Lost Ark Creators Talk About Update Plan for Several Months

The devs of the multiplayer RPG LOST ARK outlined what players can expect in Q2 2026. Short and to the point — but with a few surprises if you dig into the notes.

In April, the big item is the "Shadow Raid" plus new ancient gear of the fourth tier and an event shop. The raid will launch without the "Momentum" system; instead, it gets a fresh mode called "Nightmare" that joins the existing normal and heroic difficulties (i.e., it’s an additional high-intensity option).

May brings another event and shop rotation. Then June ramps things up: a new continent, continuation of the story, a battle pass and several other events are planned. The June Battle Pass carries an Eastern tales magic theme; its collection already appeared in the Korean version on December 10, 2025.

Quick reminder: late last year the Russian release rolled out the update “Cazeros: Finale”. Players got the "Fall of Cazeros" event and a host of other additions — some of which still resonate in current patch notes, esp. progression tweaks and event content.
