Smilegate's new multiplayer online role-playing online game, Lost Ark, released by Amazon Games, reached nearly 1 million simultaneous online players within 24 hours of its official launch.
Although the server can't keep up with demand, this means that The Lost Ark is currently the 5th game ever to have the number of simultaneously online steam players, after PUBG, CS:GO, Dota2, and Cyberpunk 2077.
According to SteamDB, The Lost Ark reached a staggering peak of 984,111 players overnight, surpassing Amazon's previously released New World's peak of 913,000 simultaneous online players.
"I love this trend of MMO that makes you feel really powerful from the start," Bertie wrote in his article, "the lost ark is exploding in popularity for self-evident reasons."
"It's so refreshing and it's delightful. Games like Black Desert and now The Lost Ark will make players laugh, which is good. "
"The Lost Ark" Hanbok has been in public beta as early as 2018, and recently it was launched globally on Steam, but there is still no national area.
