Some examples of these changes can already be seen through various pieces of media. On the game’s website, players can check out Lost Ark’s class customization system. They’ll notice that the woman brandishing the example martial artist class is now Black, and many others now have varying skin tones as well, making Smilegate’s MMO less homogeneous. Additionally, the NPC Federico’s design has changed to feature a darker skin tone and a beard, shown in the Reddit post above.
And while many are concerned that Lost Ark’s changes will occur across the board, the adjustments made to diversity will only affect the western versions of the game.
Lost Ark will release in Fall 2020 for PC.
