The PC MMORPG from Smilegate and Amazon Games recently came to the West after being successful in South Korea.
Even though Lost Ark I had been enjoying a long time great popularity in South Koreathe MMORPG has reached exceed 20 million users worldwide, with the second highest peak of concurrent players in the history of Steam after its landing in the West at the hands of Amazon Games. The success of the Smilegate title has been limited to PCthe only platform on which it is at the moment, and since VG247 have asked Amazon Games about their plans on a possible version for consoles.
On this possibility, the comparison is born from the adaptation to console that Blizzard carried out with Devil III, another franchise that was also born designed for computers. “If Lost Ark for consoles is something fans really wantso I think both parties will consider!” Explained Soomin Park, responsible for the franchise at Amazon Games, referring to both them and Smilegate.
Although the answer is quite ambiguousthe fact that they have not ruled out an adaptation like the one we had with the Blizzard game is still encouraging. More blunt was the response from Amazon with respect to New World, rejecting the possibility that the title would come to consoles “within the foreseeable future”.
Amazon Games publishes the game in the West, but does not own the IPIn the interview, Park has recalled the issue of publication rights, being Smilegate the owners of intellectual property, and Amazon Games the publisher of the game in the West. “This partnership allows us to bring the game to select regions in North America, Europe, Oceania and South America, but does not allow us to publish the game globally or in regions where it has not previously been available,” Park said.
