Lost Ark is perhaps one of the most eagerly anticipated MMO's of 2022. With the title initially launching in South Korea in 2019, fans have been waiting for almost three years for the game to be released in other regions. Fortunately, Lost Ark's global release is creeping closer, and players will not have to wait much longer.

For anyone with plans of pre-ordering Lost Ark, there's even more good news. When it comes to making your purchase, there are Founder's Packs available to buy too. There are four different packs, all at a different price, containing different exclusive items to use as you jump into choosing a class and playing the game.

As you can probably imagine, each Founder's Pack progressively becomes more expensive, but contains even more rewards that you can use while playing Lost Ark. When it comes to your gameplay experience, which Founder's Pack should you buy, if any? In this guide, we explain every Founder's Pack available for Lost Ark, and where to buy them.
