Smilegate is kicking off the 8th anniversary celebration event for the official release of Lost Ark on November 4. Players can dive into an event island, a capsule draw event, attendance rewards, and a PC bang party time.

Running from November 4 to December 2, a spooky nighttime version of Arkland known as the event island 'Spooky Arkland' makes its grand appearance. By following hints, the developer invites players to experience terrifying tales hidden across the island, complete bingos, and grab 'Creepy Gift Boxes' loaded with gold and random goodies. Clearing the entire bingo board grants an 8th anniversary celebration balloon installation and a Via Tube toy.

The 8th anniversary capsule draw machine event runs right alongside until December 2. Players complete gameplay missions to secure Lucky Tokens, which feed the capsule machine for various rewards. Additional bonuses roll out depending on the total number of draws accumulated throughout the event period.

An 8th anniversary PC bang party time and a special attendance event are also on the cards. Until December 16, growth materials drop based on weekly PC bang connection times. Furthermore, cumulative playtime unlocks Ancient Gem Selection Chests, Relic Combat Engraving Selection Pouches, Core Essence Chests, and more. The attendance event runs from November 4 to December 2 and can be stacked alongside the existing attendance event running until November 11.

Smilegate is also handing out an 8th anniversary fan kit themed around the Lost Ark mascot 'Mokoko', alongside an Estate Guestbook background gifted to every adventurer logging into the game. Anyone can grab the 8th anniversary fan kit from the official website. It packs spooky Arkland-themed artwork tailored for PC and mobile devices, featuring folder icons, mouse cursors, tablet wallpapers, and watch faces.

Full details can be checked out over on the official Lost Ark website.
