TL;DR

Studio Wildcard has decided to make Ark: Survival Ascended a standalone game after receiving backlash from fans for bundling it with Ark 2 and requiring further DLC upgrades. The DLC content will be gradually built into the game instead of being sold on digital storefronts. The original Survival Evolved will still be available for unofficial/player-hosted sessions, but will be sunsetted on August 31 to prepare for the launch of Survival Ascended. The game will release in August 2023 on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
