Within the newest Neighborhood Crunch submit by Studio Wildcard, the studio confirmed that the upcoming Ark: Survival Ascended DLC, The Heart, has been delayed. Fortunately, followers will solely have to attend an additional 24 hours for its launch.
“The Heart is coming alongside properly and can certainly be prepared for launch in the beginning of June,” Studio Wildcard mentioned earlier at the moment. “To make sure a easy rollout although, the discharge date has been adjusted by at some point to June 4th.” It is unclear why, precisely, Studio Wildcard has opted to delay the discharge by at some point, however a minimum of the delay is minimal.
This marks the second delay for The Heart, because it was initially supposed to launch again in February. Simply days earlier than its launch, Studio Wildcard confirmed it might be delaying the DLC indefinitely. “We’ve made the choice to postpone the Heart because it wasn’t on observe to launch with the extent of high quality we require,” the studio mentioned in a Neighborhood Crunch submit earlier this 12 months.
Ark: Survival Ascended, which is an Unreal Engine 5 remaster of Ark: Survival Advanced, has seen nothing however controversies and delays since its announcement and subsequent launch final October. At the moment, Ascended has a “blended” assessment badge on Steam, with many citing efficiency points as the rationale for his or her adverse evaluations. One person even referred to Ascended as “money seize” by Studio Wildcard.
After as soon as once more receiving delays, Studio Wildcard launch the primary piece of DLC for Ark: Survival Ascended again in April: Scorched Earth. Sadly, this launch was as soon as once more met with a plethora of adverse evaluations, primarily attributable to poor efficiency. “Nearly unplayable with how a lot it lags and stutters,” one person mentioned, whereas one other mentioned, “I really like this map however I actually get 10 fps on it so it is unplayable.”
Hopefully Ascended’s subsequent DLC, The Heart, which is now attributable to launch on June 4th, comes with higher optimization than what’s seen within the base sport and former DLC.
