Due to the scope of all the technical and QOL changes required for such a next-gen experience, it is not feasible to make this new version of ARK backward compatible, which led us to conclude that this would need to be a separate product. We will deliver cross-platform modding, cross-platform multiplayer & a new account system, informing us about other changes we should consider for ARK 2. We’ll gain a deep understanding of how well the rendering and lighting techniques work on console, what performance will be like, whether we can optimize and deliver interactive water and foliage on a widescale basis, and much more. With that in mind, we do not plan to showcase any gameplay/screenshots/videos of ARK 2 this year however, we intend to keep you informed and engaged in the development process by regularly showcasing more ARK 2 assets in the months ahead, leading to our gameplay reveal next year.īut! Our desire to push the boundaries of what ARK 2 is on a next-generation platform has led us to the decision to create an intermediary Unreal Engine 5 ARK product utilizing some of the new technology we are building, allowing us to further our mastery of the new engine and ultimately battle-test some of our riskier technical advancements. Your support and passion are vital to us, and we will continue to work intensively to deliver the ultimate next-gen dinosaur survival experience. We sincerely apologize for this delay and genuinely appreciate your understanding. As we learn more about the engine and develop the sequel, we have adapted our workflows and adjusted our pipelines to accommodate this new next-generation paradigm, and because of everything that involves, we need more time for development. Unreal Engine 5 is incredibly new technology to us (and all developers), and we aim to use this cutting-edge tech to its fullest potential while creating a game with never-before-achieved scope at Studio Wildcard. So why the delay? Our goal is to make ARK 2 the best game it can be and provide a truly exceptional and rewarding experience for players. This news will be disappointing to many - we feel it too - but we’re confident this heavy decision is the right one. We’ve put much thought into delaying ARK 2 for the betterment of the final product and the team's well-being.

Starting fresh on a new game, with newer technology, should also do wonders, as the original has started to suffer technically from all the updates and additions over the years.After careful consideration, we have decided to delay the sequel's launch to the end of 2024, when it will still launch exclusively on Xbox, Game Pass, and Windows distribution platforms (Steam/PC). The game can also be played in single-player or multiplayer, so players can experience the title in their preferred way. There's no word on whether or not the next game will take the same approach, but the addition of Vin Diesel to the experience makes us think that it will be more story-focused than the original. The game also featured a story in the background that could be discovered through lore. These primarily were crafting, gathering, taming, fighting, and exploration. If the idea of Ark 2 is bigger and better, then Wildcard could be looking to expand on many of the systems from the original. Ark doesn't just feature dinosaurs either, as the past entry did begin to add original dinos, and even mythical creatures and robots with subsequent updates.

Studio Wildcard has confirmed that Ark 2 won't differ much from the previous entry, still very much giving players an island sandbox to explore and survive in, full of ancient fauna to both fight and tame along the way. ARK: Survival Evolved December 11, 2020
