  • 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!

    Hey uh, any plans to bring the updated EU4 stuff to PC? because that sounds like it would help a lot.

     

    Actually, a lot of that stuff would be cool on PC. surprised to see it's coming to the switch of all things.

    The Switch version was garbo so they had to do something about it.

    Pretty impressive to see that they're putting this much effort into it and for free. The Switch deserves to get what its getting. Maybe the PC version will get a similar treatment but for now the Switch definitely deserved to be saved.

    3.5 years later and you finally decide to update the Switch version which has NEVER received a single update since launch. You already lost your player base on Nintendo, GG!

    I've removed posts having nothing to do with the Switch platform. Please do not hijack threads.

    They've said they'll be releasing more info on the new creatures. They are just doing it over time in the build up to Fjordur, like they've already teased Andrewsarchus. They've also got to tease more info on Fjordhawk and the Desmodus Draculae.

    They haven't confirmed when Carchar is coming to the game yet, I don't think there's any guarantee it will release when Fjordur does, so they are very likely to get more information out on Fjordhawk and Desmodus Draculae before they do Carchar. Just gotta wait a bit longer.

    It works better if you read the whole thing.

    Like what the raptor? I bought ark on switch the first day it came out, and i loved it even with every flaw it had. after 4 years i left it cuz a lot of people left and it got too repetitive. And NOW when everybody left the game, you do this, come on guys its too late.

    I partially agree with you, but only the base game will be free, all other add-ons will be for money, which WC writes about. Therefore, it is not correct to say that WC updated the game for free.

    They just did, quite literally, update the game people already paid for. 

    For free.

    This is my last sugestion but i think the dino that needs a tlc the most is the dilo. I would love to see a dilo that is the size of a carno and can be ridden.

    Honestly i think the dilo needs some love so wildcard please give it to them. Mabey a slightly changed model and a size up is all they need.

    Please rework or remake ark mobile aswell, the mobile community is loosing hope, the current devellopers have pretty much gave up on the game there haven't been a single piece of content added in over 3 years now.

    And when we ask them if there is going to be an update they always stay very vague telling us most of Groove Street Games studio have moved on other projets and no longer work on Ark survival evolved mobile .
