Popular Twitch streamer Asmongold returned to his main channel on Twitch to play Lost Ark. Thanks to the popularity of the newly released game, the streamer has continued to break his own viewer count records.
Following various issues in his life and the unfortunate death of his mother, Asmongold took a break from streaming on his main Twitch channel. Instead, he spent several months broadcasting on his second channel: Zackrawrr.
He returned on February 8, 2022, with the release of Lost Ark, quickly breaking his own viewer record with an insane 285k viewers ready to watch the streamer play the new game.
Now, Asmongold has broken his viewer record again by over 100k viewers — and it doesn’t look like it’s stopping anytime soon.
