What is new and fixed in Lost Ark Update Today? – February 8, 2023
NEW CONTINENT – ROWEN
Embark on new adventures, encounter a new cast of characters, and choose your faction in a new continent; Rowen.
Rowen is a continent located west of Shushire, that’s filled with Sylmael; crimson jewels that are a precious resource in Arkesia. After a prosperous ancient civilization disappeared, Rowen was forgotten from Arkesia’s history. However, when rumors about the abundant crimson jewels covering the land spread, factions coveting the jewels have begun mustering their forces in Rowen.
