  • Introducing: ARK: Ultimate Survivor Edition on Nintendo Switch!

    ARK_Ultimate_Bundle_1920x1080.jpg

    We’re thrilled to share something special with our ARK Switch community! We’ve partnered up with a talented third-party developer to completely rewrite the ARK Switch code from the ground up with the latest version of Unreal Engine 4, to be released  in September 2022!  This new Switch experience will include enhancements and upgrades to bring it into line, visually and functionally, with the experience on Xbox One and PS4. We love how it’s shaping up, and feel confident you all will too! 

    Prepare yourselves for a completely overhauled and updated ARK experience for Switch, with all of the features, visuals, and functionality of the other platforms! And, don’t worry, you will retain your progress and save data, it’s a win-win!

    And that’s not all! The epic adventure continues with the upcoming launch of ARK: Ultimate Survivor Edition on Switch in September 2022! It will be priced at $49.99 and packed with hundreds of hours of content, including the relaunch of ARK: Survival Evolved and Scorched Earth with the additional massive expansion packs to follow in the months ahead!

    ARK: Ultimate Survivor Edition will include:

    • ARK: Survival Evolved - revamped and updated to the latest version of Unreal Engine 4 with the features, visuals, and functionality of the other platforms, while maintaining existing save data and progression.
    • Scorched Earth Expansion Pack (launching September 2022) 
    • Additional Expansion Packs added at 2-month intervals: Aberration, Extinction, and Genesis Parts 1 & 2
    • New cinematic story content to further expand the narrative of ARK: Survival Evolved.
    • Young Explorers Mode: Take a journey through the epochs in this new educational game mode that invites families and kids to learn about the fascinating prehistoric creatures that inspired the game. Young Explorers Mode is appropriate for even the smallest of survivors!
    • Custom server support powered by Nitrado server networks.

    All the improvements coming to the base ARK: Survival Evolved game will, of course, be FREE for everyone who already owns ARK: Survival Evolved on Nintendo Switch.  Players who own the base game can also opt to purchase the Expansion Packs if they wish.

    Join us on this journey as we expand the story content and ARK universe in September 2022  and finally deliver the definitive ARK experience on Nintendo Switch!

    This is exciting! I’ll definitely purchase the new edition when it comes out, and it’s just in time for my 23rd wedding anniversary lol. I know what I’m asking for this year.

    Thank you!  I eagerly await the release.  I have only ever owned the game on the switch, and I love it.  I will be buying everything available for this game.

    Пожалуйста, переработайте или переделайте ark mobile, мобильное сообщество теряет надежду, нынешние разработчики в значительной степени разочаровались в игре, за последние 3 года не было добавлено ни одного контента.

    И когда мы спрашиваем их, будет ли обновление, они всегда остаются очень расплывчатыми, говоря нам, что большая часть студии Groove Street Games перешла на другие проекты и больше не работает над мобильной версией Ark.

    Ok, so I have a question... Do we get the DLCs for free if we already have ark:survival evolved, bc I got it the same price as this when it releases so I just didn't know if we could just download them.

    Clearly states you don't get the DLC for free. Just the updated original version you already paid for.

    1.) I feel like they should reset all 52 current servers we have. (I feel this because the meta for switch is really cringe and I feel most people would agree with me)

    2.) It's about time switch gets some love, after 3 or more years, we haven't got anything except problems

    I am incredibly thankful for this update because us switch players have fell into this addictive game thinking that we are going to get all the maps and enjoy the WHOLE game. It is an incredible upgrade. Thank you Wildcard and all other coders/designers working on the new switch update and the Ultimate Survivor Edition.

     

    keep up the good work

     

    we are already noticing changes to the game, everything up close is green lol, R.I.P texture.

    Are the servers going to get a wipe or do I get to keep all my progress?   Please don't wipe servers!

    Please no!  There are plenty of servers that need population.   Don't ruin the hours people have already spent.

    hi oldfatman, long time no see, the reason i say this is because the current meta for both pvp and pve is going to be incredibly outdated, litteraly raptors are considered some of the top meta on pvp. I understand where alot of people don't want to have all their progress wiped, but alot of changes are going to happen, people are going to replace their lines with tek varients and x/r variets, and the 200 dino kibble farms we have rn are going to be forgotten and left to despawn. alot of lines are going to be replaced with skiffs and manas etc. like i said, i understand your pov, but this is what i think should happen

    I understand your side also alphaboi.   I just think a server wipe would be a huge kick in the nads for anybody who put up with this broken version we have right now.

    You have to pay for the story Dlc'S Scorched earth, Aberation, Exticntion and gen 1 and 2. The Dlc's like Rag, val, and Lost islands are free and so will Fjiorder

    There's no confirmation that the free DLCs will be coming to the Switch.

    An education edition hm? Wonder how that'll work.

    Sorry for double post, i cant edit in a quote.

     

    Id say it be somewhat like AC Origin's educational mode but probably more free-roamy.

    Yeah, we paid the same price as the people who are going to buy the new version, which from what i read comes with the dlc, but now we need to pay for the dlc separate. Hopefully they have a pass available to buy so that its a one time purchase, and itll basically just upgrade you to ultimate survivors edition
