Microsoft previewed the first look at Ark: Survival Ascended, a remake of the original Ark: Survival Evolved, developed by Studio Wildcard on Unreal Engine 5. Showcased during the Xbox Partner Preview, the game features familiar dinosaur-filled environments and supports cross-platform modding with Unreal Engine 5. This makes the Xbox Series X and S version of the game able to utilize mods created for the PC version. Ark: Survival Ascended aims to be the ultimate gaming modding ecosystem, with professionally developed original content and IP. The game also features an overhauled user interface, improved third-person camera, and advanced dynamic navigation system for intelligent creature pathfinding. The game will come with all previously released DLCs and maps in a remade form along with its own content roadmap, including new story content, gameplay and quality-of-life improvements, new DLCs and seasonal events. Studio Wildcard is also developing a sequel, Ark 2, and Ark: The Animated Series.
