Lost Ark has officially released its new class, the 'Guardian Knight', which was previously unveiled during their showcase.

Smilegate RPG announced on the 10th that it has begun its massive winter update for Lost Ark, starting with the release of the new class, 'Guardian Knight'. The Guardian Knight wields a massive halberd and operates by building up the 'Amberress Orb Gauge' during combat to unleash the power of the Guardian, 'Amberress'. Once the gauge reaches its maximum, the player enters an 'Incarnation' state to use enhanced skills.

To coincide with the new class update, a growth event for the Guardian Knight will run until April 1st of next year. Players who reach specific item levels with the Guardian Knight will receive various rewards, including exclusive titles, weapon avatars, and a 'Legendary Core Selection Chest'. The winter festivities also include the 'Mokoko Challenge Express' and other content. Players can participate in 'Silent Night, Return of the Snowflake Argos', special attendance events, and an event shop.

Meanwhile, Smilegate RPG will operate the '2025 Lost Ark Winter Goods Shop: Dream-Baba's Hope Store' via KakaoTalk Gift starting at noon on the 12th. The shop will sell 13 types of products, including new items such as SD figures, mood lamps, random figures, and a 2026 calendar set. Buyers will receive a 'Lost Ark Collection Card' for each item purchased, and the proceeds from the goods sales will be used for social contribution activities to support children and adolescents.
