The Trailer For Lost Ark's April Update Shows Off Big Battles And A New Class

Lost Ark's April update is on its way and, when it arrives, players will be facing the demon legions on the shores of South Vern in an attempt to bring down the Throne of Chaos. (You’ll get a taste of that in the game's latest trailer.) Of course, this means traveling to an all-new land, a place far different from its original form thanks to the settlers' use of varying technologies to change it from a barren wasteland to a thriving region filled with life. Here players will explore uncharted areas, meet new people, and perhaps discover what has the leaders of the continent so out of sorts. Like Punika, South Vern will be Tier 3 content. This means players will need an item level of 1340 to begin exploring the area.

In addition to the new region, the April update will also introduce the Glaivier Class. This spear-wielding class features two swappable skill sets, Focus and Flurry. Each has its own weapon. Both are spears, but contrary to what people may tell you…sometimes size does matter. In this case, it matters a lot. The Glaivier carries both a short spear used to rain attack after attack down on their opponent in Flurry stance and a longer glaive for sweeping attacks and lethal strikes in Focus stance. A proficient player will be able to use both of these to their advantage.

When the update arrives, it will also include quality of life changes for co-op, social settings, and more. Details on that can be found on the game’s Steam page.
