Smilegate, the developer of South Korean MMO Lost Ark will be taking control of the Western servers that were previously run by Amazon Game Studios. In a blog post on Lost Ark's site, Amazon write that "Starting in early 2027 Amazon Game Studios will end its live service operations of Lost Ark, with Smilegate taking over going forward." However, characters, progression, inventory, game data and entitlements, and your wallet balance will all come across.

Lost Ark and Throne and Liberty mark two of the few successes Amazon has had in gaming.
