Lost Ark has launched in the West two months ago, revealing plenty of material based on the game version released in South Korea in 2019. There have been a lot of features and stuff to uncover for players, but Amazon Games is already working on more. A previously leaked roadmap hinted at the impending content that gamers should expect, but the official roadmap has finally been revealed. 

According to Amazon, the forthcoming material would be "focused on horizontal content" and "offering gamers clear avenues for growth without feeling the need to pay." This implies that new events with progression rewards will be introduced, and the introduction of high-end content, like Legion Raids, will be postponed. 

Roadmap for the Raiders of the Lost Ark 

Updates for April

While the leaked roadmap suggested that the Destroyer class will be available in April, it will not be available until May. Instead, the Glaivier will be the first class to enter the line-up. 
The Glaivier is a skilled Martial Artist who holds a spear and a glaive. As a result, each weapon has a unique set of powers. It was heavily desired by many players, and there's little question it'll be popular in the game once it's released. 
The introduction of the South Vern region is the other major upgrade in April. It will pave the door for new story missions and materials to help you level up your equipment. To travel to this zone and accomplish tasks, you must have an item level of 1,340.

Updates for May 

The Destroyer, a Warrior subclass carrying a massive hammer, will be the second new class to enter the roster. They will use stagger machines to "slow, launch, push, and drag adversaries." 
With Trial Guardian Raids, May will also usher forth a new type of content. Every week, there will be three bosses to vanquish to win prizes. However, unlike the Event Guardian Raids, they will not be fought all at once, and the difficulty will be enhanced. 
The developer also stated that the Deskaluda Guardian Raid and Valtan's Legion Raid will not be launched in May. It will be dependent on average player progression to ensure that it is not published too soon, as was the case with the Argos raid, which was launched in March. "Our objective is to deliver engaging material for gamers, even if it's at a higher level," Amazon stated. 
Deskaluda and Valtan will require a 1,415 item level. Valtan's Legion Raid will include teams of eight players instead of four, with a higher difficulty and more checkpoints as you move through the combat.
