About These Changes
Lost Ark's publishing will transition from Amazon Games back to Smilegate, the game's original developer, with the transition targeted for early 2027. As part of preparing for that transition, we are adjusting our localization support ahead of time. Within the October update, we will cease supporting Spanish localization. The game will transition to English voice-over and text for players who previously selected Spanish. Our website will also reflect this change for a consistent experience across all platforms. Moving forward, we will be focusing our localization efforts on English support as we prepare to hand the game back to Smilegate. We appreciate your understanding as we work through this transition.
