Ark: Survival Ascended release date
The release date for Ark: Survival Ascended, the remastered version of Ark: Survival Evolved, has been delayed. Studio Wildcard has decided to launch the game later than originally planned, but with a new launch discount. The delay is due to the challenges of working with Unreal Engine 5.2, which the studio describes as 'a beast to tame'. However, Studio Wildcard has made significant progress with the engine and is now ready to take the game to the next level.
The new release date for Ark: Survival Ascended is set for October. During the early access period, the game will be available at a discounted price of $40, bringing the cost down to $30. After this period, the price will be $45.
Ark: Survival Evolved remaster map delay
Studio Wildcard has announced that one of the maps included in the remastered edition of Ark: Survival Evolved, called The Lost Cove, will be delayed and released in December 2021. This map is a tribute to The Lost Cave from the original PC version of the game. The studio has made this decision in order to ensure a higher quality experience for players.
Additionally, Studio Wildcard has made changes to the release of the remaining DLC maps. Instead of being included in the initial release of Ark: Survival Ascended as free updates, all maps will now be released as paid DLC. The Island map will remain unchanged, while Scorched Earth will be added in December 2021.
Studio Wildcard acknowledges that this is a departure from their previous plans, but they have learned a great deal since the initial announcement and want to provide a similar experience to the original game. All maps will be included with the initial purchase of Ark: Survival Ascended and will be available for free within the game client after its release.
Ark: Survival Ascended price
The price for Ark: Survival Ascended is $45, but there will be a launch discount of $40. Players can look forward to the game's release in October.
