Ark Developer Backpedals on Survival Ascended Bundle After Community Outcry
Ark: Survival Ascended will be sold without Ark 2 after backlash, but will still cost $60
The developers of Ark have revised their plans for the release of Ark: Survival Ascended, an Unreal Engine 5 enhanced edition of their dinosaur survival sim. It will now cost $60 rather than the previously planned $50, is no longer bundled together with ARK 2, and will instead include the remasters of Ark: Survival Evolved’s several expansions – although most won’t be available at launch.
Studio Wildcard also went into more detail as to why this upgraded version is no longer a free update, and why they feel it’s necessary to shut down Ark: Survival Evolved’s official servers.
Ark: Survival Evolved servers going offline in August to make way for Ark: Survival Ascended
Studio Wildcard has announced it will shut the servers down for Ark: Survival Evolved in August, and the game will be replaced with Ark: Survival Ascended.
Ark: Survival Ascended is a next-generation remaster of Survival Evolved and comes with new features, and plenty of improvements and enhancements.
Some enhancements include an Unreal Engine 5 overhaul with Nanite, Lumen and RTXDI, Dynamic Water, Interactive Foliage, and performance gains such as instanced rendering, threaded server networking, and native physics engine.
