'Dear Friends,' the track that serves as the final farewell to the first chapter of Lost Ark, has officially hit streaming services.

Smilegate officially released the Lost Ark OST album 'Dear Friends' across major domestic and international music platforms on the 9th. The project features the vocals of singer Hyolyn, with the title track sharing the album's namesake, 'Dear Friends'.

The title track, 'Dear Friends', first debuted during the 'One Who Faced the End of the Abyss' episode, which focuses on the climactic showdown against Kazeros. It intricately weaves the narrative of the iconic character Armen, capturing his struggle against a shackled fate, the tears shed, and the longing for a cherished friend. Hyolyn’s mournful delivery amplifies the emotional stakes, leaving a lingering impact.

Smilegate has confirmed that all proceeds generated from the 'Dear Friends' streaming will be donated to those in need.

Before the official release, the publisher released the original version, an English rendition, and the instrumental 'Inst' version on the official Lost Ark YouTube channel on December 31st and January 7th.
