Everything about Studio Wildcard and the various versions of Ark has become a true reflection of the complexity of game development in the current generation. As we reported months ago, Ark: Survival Ascended is an Unreal Engine 5 version with improved graphics of Ark: Survival Evolved, a game that will shut down its servers very soon to make way for the new and improved version. This new version, according to the study, is postponed to the end of 2023.

According to Studio Wildcard official blogmigration and game update issues have delayed the release of Ark: Survival Ascended until October 2023. This will go hand in hand with the fact that it will not be a definitive version, but a preliminary version in “early access”. style that it will be completed, presumably, in early 2024.

More delays and no news on Ark 2

Part of the reason the game is delayed is that some maps haven’t been successfully migrated to the new graphics engine, so the game will release without that content which will arrive in December and finish polishing in 2024. Burnt earth (December 2023), Aberration and Ragnarok (Q1 2024) will be the maps of a new roadmap for the release of the game.

On the other hand, they confirm that the Ark: Survival Evolved servers will close at the end of September, and that it will be necessary to wait a long time before being able to return to our games after paying for the new game. Remember that Ark: Survival Ascended will only be free for nobody, even if you bought the previous version you will not be able to continue playing if you have not paid for the new game on Unreal Engine 5.

ARK: Survival Ascended will now launch at an early access price of $44.99 with a launch discount bringing it to $39.99.

So, and to recap, Ark: Survival Ascended will be coming to Xbox Series and PC in October 2023 in Early Access; For its part, the Ark: Survival Evolved servers will close in September. And on the other hand, Ark 2 will be released at the end of 2024 and will arrive on Xbox Game Pass.
