ARK: Survival Ascended to replace ARK: Survival Evolved, as ARK 2 faces further delays.

Studio Wildcard has announced ARK: Survival Ascended, an Unreal Engine 5-based remaster of ARK: Survival Evolved, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC, which will launch in August. The ARK: Survival Ascended base game will include “The Island,” “Survival of the Fittest,” and all the “Non-Canon” downloadable content maps. Xbox Series X|S and PC players will only be able to get it via an ultimate-value bundle known as the “ARK Respawned Bundle.” PlayStation 5 users will be able to get their hands on ARK: Survival Ascended as a standalone next-gen game at launch in August 2023.
