Lost Ark – Winter's Wrath

Act 2 Solo Mode – The Allied Forces have set out across Kurzan to create a strong barrier to protect their forces. But in a key region needed to be secured for the plan to succeed, they face Brelshaza in a harsh, icy battleground, providing the perfect backdrop for Brelshaza's chilling new powers. Players can now join in solo to help the Allied Forces in the war against Kazeros Legions. The solo battle will be available to players Item Level 1670 or above.
Act 3 Solo Mode – New and old foes will need to be vanquished, with the reappearance of Thaemine and the emergence of new threats from the Abyss. Players will be able to join in solo and challenge Kazeros Raid Act 2: Night of Storms and Darkness. Players must meet Item Level 1680 or above to complete the solo battle.
South Rimeria Event Powerpass – A free South Rimeria Event Powerpass will be available for all players to use from December 17, 2025 to February 4, 2026. This Powerpass will drop players off in Elnead as if they've just completed the South Rimeria storyline, granting Item Level 1640 gear. While the changes that remove gold cost from Tier 3 honing have not yet arrived, this powerpass will let players skip Tier 3 and move right to the beginning of Tier 4 on a chosen character.
Freja Holiday Event – The Freja Holiday Event returns along with the Steaming Hot Springs mini-game. An event feast will be included, along with a new event shop where event tokens can be spent on a variety of impactful progression materials. The Event Tokens and Freja Stars can also be earned by completing daily activities, such as Chaos Dungeons and Guardian Raids.
Store Updates – Celebrate the winter wonderland of Arkesia in style this year with the new Winter Night Cosmetic Collection. Feel the joy of the season while accompanied with the new Bread Dog pet, soar gracefully on the new Owl Mount and triport festively with the new instrument skins.
Progression Updates – Elixirs and Transcendence have been removed as individual progression systems and have been integrated into other aspects of character progression. Ark Passive Evolution has been extended to add a 5th tier of character related options. Tier 4 will also have 6 Nodes. The Chaos/Order effects of Elixirs will be absorbed into the 4 new main Nodes.
