Ark 2 has been delayed to 2024 and the first part is getting Unreal Engine 5 remaster – Gaming – News

Within the rationalization:
ASE: Ark Advanced is huidige recreation
ASA: Ark Ascended is new UE5 model

Final 12 months, a fan put varied maps and dinosaurs within the UE5 as a showcase of what UE5 can do.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCrp61PMkSc

To which Ark indicated, they’ll do an improve. It was introduced in December as “free and improve from present recreation.” Confirmed once more in January that it will likely be free and there can be a migration from ASE to ASA.

The information now could be easy:
-UE5 improve they need to make crossplatform/next-gen, not suitable with present ASE.
-UE5 model is just for sale individually for PS5 (as a result of you aren’t getting ark2), you MUST purchase the bundle ASA/Ark2.
-There are NO working variations of ASA or Ark2, you actually have to purchase the sport ‘blind’, worse than a pre-order.

ASE will merely be ‘discontinued’ in August. In recent times, the group (partly attributable to discord/covid/and so on) has grown enormously with 10,000+ individuals within the recreation, accumulating and breeding dinosaurs for years. The servers can be closed in August, anybody who nonetheless needs to play can obtain or obtain an SP model of your present ‘official’ (which is the MMO, so to talk). If you wish to proceed (or really begin over), it’s a must to purchase the ASA / Ark2 pack AND all DLC once more.

It is enjoyable for the individuals who play solo or customized hosted, however the ‘MMO’ persons are merely shot down ‘their’ recreation. The sport has been affected by sure bugs, points and options for years, which aren’t magically mounted with a UE5 improve, not to mention they’re now going to do a whole rebuild in just below 4 months.
