#Ark 2 gameplay upgrade#
Studio Wildcard also addressed why the remastered version of the game isn't a free upgrade for players of ARK: Survival Evolved. Cross-platform Multiplayer & Full Blueprint Modding (I know we mentioned this before, but we’re serious, it’s happening on PC and Consoles at launch, and we’ve got it working internally with Overwolf technology – this dramatically changes the nature of the console experience).Character creation & customization improvements.Snap point improvements (new snaps, logic improvements).Dynamic navigation mesh and creature pathfinding overhaul (AI pathfinding).The remastered game will also include the following features, with more promised in the future: All the community-created maps are also to be released over time in 2024 (Fjordur, Ragnarok, The Center, Lost Island, Valguero, Crystal Isles).Survival of the Fittest: The Island & Scorched Earth map variants (Released at Launch).That price will include remastered versions of the game's expansion packs, including future DLC content: The new plan is to offer Ark: Survival Ascended on its own for $59.99. Our bad we recognize how combining ARK Survival Ascended with ARK 2 and requiring further DLC upgrades wasn’t optimal, especially since you wouldn’t be able to judge ARK 2 as no gameplay or content would be available yet. Late on Friday, Studio Wildcard made another post scrapping the Ark: Survival Ascended-ARK II bundle. However, ARK players made complaints in the last week that getting a remastered version of a game they already own as a bundle with an unreleased game was not the best idea. It would also cost more if you want to get the Survival Evolved expansions. Originally, the plan was to offer the remaster of the game and ARK II in a bundle for PC and Xbox players for $49.99, with PlayStation 5 players getting the remaster for $39.99 as a standalone purchase. However, it also announced a new Unreal Engine 5 remaster of the original game, ARK: Survival Ascended.

In late March, Studio Wildcard announced that ARK II, the sequel to its popular survival game ARK: Survival Evolved, would be delayed from a 2023 release date to late 2024.
