ARK: Survival Ascended

Studio Wildcard, Grove Street Games, and Instinct Games developed ARK: Survival Ascended. Studio Wildcard and Snail Games USA published the game. It launched in Early Access on October 25, 2023 for PC. PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S versions followed. The game is a full Unreal Engine 5 remake of ARK: Survival Evolved.

À propos du jeu

You wake up stranded on a mysterious island full of dinosaurs and hostile wildlife. To survive, you gather resources, craft tools, and build shelter. Furthermore, the game supports tribe-based multiplayer and long-term base progression. These systems remain the heart of the experience.

Survival Ascended rebuilds the original ARK with Unreal Engine 5. Lighting, foliage, water, and creature detail all receive major upgrades. Additionally, the remake supports modding and cross-platform multiplayer. More maps and expansions continue to arrive as content updates.

Caractéristiques principales

Unreal Engine 5 Visual Overhaul

The remake uses UE5 to rebuild every visual system. Lighting, materials, and creature models are all improved. As a result, the world looks dramatically more detailed than the original ARK. The difference is especially visible in dense jungle and water environments.

Creature Taming and Tribe Survival

You can tame, breed, and ride hundreds of different creatures. Tribe play is central to long-term base defence and large-scale combat. Furthermore, cross-platform multiplayer lets players on different platforms play together. This keeps the online community more unified.

Demanding Hardware Profile

The game is noticeably more demanding than the original ARK. Minimum specs already require 16 GB of RAM and an SSD. Recommended settings need even stronger GPU hardware. Therefore, older PCs may struggle to run it smoothly even at low settings.
