"Ark: Survival Ascended Remaster Faces Delay, Offers Early Access Discount"

The release of Ark: Survival Ascended, a remaster of Ark: Survival Evolved, has been delayed to October 2023 due to difficulties with Unreal Engine 5. The original game will go offline, angering fans who will have to restart. The remaster was initially bundled with the pre-order for Ark 2 but has since been de-bundled and made more expensive, now priced at $60. However, it will be discounted to $40 at launch. The shutdown of Ark: Survival Evolved has been delayed to September. Studio Wildcard plans to separate expansions and add more maps in 2024.
