Studio Wildcard has announced release dates for Ark: Survival Ascended’s first two expansion map remasters – specifically, The Center and Scorched Earth – following their delay last year, confirming they’ll arrival in February and April respectively.
A spruced-up version of Scorched Earth was originally due to launch alongside Ark: Survival Ascended – the controversial full-price remaster of Wildcard’s 2015 dinosaur survival game Ark: Survival Evolved – last year. However, in July, the studio announced that not only was it pushing the launch of the base game back to October, its expansions would be delayed too.
As per its revised plans, Scorched Earth was now targeting a December launch, with Ascended’s remastered Ragnarok and Aberration maps due in „Q1 2024“. Unfortunately, it became apparent Wildcard’s propensity for delays had struck again when a updated roadmap released in December showed Scorched Earth was now due in March 2024, with Aberration aiming for July 2024 and Raganarok not unexpected until September.
And Wildcard has now announced a further delay for the desert-themed Scorched Earth map as part of its latest community update; the Ascended remaster is now due to arrive on 1st April 2024, bringing a full visual overhaul, a new dinosaur in the form of the sand-swimming Fasolasuchus – described as „the ultimate desert steed“ – plus western-themed customisation parts for bases.
