The ban hammer dropped shortly afterward. SteamDB shows Lost Ark concurrent player figures decreasing to around 250K this weekend, whereas just a week ago the game reached 834K concurrent players. It may be too early to celebrate as some of those bans are undoubtedly temporary rather than permanent. Still, right now the vibe appears to have changed while the game remains among the top played titles on Steam even without all the bots. Content-wise, Lost Ark players can expect the Legion Raid Vykas, the Guardian Raid Kungelanium, and the new single player dungeon experience Thronespire in June. Next month, the developers are adding the new Arcanist advanced class, Inferno difficulty to the Valtan Legion Raid, and the Challenge Abyssal Dungeons.
