"Ark Remaster: Delayed Release with Early Access and Discount"

Studio Wildcard announces that the Ark Survival Ascended remaster will be delayed until October and will launch in early access. The remaster will be released in parts, with The Island coming first, followed by Scorched Earth in December and the other maps in 2024. The game's launch price will be lowered to $45, with a discount for early access buyers. The decision to make the remaster a paid product has disappointed some fans, leading to memes and jokes on the Ark subreddit. The official network for Ark Survival Evolved will be shut down on September 30, 2023. The game is planned to stay in early access until late 2024.
