The Ark: Survival Evolved promised a free upgrade to Ark: Survival Ascended will not be happening after all. According to Studio Wildcard, the upgraded version of Ark known as "Ark: Survival Ascended" which is rebuilt in Unreal Engine 5 will cost players at least $39.99 (~RM176).
The announcement last week left fans unhappy, of course. Some players are irritated by having to re-purchase the game again at full price to enjoy the UE5 upgrade that features crossplay features, cross-modding, and QOL upgrades.
The worse is that Studio Wildcard will be taking down all official servers on Ark: Survival Evolved on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC while Ark: Survival Ascended arrives in August. Moreover, the planned final content update will be released in June which includes a new creature, Rhyniognatha.
Anyhow, it's clear that most of the Ark fans will not be purchasing the remastered version of the game according to the reddit poll. And for now, Studio Wildcard has not made another announcement to address this current backlash. Will you buy the Ark: Survival Ascended when it releases?
