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 Reviews Trending Negative On Steam After Paid Upgrade Announcement
Ark: Survival Evolved has been receiving negative reviews on Steam since developer Studio Wildcard announced that it will be releasing a paid upgraded version of the game called Ark: Survival Ascended. Studio Wildcard also announced that all official servers for the original version of Ark: Survival Evolved will shut down in August, with the option to migrate saves to the new upgraded version.
Players on Steam have taken issue with the Unreal Engine 5 version of the game, because Studio Wildcard is charging for the upgrade and closing the official servers for the original version. It’s important to note that players can still operate their own servers in Ark: Survival Evolved, but all of the official servers are being migrated to Ark: Survival Ascended. This also includes the servers for the Xbox One and PS4 versions of the game, despite Ark: Survival Ascended only releasing on current-gen consoles and PC.
One player with nearly 10,000 hours in Ark: Survival Evolved left a negative review, citing the server wipes and paid upgrade path. Another player left a negative review, simply stating that the game closing in August and the developer selling the game with all of the DLC again was unacceptable.

Ark 2 is delayed, so they’re turning off Survival Evolved’s official servers and charging $50 for a remaster
ARK 2 has been delayed until the end of 2024. The dinosaur survival sequel currently best known for having Vin Diesel in it, for some reason, was originally aiming for a 2023 release, but developers Studio Wildcard say they need more time.
To compensate, they’re going to instead release Ark: Survival Ascended in August, a remaster of the original Ark: Survival Evolved that moves it over to Unreal Engine 5. That’s the good news. The bad news is you can only buy it in a $50 bundle with the sequel (which won’t be finished for at least a year), and that the original Survival Evolved servers will be switched off when Ascended launches.
