Lost Ark was released about a year ago in our west and was an enormous success for publisher Amazon and the Korean developer Smilegate – with over 1.3 million players at the same time, the MMORPG was even able to outperform CS:GO at times.
Now the servers are much emptier and up until a few weeks ago over 60 percent of the players were still cheaters or bots.
With its new update, Lost Ark now wants to bring people back and let it rip in really massive PvP battles.
This is what awaits you in the PvP mass battles
With his next big update in March Lost Ark once again gets new content, this time on the newly added continent of Rowen. This is fought over by two different factions, the authoritarian Preigelli and the rebellious Liebertanen.
If you have reached an item level of 1445, you can choose between the two sides after completing the introductory quest. Once you’ve made your mind up, you can collect faction XP in co-op quests with other players, so you can rank up in the factions and earn Sylmael Blood Crystals, which you can exchange for lots of cool loot – such as special skins and mounts.
But the highlight of this confrontation is the massive PvP battles: Two teams of 48 players each compete on the Tulubik battlefield.
Here you have to conquer bases, ring the bells of other players – and if your team has collected enough resources, you can even call on a ghost knight for support.

There is no official trailer for the new update yet, which is why we are including a YouTube video for you, in which you can watch a full battle on the Tulubik battlefield.
The update is scheduled to appear in March, and Amazon plans to reveal an exact release date next week.
