Is ASA releasing early or late October?

ASA now comes out in October *at the earliest*, with SE following in December and the rest of the maps following throughout 2024. On top of that, they have a new canon map which I assume has been pushed to 2024 as well. ASA is now releasing in early access and is only leaving EA in late 2024. There are absolutely no chances that ARK 2 is coming out anytime in 2024. Probably second half of 2025 if we're lucky. The fact that they are delaying the release of an entire map while still pushing the release date to October and marking it as an Early Access is extremely inauspicious. Also, the picture with the assets reveal is very disappointing lol. The before and after look identical save for some very, very minor texture changes. Ark Survival Ascended: Expectations Descended

"Keep an eye out on future Community Crunches because every other week we'll be revealing new assets so you get an artistic impression of what "Remaster" means in ARK Survival Ascended." I guess that's just another false statement by studio WC

I hope you guys add new achievements to ASA. ASE's achievements were limited to the island and none of the dlcs added additional achievements. I hope to see new achievements as that would give additional motive to play.

This gives me a sliver of hope that the game might actually come out this year. Looking forward to what is to come in the following weeks!
