New World and Lost Ark are the two giants that Amazon is currently developing. While Lost Ark has been available in Korea for years, the studio took on its publishing responsibilities for the western world (Europe and North America). Originally, the game was set to release sometime in late 2021, with New World launching on 31st August of the same year. Of course, this was after New World was initially delayed from the summer of 2020. <\/p>\n
Now, as we head into September, Amazon has yet to fully release New World, another delay backed it up to late September, and Lost Ark is also being delayed until “early 2022.”<\/a> <\/p>\n While Lost Ark is still developed by Smilegate, Amazon is at the head, making many out-of-game decisions. As the publisher, Amazon essentially determines when the game will be released and any business decisions that go along with it.<\/p>\n When Lost Ark announced its delay into early 2022, many fans chose to blame Amazon for delaying another title, the first being New World. However, some fans conspired that Amazon is delaying Lost Ark so as to not diminish the hype for New World. Its delay brought it closer to Lost Ark’s original release date and Amazon might not have wanted its two MMOs to launch so close to each other.<\/p>\n Please read this letter regarding Lost Ark’s Closed Beta and Official Launch. pic.twitter.com\/jSSnrrxk6w<\/a><\/p>\n — Lost Ark (@PlayLostArk) September 1, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n \nAmazon Games delays Lost Ark until 2022<\/h2>\n
