Summary

The "Dear. Friends FESTA" was Lost Ark's largest offline event, held at KINTEX, attracting 12,900 spectators over four days. The event featured two interactive mini-games from the game, redesigned with touch controls to allow dynamic participation. The first mini-game, "Clash with Kamen," transformed a challenging in-game clash scene into a rhythm-based cooperative experience, where players needed to touch specific points in sync with the game's timeline. The second, "Charming Biakiss," involved memorizing and touching a sequence of keys in the correct order under time pressure, with increasing difficulty in subsequent stages. Both games utilized a 2-meter LED screen and a custom tracking application, ensuring responsive gameplay despite the fast pace. The event's innovative approach allowed attendees to experience Lost Ark in a new and engaging way. The festival atmosphere was vibrant, with various activities available for gamers, leading to long lines for the mini-games and an overall enthusiastic response from participants.
