Es gibt eine neue News zu dem Steam Game ARK: Survival Evolved vom 01.04.2023. Folgendes hat dabei der Entwickler von ARK: Survival Evolved veröffentlicht:

ARK: Survival Evolved fans, get ready for some exciting news! Studio Wildcard has released their roadmap for the next year, which includes various game-related initiatives, new platforms, and media. The team is grateful for the community's support and enthusiasm, which has inspired them to create the ultimate survival franchise.

One of the biggest announcements is the delay of ARK 2's launch until the end of 2024. The game will still be exclusive to Xbox, Game Pass, and Windows distribution platforms. The delay is due to the team's desire to make ARK 2 the best game it can be and provide players with a truly exceptional and rewarding experience. Unreal Engine 5 is new technology, and the team wants to use it to its fullest potential while creating a game with never-before-achieved scope. The team will not showcase any gameplay/screenshots/videos of ARK 2 this year, but they plan to keep players informed and engaged in the development process by regularly showcasing more ARK 2 assets in the months ahead.

To further their mastery of the new engine, the team has decided to create an intermediary Unreal Engine 5 ARK product called ARK: Survival Ascended. This game will be released on Xbox Series S/X, PC (Windows/Steam), and PlayStation 5 by the end of August 2023. The base game will include The Island, SOTF, and all the "Non-Canon" DLC maps. PlayStation 5 users can purchase ARK: Survival Ascended as a standalone next-gen game at launch in August 2023 for $39.99. Xbox Series S/X and PC players can only get it via the ARK Respawned Bundle, which includes ownership of both ARK: Survival Ascended and ARK 2 for $49.99. The bundle will also provide players access to an exclusive 1-month closed-beta to ARK 2 in 2024 before the rest of the general public can play ARK 2.

ARK: Survival Ascended will feature many improvements and enhancements, including Unreal Engine 5 Overhaul with Nanite, Lumen and RTXDI, dynamic water, interactive foliage, cross-platform multiplayer, cross-platform anti-cheat, and cross-platform modding. The team recognizes the power of giving players the tools and capability to define their survival experience, so they want to take cross-platform one step further by working with Overwolf to introduce an industry-first cross-platform modding experience. The modding capability will include FULL blueprinting support, stacked mods, and maps. Premium mods will also be available, with 50% of the price point going to the mod author.

Survival of the Fittest will be integrated into the main product as a new fully-supported game mode, with a dedicated team that will continue to work on more gameplay changes, mechanical improvements, quality of life, maps, and balance adjustments. The initial mode will be revamped with an exclusive ARK: Survival Ascended update, including an upgraded Unreal Engine 5 with complete cross-platform and cross-modding support, a Scorched Earth SOTF map, matchmaking queue, character and creature customization with cosmetics, and a local lobby where players can group up with friends, configure the look of their survivor and dinos, and queue up for lobbies together.

ARK: Survival Ascended will also feature new content, QOL improvements, balance, and gameplay changes, including an updated mini-map, new structures, building QOL improvements, a queueing system, a new third-person camera, directional sprinting and walking, a ping system, a gamepad cursor, a chibi slot and skins tab, and balance passes.

Overall, Studio Wildcard has big plans for the future of ARK, and they're excited to share this new journey with players. Get ready for a next-generation version of the game you love, topped off with revolutionary cross-platform modding.
