More details have been revealed about Ark: Survival Ascended, a remake of the much-loved 2015 action-adventure survival game Ark: Survival Evolved.
Stranded on the shores of a mysterious island, Ark: Survival Ascended pits you against dinosaurs and other primaeval creatures in an effort to survive, kill or even tame the various wildlife.
Now with new graphics, audio revamping and a multitude of «quality of life» improvements, this is set to be the definitive way to play the original Ark release.
One thing that has become apparent is the confusion over what Ark: Survival Ascended entails, and how it all fits into the previously announced Ark 2.
To help clarify things, head below for all the latest details surrounding, gameplay, release date, price and what to expect in the Ark: Survival Ascended package.
Described as a «next-generation remaster», Ark: Survival Ascended is essentially a remake of 2015's Ark: Survival Evolved.
It arrives with everything from the original game, including The Island base map and all of the DLC, as well as the battle royale spin-off Survival of the Fittest.
Developed by Grove Street Games and published by original developer Studio Wildcard, the remake will feature new split-screen multiplayer, cross-progression and cross-platform support from launch.
Numerous quality of life improvements have also been promised by the team, such as redesigned user interfaces, dynamic navigation for intelligent creature pathfinding, photo mode, new camera systems, a new map system and tracking system, along with new gameplay items, structures and changes to existing items and creatures.

Modding will also play a big part. «The most game-changing new feature coming to Ark: Survival Ascended is cross-platform modding,» said Studio Wildcard executive producer Jatheish Karunakaran (via Xbox Wire).
«PC players of the original game have had the luxury of playing with mods for the last eight years, and soon that benefit will be available on every platform.
Karunakaran added: „The new in-game CurseForge mod browser, which will be directly accessible from the main menu of the game, will soon be filled with new structures, dinos, maps, decorative pieces and game modes.
“We’re also working closely with professional game studios and developers to bring their original content and IP to Ark: Survival Ascended, to make it the ultimate gaming modding ecosystem.»
This is not to be confused with Ark 2, which was announced at the 2020 Game Awards and will arrive in late 2024 for Xbox
