxx, Henry, and Matt for Part 3 of the 2025 Roadmap on July 1, with a full deep dive into all the content arriving in July, August, and September. It will also provide further discussions about other major pieces of content arriving throughout the rest of 2025— featuring some of the biggest news in LOA ON along with Western exclusive news. While the full video won’t be ready until July 1, we know the community wants to know when some critical pieces of content are arriving, so to hold you over until the video, here’s some topline spoilers for the next few months!
2025 Roadmap - Part 3 Teaser
July
Summer Update Gift
First off, we know the community is always excited about the LOA ON gift sent to players. The LOA ON gift will be granted to all players in the Western version of Lost Ark in July, as a summer gift celebrating the launch of Paradise, a system designed to help increase progression and add more casual solo activities for the global audience.
New Progression System: Paradise
Launching in July, Paradise is a new seasonal solo progression system designed specifically for the global version of Lost Ark. Paradise helps players earn valuable rewards through three interconnected activities.
Solo Mode & Mokoko Bootcamp
Solo Aegir joins the roster with an updated Tier 4 reward shop
Mokoko Bootcamp returns with:
Aegir (Act 1) Hard Mode
Brelshaza (Act 2) Normal Mode
Quality of Life & System Updates
Skin Book System: Manage, preview, and craft all skins in a new streamlined interface—with the power increase system removed.
Una’s Task Overhaul: Dailies transition to weekly rewards after reputation completion, reducing daily grind
Balance Patch
Tripod & Epic Engraving Removal to simplify character systems
And many more QoL adjustments!
August
The long-awaited female Paladin arrives in August! You’ll have to tune into the roadmap for the western name reveal. It will be accompanied by progression events to help new and existing players alike level up quickly. The Prestige Shop will also launch for players to exchange prestige points for some exciting new items.
September
The continent of Rimeria faces a new threat, as Abyssal Beasts have emerged. It’s up to you to stop them. For players familiar with this content in Korea, players often referred to it as the ‘Strike Raid’. The limited time event will be called Assault: Rimeria, in the West. This limited-time event includes two new playable activities:
1–4 Player Event Dungeon
8-Player Endgame Event Raid
We hope this tease was enough to hold you over until July 1. Join us then for the full roadmap diving further into each of these months, and some major moments arriving throughout the rest of the year. In the meantime, we’ll see you in Arkesia.
