Lost Ark was the hot new MMORPG of 2022, following its international release in February. The game has not entirely evaded criticism for its bugs, balance issues, excessively sexualized characters, orientation locked classes, and pay-to-win endgame progression. Nevertheless, it remains a popular contender to fill the MMO power vacuum that World of Warcraft left behind.

With the Korean MMO seeing massive accomplishment on PC, some might wonder assuming that console ports could be in Lost Ark's future. In fact, the subject came up during an interview with Amazon Game's Franchise Leader Soomin Park. While his answer was far from concrete, is appears that console versions are a possibility.

British game journalist Sherif Saed recently interviewed Park on a variety of subjects like distributing rights, the comparisons between Lost Ark and Diablo 3, and why Lost Ark took for such a long time to arrive in the west. It is in the context of the Diablo 3 comparisons that the question of console ports came up, with Saed noting that game's prosperity on multiple platforms. Unfortunately, Park wasn't able to offer a firm yes or no response as to whether Lost Ark might arrive on consoles any time soon. "Assuming Lost Ark on consoles is something that fans really want," he told Saed, "then I think it's something both parties would consider!"

By "both parties," Park is presumably referring to Amazon and Smilegate, who share distributing rights to the game. He clarified the company's relationship while explaining why Lost Ark isn't available in the Middle East or parts of Europe. Dissimilar to past Amazon Games titles like New World, the company doesn't claim Lost Ark. Rather, it is partnered with Korean distributer Smilegate RPG, who own the intellectual property rights. Park explained that the agreement doesn't give Amazon the right to distribute Lost Ark globally, only in certain areas of Europe, Oceania, and the Americas. Unfortunately, this makes it unclear if or when Lost Ark might arrive in new countries.

Another related question was the reason it took for such a long time for Lost Ark to arrive in the west. After all, the game's Korean release was in 2019, bit it only went international this year. Park didn't really have a clever response for why Amazon didn't approach Smilegate sooner but noted that Amazon made its move after seeing Lost Ark's popularity in the East.

He notes how entertainment is becoming increasingly global, with Korean music, films, and TV shows starting to encounter outcome in the West. According to Park, it's only natural that Korean video games would go with the same pattern. Amazon, it appears, was basically the first American company to take advantage of the country's gaming potential.
