Once again, developer Studio Wildcard is about to have almost no content for dinosaur survival Ark: Survival Ascended canceled. A big update with a new map was actually supposed to appear on February 28th and has now been postponed indefinitely.
The only reason given is that the “The Center” update was not yet at the level of quality that Studio Wildcard wanted. It is not the first approach of this kind from the developer – even when the game was released there were still problems a few days before.
Ark: Survival Ascended – Release plans are repeatedly not met
The official statement says that the studio itself is blamed for nothing Homepage of the game: “Our partners working on Center while we focus on the Scorched Earth expansion need more time to do so the content meets our and your requirementsThe fact that such a development only seems to be foreseeable a day before the planned release is annoying enough – but more so because this is not the first time that something like this has happened as part of the release of Ark: Survival Ascended.
Already that one Released on Xbox Series X|S was a day before the scheduled date postponed due to an ongoing approval process. The expansion card Scorched Earth was actually supposed to be released with the main game last November; April is currently expected.
“We apologize for this change of plans, but we know that when The Center launches, it will be worth the wait,” Wildcards continued. After all: The one newly introduced for the expansion Gigantoraptor will be available as planned from February 28th integrated into the game. But that shouldn’t make the fans mild, as there were cynical posts in the comment column.
Community reacts mockingly
“If you didn’t focus so much on distributing content that no one asked for, but on content that we paid for, you could maybe also meet your deadlines“, it says, for example. The Unreal 5 remake of Ark: Survival Evolved has struggled with bugs and server problems since its release. Negative reviews Steam describe the game in a desolate state.
That Studio Wildcard constant running after the time goals you have set yourself, suggests that the effort involved in Ark: Survival Ascended may have been misjudged. A survival game that has made a better impression on us recently is Enshrouded, whose review you can read here.
