Ark: Survival Ascended is an action-adventure survival video game developed and published by Studio Wildcard. The game was supposed to be released across all next generation platforms but instead was released in early access for Windows on October 25, 2023,[1] Xbox Series S/X on November 21, 2023,[2] and PlayStation 5 on November 30, 2023.[3]

It is a remake of the 2015 game Ark: Survival Evolved.[1]

Development

Ark: Survival Ascended was announced in March 2023.[4] The first gameplay reveal trailer was shown during the Xbox Partner Preview showcase on October 25, 2023, and it was announced that the game would be released on the same day. The remake includes a graphical overhaul, providing improved visuals, character models, and environments by using Unreal Engine 5.[5]

Ark: Survival Ascended is available in early access, featuring the base game, a remastered version of the Scorched Earth DLC, and the ability to play the battle royale mode. In 2024, Survival Ascended is planned to receive the expansions Aberration, Extinction, Genesis Part 1 and Genesis Part 2 in preparation for the release of Ark 2.[6]

Reception

Despite the game being in an early access stage, '"ARK: Survival Ascended" has received an influx of negative reviews on Steam due to problems like crashes, game instability, server issues, and relatively low performance, which include occasional lags, visual glitches or low frame rates.[7]
