ARK: Survival Ascended Delayed to October 2023

Game development studio Wildcard has announced that the release of ARK: Survival Ascended will be delayed until October 2023.

Game development Studio Wildcard has announced that the release of ARK: Survival Ascended will be delayed until October 2023. This announcement came as a surprise to fans who have been looking forward to the game for a long time.

ARK: Survival Ascended is the sequel to the successful game ARK: Survival Evolved that was released a few years ago. It combines elements of survival, adventure, and base building in a world filled with dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures.

Players must survive on a deserted island, hunt for food, build shelters, and fight off menacing dinosaurs.

Reason for Delay

The Studio Wildcard development team announced the news via the ARK Game Community Forum, saying that the decision was made “after much deliberation” and because the team felt “challenged” to work with Unreal Engine 5.2.

It explained that it does not regret developing the remake on UE5. They still call the process “exciting” despite the challenges. The most interesting thing about this announcement is that ARK: Survival Ascended will be less expensive upon release than previously believed.

The main reason for this is that the game will come with separate content so there will be less content on its initial release. This decision was made after Studio Wildcard realized that they would have to release Scorched Earth separately from The Island, with Ragnarok and Aberration and other maps following in Q1 2024.

Although this delay disappointed fans, many of them appreciated Wildcard’s decision to provide a better and more stable experience. They understand that game development takes a lot of time and effort.

Some fans even hoped that this delay would allow Wildcard to add more exciting features and content to the game.

Postponed to October 2023

Wildcard has ensured that they will continue to provide updates and information on the game’s development to the fans. They promise to utilize this additional time to fix bugs, optimize performance, and improve graphical quality.

They also promise to keep listening to feedback from the community and involve them in the development process. The release of ARK: Survival Ascended being delayed until October 2023 gives the developers a chance to create a better experience.

Despite the disappointment, fans are still excited and ready to explore the amazing prehistoric world that the developers have to offer in this game.

Ark: Survival Ascended is getting a price reduction to 44.99 USD from the previous 49.99 USD. But those who purchase the remastered version on the first day will pay 39.99 USD.
