Ark 2 will "hopefully" release in early access by 2027, once Studio Wildcard crack the dark art of soulslike combat
Ark 2, the troubled sequel to dino husbandry survival game Ark Survival Evolved, will "hopefully" launch into early access by 2027, according to Studio Wildcard co-founder Jeremy Stieglitz. The key question appears to be when to shift the focus away from Ark: Survival Ascended, the original Ark's Unreal Engine 5 revamp, which launched in early access in 2023. Also, designing a Soulslike combat system is hard.
