Survivors,

After much consideration, we’ve made a decision to postpone the launch of ARK: Survival Ascended to later on this year as well as deliver the title on Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, as well as computer in October 2023.

We’ve discovered it tough dealing with Unreal Engine 5.2, however at the very same time, it is extremely amazing. We’re uncovering brand-new methods every day to press the modern technology to the following degree; incorporated with the job required to sustain a completely cross-platform-moddable game ecological community on gaming consoles as well as computer, it’s clear that we’ll require a little bit even more time.

We’ve likewise made a decision to divide the launch day of The Island as well as Scorched Earth. With what we’ve found out about remastering The Island from the ground-up, it wouldn’t be viable to finish Scorched Earth to a requirement we’re happy with. So in the meantime, we’re mosting likely to prepare that Scorched Earth will certainly be concerning ASA in December this year, Ragnarok as well as Aberration will certainly comply with in Q1 2024, et cetera of the maps past after that.

Given the information:

ARK: Survival Ascended will certainly currently be going for an Early Access cost factor of $44.99 with a launch-discount bringing it to $39.99.

We had actually at first intended to deliver with even more web content on Day One, however that won’t be taking place, so we’re readjusting the launch cost appropriately.

We understand you truly wish to obtain your hands on ASA, as well as we value that assistance as well as excitement. We’re mosting likely to do our finest to strive to make certain that we can provide a significant next-gen ARK experience that satisfies both your assumptions as well as our very own.

That covers the large information; we understand there’s still a reasonable little time in between currently as well as the launch, so hang tough; it’ll deserve the delay! In the meanwhile, below are some solution to inquiries we’ve seen shown up over the last couple of weeks along with address some brand-new factors.

When will we see gameplay?

We understand you’re delighted, interested, as well as hesitant; we recognize. Our strategy is to reveal gameplay near the launch of ASA, as that’ll be when it’s entirely all set as well as best stand for the end product, so you’ll need to remain tuned up until after that.

Is there mosting likely to be a modification to the day when ARK:SE’s Official Network comes offline?

We’re currently intending on closing down the Official Network on September 30th, provided the mild hold-up in the launch of the game.

When will we have the ability to access our conserve data?

We’re presently dealing with Nitrado to make certain that the conserve data system functions, as well as we’ll be supplying directions on exactly how you can obtain them when they’re readily available.
Our objective is to take several conserves at various times, so you can select which is most pertinent to you.

With Scorched Earth being postponed, will there still be web server transfers?

We won’t be sustaining Server Transfers at the launch of ARK: Survival Ascended; this attribute will certainly end up being made it possible for when Scorched Earth launches in December.

How long should we anticipate the title to be in ‘Early Access’?

ARK: Survival Ascended will certainly leave Early Access in late 2024 as soon as all the web content has actually completed its next-generation remastering.

Are there mosting likely to be any kind of adjustments to the launch order of particular web content?

Generally, we will certainly maintain the approved maps launched in the very same order.
We might make some modifications with a few of the non-cannon maps as well as launch them quicker, however that truthfully depends extra on our pipe, so we’ll reveal them appropriately.

Will we be seeing even more ASA ideas?

Yep! We mean to maintain revealing you men proceed on the aesthetic adjustments in between ARK:SE as well as ASA in the lead-up to the game’s launch.

What regarding animal ballots?

They’ll be remaining to run! In reality, the group has actually been dealing with the layout for the Gigantoraptor from a theoretical viewpoint, along with the real gameplay auto mechanics, as well as we can’t wait to reveal that to you in the weeks in advance!
