Heroes of Arkesia,

The August Update arrives next week, packed with changes built to make everyday life in Arkesia better! The major August Update will include many of the changes discussed within the 2024 Roadmap - Part 3[www.playlostark.com] that we recently shared, including Indigo Island, Bound Gold, QoL improvements, and more— but we wanted to provide a few updates before its release. Our ‘Eye On Arkesia’ video series will be returning next month to cover these type of updates and what players can expect throughout the month.

The Echidna Raid nerfs will be arriving in August, but later in the month. Our teams at Amazon Games and Smilegate RPG are still working to fine-tune the adjustments. We are currently planning to release these changes in the weekly update on August 28, and will provide details leading up to that update.

Additionally, while we hoped to release the Style Book feature in the August Update, our teams hit a delay while preparing this feature for release in the West. We will continue working on preparing it for release in the West and will provide an update as soon as we have an updated plan.

Make sure to check out the 2024 Roadmap - Part 3[www.playlostark.com] for an overview of the major pieces of content arriving over the next four months in Arkesia, and stay tuned for the full August Release Notes next week, which will detail the full slate of changes arriving. In the meantime, we’ll see you in Arkesia!
