As well as ushering in the Summoner Advanced class - which brings a “powerful variety of water, lightning, earth, and more unique attacks” to the MMORPG - we’ll also meet the “cunning and ruthless” Phantom Legion Commander and get a new Guardian raid that takes on Caliligos, “the master of lightning”, too. “His wings are as swift as wind, and the power of blue thunderbolts concentrate in his horn, sharper than any spears, to pierce the hearts of his enemies. As a ruler of the skies, he was worshipped in the past as a god. But Caliligos is no god - he’s a cruel ruler of the sky and a ruthless guardian.” We’ll also see new Tier 3 Progression Materials, higher level South Vern “Void” Chaos Dungeons, and Hard T3 Cube & Boss Rush activities as well as a new Neria’s Wardrobe, a festive Holiday Event, and a new accessory type: the Bracelet. The new Bracelet accessory increases character stats, and whilst it boasts perks, it doesn’t have Engravings slotted into it like other accessories because they have fixed bonuses and granted bonuses instead. For the full details, head on over to the official website. In the Lost Ark Eurogamer review, we said: “action-packed dungeons make Lost Ark’s early stages a real romp, but without a convincing hook beyond the combat, things get a little stale”. And don’t forget that a host of familiar faces from The Witcher are headed to Lost Ark, including Geralt, Yennefer, Triss, Dandelion and Ciri. Players in Lost Ark’s home country of South Korea can play this crossover now, while those elsewhere will get to explore the area in January 2023.
