Lost Ark Unveils Early 2023 Roadmap, Includes The Witcher Crossover And Artist Class

As we near the end of the year, we’ll likely be seeing more and more posts about what studios have planned for their respective games next year. For Lost Ark, Smilegate and Amazon will be ringing in the new year with a crossover event with The Witcher.

“A beautiful island’s festivities have been interrupted by a mystifying vortex. Uncovering the mysteries will lead to encounters with iconic characters from The Witcher on an all-new island and in new event quests!”

Players can also look forward to Lost Ark’s 1st anniversary celebration in February along with new content drops spread out over the first four months of the year. These include various guild improvements, a new high-level continent called Rowen, a new 48v48 PvP instance, the Hard mode for the Brelshaza Legion Raid, the Hanumatan Guardian Raid, and the new Artist class which will be making her debut in April 2023.

“The Artist is capable of tactical versatility with illusion powers from her brush, and specializes in supporting her team. With her magical brush and flowing ink, the Artist can either choose to attack foes directly or summon holy beasts by painting them,” teased the devs.
