by | Last updated Feb 1, 2024

Despite an unfortunate delay to 2022, the hype for Lost Ark is gearing back up again, with the Lost Ark Closed Beta on the way. Now, SmileGate have released some extra information about the upcoming beta, as well as some extra news – let’s take a look!

Lost Ark Closed Beta Extended

In their original announcement, SmileGate revealed we’d be getting a few days of beta in November. However, this has now been extended to a whole week, with beta lasting from 4 – 11 November. 

This is great news for anyone who wants to try out the game before launch, as it means there will be a bunch more time to play. Use it wisely! 

New Lost Ark Testing Content Revealed

While the closed beta is going back to basics, with the main focus being “technical aspects such as server stability, tech integrations, and large scale bug testing”, we’re also getting some additional content. 

This includes all-new prologues, a way to easily test all the characters, and the entire continent, including all the dungeons. Essentially, you’ll be able to play the full game in the beta! All the endgame content will be included too, so it’s just a matter of how much gaming you can get in during the week of testing. 

How To Sign Up For Lost Ark Beta

If you want to play the beta in November, you’ll have to do one of two things. You can either pre-purchase a Founder’s Pack, which gives you a ton of rewards, as well as guaranteed beta access. 

However, if you don’t want to spend any money, you can simply sign up on the Lost Ark website. The only drawback of this option is that you might not be selected to play the beta – so best of luck to anyone signing up.
