When asked by the Epic Games Store if this timeline essentially confirms a 2028 launch window for the sequel, Stieglitz affirmed that this is indeed the studio’s goal. He noted that the phased approach is a strategic move to master new technologies and gameplay loops within the existing Ascended framework, rather than risking a premature standalone release for such a massive project.
Since its cinematic reveal at the 2020 Game Awards, Ark 2 has been synonymous with the involvement of Hollywood star Vin Diesel. However, the exact depth of his role remains a work in progress. Stieglitz revealed that the game’s narrative will be dynamic, adjusting based on Diesel’s availability for performance capture.
“The scale of the story essentially hinges on his performance schedule,” Stieglitz said. “We have developed parallel narrative paths: one that features him heavily if we secure extensive studio time, and an alternative version should his window be more limited.”
