SmileGate has just released the April 2022 Update for Lost Ark, bringing a wave of fixes and improvements to the popular Free to Play title. Thankfully, they’ve also released a full changelog for the updates, which you can check out below.

Lost Arc April Update

There’s some pretty cool stuff here too, such as the addition of a new advanced class, the Glaivier. More significantly, there’s new land to explore with the addition of a new continent called South Vern. Those two things alone give you plenty to do, however, you can also find two Progression Events, and new updates in the store too.

You’ll now be able to have up to 18 characters rather than 12 too, allowing you to explore more ways to play. As you can see, there are quite a lot of tweaks and improvements beyond this, adding additional controller settings, bug fixes, etc.

If you’re eager to check out the update, just remember to let Steam download the update before you play. Of course, don’t forget to read through the changelog below while you wait.
