At the end of the day, this will come down to how many people want to, and can afford to, spend $60 for a game they have already bought and have probably completed. If they only play Ark and no other computer games at all, then maybe they will. I, for one, have absolutely no intention of doing that and will happily play Ark on my local server from time to time, if I can't play on Official servers any more, or, more likely, buy and play different games. Your business model is very puzzling. You would do much better to give ASA away for free, with all existing DLC and then continue to release new DLC every 3-6 months (until Ark 2 is completely ready) with new creatures and new maps for the standard $20 or so. That would pretty much guarantee that every regular Ark player continues to buy new content from you and generate revenue while you complete the development of Ark 2. Instead you are hoping that a subset of your customers pays the full $60. I think it will be less than a third of the people that would buy the $20 DLC, so you'll be worse off. But what do I know? As it is, I'll spend my money elsewhere and see you in 2024 or whenever you get round to releasing Ark.
