Lost Ark animated series revealed: Release date, how to watch, more

Lost Ark is an MMOARPG that has just hit Western audiences recently, and the popular game is now getting its own animated series.

While many South Korean players have had their hands on Lost Ark since 2018, the game just made its appearance to Western audiences in late 2021.

Compared heavily to its fellow Amazon Games MMO, New World, Lost Ark has had much better reception since its Western beta launch, and a new animated series based on the game looks to keep the momentum rolling.

Here’s everything we know about the Heroes of Arkesia reveal, including the release date, how to watch, and its plot.
