The Lost Ark welcomes the new year with a slew of playable content, starting in January 2023 with a Witcher collaboration event where players will encounter iconic characters from The Witcher series on an all-new island. The event also features Witcher-themed cosmetics, cards and emoticons that will be available in the shop. A new type of PvP, the 96-player Tulubik Battlefield, will arrive in the game, with faction rank 5 and item level 1490 required to participate. Players will also explore a new raid, called the Hanumatan Guardian, to earn rewards and ancient accessories.
