The latest MMORPG Lost Ark from Amazon and developer Smilegate features a varied collection of five different Main Classes and 15 Advanced Classes in the vanilla version of the game. Even so, like most Asian-made MMO titles, Lost Ark Classes are also locked depending on what gender you’re playing for your character; male or female.

It’s a bit frustrating for players who were aiming for specific classes but playing the opposite gendered character. Nevertheless, developer Smilegate has announced in the December 2021 update that it is working to create more Classes counterparts in the future.
“From the earliest days of Lost Ark’s announcement in the West, we heard players’ feedback about gender locked classes loud and clear. While not every class in the game currently has a male and female counterpart available, we wanted to be sure to include those that do early on. In the future, Smilegate RPG will be creating more counterparts for classes that are still gender locked, and we will bring these to Arkesia in time.”
