We sincerely hope you haven't booked time off work to build and defend your own slice of the ARK: Survival Evolved world as it finally releases into a proper 1.0 state - because that's not happening quite as soon as originally planned. After many long years in an Early Access state, popular survival game ARK: Survival Evolved is about to miss its original August 8 release date citing potential boxed copy logistics as a cause.
You Won't Lose Progress When ARK: Survival Evolved Launches - But You Can Start Fresh
ARK: Survival Evolved Leaves Early Access With An Elaborate Limited Edition Bundle
The update itself was due to bring new engrams, biomes, 'Wyvern canyon', a new boss and some little secret the devs are keeping firmly under wraps. But it isn't all bad news; the delay means the team are now expecting to ship an even bigger Ragnarok update than they initially thought. The extended release window means they're conjuring up a play area that's 1/4 bigger than it was originally planned to be. Or, in vanilla ARK terms, bigger by one hole 'The Island' - the game's original map. In the mean time, expect a couple more little patches to come your way as the team attempts to iron out any bugs and glitches that could severely impact the first impressions of those picking up a boxed copy for the first time. This release means ARK is coming to consoles, and they're a little less used to Early Access states.
