They're going to to support ASA for as long as is makes the amount of money they need it to make, and then they'll stop supporting it when the income drops off too much or they finally create some other game that makes lots of money. So far every game they've tried other than ARK has failed, so if you want to know the future of ASA the best thing you can do is buy a really good crystal ball.

Yggdrassil Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 From the information we have, the roadmap is approx 2 years so its safe to expect at least that from it. It will likely live on past genesis for a while plus any other 'plans' or delays they have so in my opinion i think its fair to expect a 3-5 year life.

Grissom Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 Id imagine 3-5 years atleast. 3 years would be way on the low end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Fab Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 You will likely long quit ASA by the time they pull the plug on support. Furthermore, I assume Ark 2 will have been out for a while by then too. I think when Ark 2 comes out, they should consider consolidating servers instead of having a bunch of dead servers. Only time will tell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only time will tell ASE is played for 8 years by many and ARK2 is a different game. Most likely we'll be just as surprised for the end of support as we were now. First end of events "cuz ARK2 soon" and now "Sunsetting ASE cuz ASA soon". It is the wrong order, twice in a row! WC is quiting way before they offer their playerbase an alternative, no high expectations anymore on this one. Tme will tell indeed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If ASA continues to make enough money (with more DLC's) then they'll continue supporting it. If income drops because there are not enough players buying new DLC's then they'll stop supporting it. Even if WildCard has published a schedule for how long they plan to support ASA, they would just be guessing, just like they've done with every other game. And, of course, this entire discussion depends on the assumption that they'll sell enough copies of ASA to pay back or refinance all of their current debts (and they owe a lot of money). In the end, you'll have to decide for yourself whether you think WC will stay in business, and whether you think ASA will make enough money to keep being supported in the future.
