"Ark: Survival Evolved Remaster Faces Delays, Launches with Discount"

Studio Wildcard has announced that the remaster of Ark: Survival Evolved, titled Ark: Survival Ascended, has been delayed to October due to complications in working with Unreal Engine 5.2. The original game's servers shutdown has also been postponed to September 30. The remaster will now be priced at $44.99, with a discounted price of $39.99 for day one buyers.

Ark Developer Reverses Course on Controversial Bundle Plan

Studio Wildcard has decided to make Ark: Survival Ascended a standalone game after receiving backlash from fans for bundling it with Ark 2 and requiring further DLC upgrades. The DLC content will be gradually built into the game instead of being sold on digital storefronts. The original Survival Evolved will still be available for unofficial/player-hosted sessions, but will be sunsetted on August 31 to prepare for the launch of Survival Ascended. The game will release in August 2023 on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.

Ark Survival Game Fans Forced to Upgrade to Next-Gen Version with Unreal Engine 5 Remaster and DLC Roadmap.

Developer Studio Wildcard announced that it will launch an upgraded version of Ark: Survival Evolved for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC called Ark: Survival Ascended, which will be ported to Unreal Engine 5 by the end of August. However, players will have to purchase the game again, and the old version's official servers will be shut down. The new version will cost $49.99 and include ownership of both Ark: Survival Ascended and Ark 2. The original version of the game will go into stasis at the end of August, and Ascended will continue to get new content and live alongside Ark 2 as separate ongoing live-service games.

Ark 2 Delay Causes Shutdown of Survival Evolved Servers and Remaster Release.

Studio Wildcard has delayed the release of Ark 2 until the end of 2024, citing the need for more time to work with Unreal Engine 5. In the meantime, a remaster of the first game, Ark: Survival Evolved, will be released by the end of August 2023. However, the game's official servers will be shut down later this year, with support only for critical bug fixes. The move has angered some players, who will have to re-host their own servers or play in singleplayer/non-dedi mode. Two paid expansion packs have also been announced.

ARK: Survival Evolved servers shutting down in August for new Ascended version release.

ARK: Survival Evolved will be replaced by a remastered version named ARK: Survival Ascended on PS5 in August, but there will be no upgrade path for existing owners. The new version will cost $39.99 and will include content like The Island and Survival of the Fittest. The pricing model is complicated, with expansion packs sold separately and no reduced rate for those who already bought them on PS4. The remaster promises improvements like dynamic weather, interactive foliage, and cross-platform multiplayer, but the decision to shut down the original version and ask fans to rebuy it for a new console is controversial.
