  • ARK: Survival Evolved coming to the Nintendo Switch™!

    Switch_Thumb.jpg

    We're excited to announce today that ARK: Survival Evolved will be stomping its way onto the Nintendo Switch in the Fall of 2018!

    ARK: Survival Evolved on Switch includes the complete contents and features of the original game; from the massive and mysterious ARK island to the more than 100 prehistoric- and fantasy-inspired creatures such as the T-Rex, Giganotosaurus, Rock Drake and Reaper. Hundreds of hours of exploring, crafting, survival and combat await players as they go it alone, or group up with thousands of other Survivors to explore the island and solve the mysteries of the ARK.

    The Nintendo Switch version of ARK will be developed by our partner studio Abstraction Games (handlers of the PS4 port), and we can't wait for it! The handheld mode provides a fantastic new capability for survivors who want to immerse themselves in the vast worlds of ARK fully! With this new version, Switch players can go directly from hunting and tame while sitting on the couch, to forming online tribes and searching out new conquests when on the bus, waiting in line, or wherever they happen to be.

    During the Epic Games’ “State of Unreal” keynote at GDC 2018, we were able to show off an early demo of the game on Switch. You can check out the full reveal here:

    That's it for this announcement guys! We can't wait to welcome you to the family, Nintendo Fans! As always if you’ve got anything to share please get in touch and be sure to follow us on:

    Exactly thousand of PCs does not run very well Ark because they are old PCs. Hundreds of people left because their PC just get stuck. Now we will play on NS smoothly. That is great.

    Will it have everything from the pc version including all DLC like SE/Aberration/Ragnarok/etc, and the future extinction ? How about mod ?

     

    I just asked the same question for the android version but seems like it's only The Island for the android version.

     

    (I almost bought a gaming laptop about 5-6 times the price of a Switch last year when I went to a remote area for a few months, just so I can kill time by playing Ark, but I hesitated. This would be a great solution if the same situation arise.)

     

    -edit- 

    Nevermind, I just read the news above and yes it will. No mention about mods though.

    I've been waiting for this  since  the switch came out. I'm very happy about this news; I've bought this game for: pc, xbox one and PS4, and it seems I'll buy it once more. I am extremely grateful, I'm going to go broke.

    Also, please bring co-op to the switch, it would be great to play it multiplayer "on the go", it doesn't matter if it takes a while after you release the port.

    Thank!, Really!

    I have the same question as an earlier comment. Can we connect to the PC servers? If so, ye I'll get it. If not, then I won't even spend money to get it. o.0

    Im pretty sure that the port is finished as planned and they‘re waiting for nintendo to announce further information (release date, gameplay video maybe, an official trailer, ...) in a direct / nindies video. 

     

    Although it makes sense to use that kind of marketing to reach a bigger audience, it‘s a shame that there‘s not even one single dude from studio wildcard / abstraction games that gives a comment like „patience, it‘s coming“
