It is a remake of the 2015 game Ark: Survival Evolved. [1]
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]
The Early Access release on Steam has received an influx of negative reviews due to numerous problems like game crashes, instability, server issues, and low performance, which include frametime spikes, visual glitches, and low frame rates. [7]
