Studio Wildcard needs more time to develop ARK 2, but as you can see, Microsoft has decided to promote Ark: Survival Ascended. At the event of the American corporation, we can check out the first gameplay from the improved version of the game.
Ark: Survival Ascended is basically a refreshed version of Ark: Survival Evolved from 2017. However, the creators did not decide to simply improve the game, but rebuilt the production, which was met with a series of unfavorable opinions from players.
All because of the high price that the developers initially asked for Ark: Survival Ascended… in addition, the developers announced that players will have to re-purchase previously owned expansions. However, ARK is very popular, so Microsoft is promoting further projects from this universe.
