Studio Wildcard has launched a 'major' update for ARK: Survival Evolved's modding software, ARK Development Kit, available now.
Ark Survival Ascended is a remake of Evolved using the Unreal Engine 5. Featuring cutting-edge visuals, including Lumen GI, Nanite geometry, and Virtual Shadows, it’s a lofty upgrade over the original. Unfortunately, the performance is far from ideal, requiring frame generation for playable framerates on even the fastest PCs.
ARK: Survival Ascended has introduced Premium Mods on consoles. Wccftech talked to Studio Wildcard and their partner Overwolf about the rising importance of user-generated content, especially for live service games.
Speaking with Game Rant, Ark director Jeremy Stieglitz outlines the approaches taken to adapting the game's plot for the animated series.
