Ark 2 Delayed to 2024, First Game Remastered for Next-Gen

Studio WildCard has announced that the release of Ark 2, the sequel to Ark: Survival Evolved, has been delayed to 2024 due to challenges working with Unreal Engine 5. However, a next-gen version of the original game called Ark: Survival Ascended will be released in August for Xbox Series, PC, and PS5. The new version includes graphical and performance upgrades, cross-platform multiplayer and cross-progression, and cross-platform modding supported by Overwolf. Xbox Series X, S, and PC players can only get it by purchasing the Ark Respawned Bundle for $49.99, which includes both Ark: Survival Ascended and Ark 2.
