HEROES OF ARKESIA,

The summer heat brings new challenges. The Kazeros Raid Act 1 Extreme will push your raid party to the limit across three escalating difficulty tiers. Solo Mode expands to Kazeros Raid Act 4 and the Denouement, and a new Matchmaking Mode lets you tackle Serca at a reduced difficulty with dynamic party scaling. Paradise Season 4 begins, the Summer Night Festival kicks off on Arkesia's shores, and a collection of summer cosmetics arrives in the store.

Downtime will begin on July 15 at 12 AM PT (7 AM UTC) and is expected to last 6 hours. Read on for the full list of new content, events, store offerings, and other changes (https://www.playlostark.com/en-us/game/releases/summer-of-extremes).
