Lost Ark Mobile took center stage at Vision Preview PLAY, a hands-on showcase held in Seoul on June 19-20. Journalists, streamers and fans tested multiple game modes, chatted with the dev team and left with plenty of merch.
Smilegate RPG set up 190+ demo stations across three builds—mobile, PC and Steam Deck—letting visitors hop from touch controls to a gamepad or keyboard with zero hiccups.
UE5 visuals and AI mercenaries keep the party rolling
Korean media praised the move to Unreal Engine 5, which looks stellar even on small screens. They also highlighted the new AI-controlled mercenaries that fill empty party slots on the fly.
Optional auto-battle: convenience or liability?
The mobile version ships with an optional auto-battle system. Some reporters loved the grind-buster, while others insist manual control still rules against bosses. Community opinion is split—where do you stand?
