With the launch expected anytime today (February 11 as of writing), there has been a last minute Lost Ark delay. Lost Ark is a Korean MMORPG making the jump to the west, and it's been extremely popular during its closed beta and pre-launch period, with servers swelling due to the player count. The servers were closed down for maintenance today in preparation for the launch, but the Lost Ark delay has caused some confusion about when the game will be playable, so read on to find out.

Lost Ark Delay: When Will Lost Ark Be Back Up

The Lost Ark servers were supposed to be back up again at 5AM GMT (12AM EST/9PM PST) for the official launch, but just minutes before, the official game account tweeted about an untimely delay.

"Unfortunately, due to deployment issues, launch is delayed." before continuing, "We hope to have this resolved in a matter of hours. Your patience is appreciated and we'll update you soon." 

 

Obviously, this doesn't give us a set time on when to expect the game now, but it should hopefully be released by the end of the day. We also have no further information on what exact issues are plaguing the development end, but it's assumed that the team is all-hand-on-deck for fixing the problems. A lot of reports have surfaced about servers being overloaded and new ones coming in to spread the population a little, so it could be related to that.

That's all the information we have on the sudden Lost Ark delay, but keep your eyes peeled on the official Twitter for the announcement of when it will go live.
