Heroes of Arkesia,
The second half of 2026 has a packed lineup. From new Extreme raids and Paradise Season 4 to a brand-new class arriving later this year, here's what's coming from July through September.
JULY
The July update brings the heat with our first Extreme raid, the return of Paradise, and highly requested solo raid options.
KAZEROS RAID: ACT 1 EXTREME
Aegir, the Oppressor returns in an all-new Extreme difficulty. Three difficulty tiers offer escalating challenges for 8-player parties:
Normal: Item Level 1720 or higher
Hard: Item Level 1750 or higher
Nightmare: Item Level 1770 or higher
Extreme mode can be entered once per Roster per week, and all three difficulties share the weekly clear opportunity. In Normal and Hard difficulties, the Individual Revival system is active (each character can revive once per attempt). In Nightmare, Individual Revival is not available.
Rewards include gold, exclusive crafting materials, and a Legendary Title for those who conquer Nightmare.
PARADISE SEASON 4
A new season of Paradise arrives with updated mechanics, new rewards, and a fresh leaderboard.
SOLO RAID EXPANSION
Based on your feedback, we're bringing Solo Mode to two more raids earlier than originally planned:
Kazeros Raid Act 4: Fortress of Destruction
Kazeros Raid Denouement: Final Day
We've also added a new matchmaking mode for Shadow Raid: Serca. This mode is designed as an accessible way to experience the fight, featuring unlimited revives, no full-party wipe condition, and matchmaking similar to Guardian Raids. Whether you're learning the encounter or just want a more relaxed clear, this mode has you covered.
SUMMER EVENTS AND COSMETICS
Jump into the Summer Night Festival Island, gear up with summer swimwear skins, and pick up the Noodle Mount, Butler Pet, and an exclusive summer wallpaper.
AUGUST
KAZEROS RAID: ACT 2 EXTREME
The Extreme raid series continues with a reworked version of Kazeros Raid Act 2. More details will be shared closer to August.
SERVER MERGE
A server merge is planned for August to consolidate the player population and improve matchmaking, party finding, and overall community activity. More details on timing and affected servers will be shared closer to the date.
SEPTEMBER
NEW CLASS: WARPWEAVER
A brand new class joins the roster in September. The name Warpweaver is a working title and may change before launch, but here's an early look at what this class brings to Arkesia. The Warpweaver wields clock-hand weapons and manipulates time and space to devastate enemies. With high mobility, attacks that boost speed and cut cooldowns, and a guaranteed-hit skill that opens spatial rifts to strike regardless of position, this class brings something entirely new to Arkesia.
Two combat styles offer distinct playstyles:
Time Manager — A Hit Master build that lets you save and return to a previous timeline, restoring cooldowns, HP, and position.
Spatial Swordsman — A Back Attack build that uses spatial rifts to guarantee Back Attacks from any angle.
The Warpweaver is relatively easy to control and starts with 6 Relic Cores. It will come alongside:
Base Camp
A class launch skin
A 2026 Global Exclusive skin variant
BASE CAMP
A brand-new progression experience arrives alongside the new class. Base Camp is a reimagined express event connected to a dedicated island where new and returning players arrive at the Mokoko Training Center. Through guided missions, players will progress to Item Level 1700 with pre-enhanced equipment, no manual honing required. The island also features minigames and events that all players can enjoy.
NERIA'S DRESSROOM
A new collection arrives in Neria's Wardrobe for all classes.
We're excited about what's ahead and will share more details as each update approaches. As always, thank you for being part of the Lost Ark community.
See you in Arkesia!
