ARK: Survival Ascended coming to next-gen consoles and PC in August, while Ark 2 faces major delay.

ARK: Survival Evolved will be replaced by a remastered version named ARK: Survival Ascended on PS5 in August, which will run on Unreal Engine 5 and include content like The Island and Survival of the Fittest. However, there won't be an upgrade path for existing owners, and the new version will cost $39.99. Expansion packs will be sold separately, and cross-platform multiplayer will be available. The pricing model is confusing, and the developer is shutting down the original version of the game, which doesn't sit well with fans.
