For many players, the announcement of the launch of Lost Ark, a Korean MMO halfway between action-RPG and hack’n slash, has the effect of a bomb as players have been stamping their feet with impatience since 2018 at the start of the game. idea of getting your hands on it. Passed through the early access box, a few days ago, the launch of the game, scheduled for today at 6 p.m., encountered some problems!
Definitely, massively multiplayer online games have had their share of technical problems in recent months! At the very beginning of October, it’s the MMO of Amazon Games, New Worldwho tripped over the carpet and had to face to many worries (queue, server problems, etc.) which marred its launch.
Same story on the side of Final Fantasy XIV : the launch of the extension Endwalker ended in an amazing decision from Square Enix to counter the massive influx of players eager to experience this extension acclaimed by all, including by the press: stop the sale of the game, at least for a while, so that the development teams can provide a solution and be able to meet the demand.
Lost Ark follows in the footsteps of his colleagues
Today is therefore Lost Ark which continues the unfortunate tradition of complicated launches of the latest MMOs. As for Final Fantasy XIV : Endwalkerthe popularity rating of the Smilegate title is, in part, the cause of the abrupt decision to postpone the game’s release. Launched a few days earlier in early access, the game has been so popular and attracted new players that the game’s Twitter account had to announce the bad news.
Unfortunately, due to deployment issues, launch is delayed. We hope to have this resolved in a matter of hours.

In the space of a few months, Amazon – which takes care of the localization and publishing of the Korean game in our European countries – will therefore have had the right to a second chaotic launch! Bad luck for the American giant and Smilegate, especially since at present, as indicated by the message posted on Twitter, the launch of the game is postponed to an hour, or even to an indefinite date.
Initially planned to be deployed, with us, around 6 p.m. this Friday, February 11, Lost Ark must revise his copy. If the teams working on the game are confident and hope that the problem will be fixed within the next few hours, the blur settles on the moment of the launch : tonight, tomorrow, during the weekend? Hard to say. However, the developers are asking for the patience of the players, and they will come back to them soon with, we hope, good news!
