Korean MMORPG Lost Ark's Second Closed Beta to be announced on August 25th

Lost Ark has been in development for quite some time, and seems development isn't over yet for the upcoming Korean MMORPG that wants to make it big. Smilegate, developer of Lost Ark, has confirmed that the second Closed Beta for Lost Ark will be announced on August 25th, with some players who have registered having received invitations on August 21st.

Facing Lost Ark are more challenges than just publishing their game in Korea. Black Desert Online has managed to capture a large amount of the market share in both Korea and in the West, and Lost Ark has an uphill battle if they want to call themselves "successful." Additionally, news of a Western release has yet to come - a potential market that Smilegate would want to tap into.
