Lost Ark Reveals Exact Launch Times And Dates, Pre-Downloads Start February 7
With just over a week to go until Lost Ark’s highly-awaited western launch, Amazon Games Studios has released detailed launch information, exact launch times, and available regions.
“Launch is rapidly approaching, and we want to make sure that you have all the details you need to feel prepared for your coming adventures in Arkesia. We’ll continue to share information between now and launch, but today we wanted to focus on ensuring you know key timings, how you’ll have access if you preordered, and are able to plan out which server you and your friends are going to make your home.”
The three-day head start for players who pre-ordered the game will begin on Tuesday, February 8th at 9:00 am PST and will be available to players in the US West, US East, EU Central, and SA East. Anyone who wants to jump in ahead of the pack will still be able to pre-order the game during the head start and will get immediate access for the remainder of the head start period. Pre-order sales will be available only until the game’s official launch on Friday, February 11th at 9:00 am PST.
Amazon also explained that the opening times for specific content such as raids, dungeons, and PvP events will be different for each region and will be based on the best local time as follows:
- US West UTC-7
- US East UTC-4
- EU Central UTC+1
- SA East UTC-3
“This means that a dungeon meant to open at 7PM on server time (UTC) will be open for US West 7 hours later to make it more playable/accessible for US West players,” said the team. “Please note that after the game is launched, server reset times may be adjusted slightly to best fit player and server needs.”
The client will be available for pre-download starting on Monday, February 7th at 9:00 am PST. More information can be found on the Lost Ark official site.
