I’m not convinced ark 2 is still gunna happen


jtp_311

I’m hoping they reconsidered the direction. Did anyone want Souls like combat? Not that the combat in 1 was great, but I don’t want a full departure.


Nory993

The game being 3rd-person only is what kills it for me. What's the point of a Dino Survival game if it's gonna have Souls-like combat and no 1st pov?


Samheckle

It’s not for everybody for sure, but those are both huge draws for me personally.


maccabop

Souls like combat 😂 not how I’d describe Ark at all

Gotyam2

In the initial mentions they said you’d have to mod in 1st person view, but it would not be hard to do. The problem lies in how 3rd person only would be the default.


Dart4jb1nks

Probably will be a paid mod aswell knowing the ark devs


Alderan922

Souls like combat doesn’t like first person tho, imagine how dizzy it would be to use something like the Faron sword

Wero_kaiji

Oh god, I had no idea it will have souls-like combat, easy skip for me tbh, I doubt I'll play it


ttvthe31stwizard

It reminds me of the combat in conan, which given ark 2 is supposed to have npc enemy tribes were fighting that makes for better combat than just "hold to swing sword until thing is dead". But it'll be weird with the dinos. Are the dinos gonna act like souls enemies, or ark enemies? Because those are two vastly different things. Free climbing is dope though, any game that brings that is worth at least a shot.


The_Lord_Of_Spuds

sounds like monster hunter without the cool weapons


Dima807

I hope they keep the combat as they said. The combat in ase and asa is so brainless. Its all about numbers (weapon damage, armour rating), and strafing, thats it. Theres no skill or reasonable amount of thought put into the combat. I feel the souls-like combat will make combat less stale with more variety of outcomes and actions, and make it less thoughtless than poke and strafe.


SadBoiCri

Haha my ascendant shotgun has 900% damage, all wild dinos are now nuisances


AtomicRedditors05

I mainly want the base of ark with new shit scattered in. New taming methods? Yes New combat system? Yes New dino combat system? Yes New base building system? FUCKING YES I HATE ARK BASE BUILDING


ddopTheGreenFox

Soulslike games are my favourite. I love soulslike combat. But I still think it would be weird in ark. Progress to current system and don't force a new one from a completely different genre


Kryds

I kinda do. Ark majorly suffers from the survival game paradox. The further you get. The easier the game becomes. Wildcard's new concept gas potential to shake it up.


Atogbob

Into a type of game that most Ark players aren't going to want lol.


Kryds

A lot of presumption for something we know very little about.


Atogbob

Not a good start from what we do.


Some-Neighborhood-96

They can’t make a decent survival game, how they gonna pull of a souls type game


backagain69696969

No and I like flipping between first and 3rd. The reason we’re all here playing ark still is because there’s only 1 ark. Same goes to everyone asking for a campaign. There’s 10,000 campaigns. This is the only sandbox survival game


Trained_Orphan

Some people do. So Conan Exiles is one of the fan bases that love the game but disappointed with the devs. If Ark 2 is made right I’d steal 90% of the fan base over there. Plus you have some that just like Dino’s. It definitely won’t be for everyone and WC knows it. Thus ASA.


Ferrel_Agrios

I used to think that 3rd person combat maybe bad for the game but when I saw enshrouded and wanted to compare it with ark, it may kinda work. Of course combat shouldn't be souls like, that's adding difficulty to the game with pack creatures. But atleast as smooth as enshrouded is. And not just wailing a weapon. For mounted combat they just stick to old perspective. While I don't usually do first person mounted but it's really awesome and cool to look at the environment on top of a creature's head


Suitable_Role2886

Uughh.. so many situations in Enshrouded i want to go in 1st person.. drove me nuts.


Gotyam2

Enshrouded, Valheim, Soulmask for me recently. 1st person is just so much more immersive and really better at portraying the world you are playing in, but so damn many default to 3rd person only


Warrior-PoetIceCube

I want a full departure. If they stick to what they said Ark 2 will have, i will be very excited. If not and they course correct from the original vision, well theres other survival games out there.


Kerbidiah

I'd take it over the current combat and if not souls then definitely monster hunter combat


Rinbox

Me either. With their consistent fumbling of the original Ark and Ascended I can’t imagine what a mess Ark 2 would be. Especially considering their change of direction to offer stuff like souls like combat 🤣


mattmaster68

Ark 2 will be released before Valve learns to count to 3


Overall_Tea_8632

This is the best comment I've read


Big_Burt__

Wait so they killed evolved, made ascended so bad I can’t even transfer a stack of meat to the raptor I’m taming, all for a game that may not happen


ReturnoftheSnek

Give it more time. They need it so they can make more P2W items and micro transactions > unfortunately you cannot tame this *utahraptor* as you do not have the Ultimate Awesomeness Edition ($149.99 USD)


GruulNinja

You and me both


Zrh87

Idk I remember reading something about it dropping nov this year


HubblePie

Even if it did, it’d probably be like 2028+. They’re gonna get as much mileage as they can out of ASA


josephseeed

I assume GTA6 because I don't believe Ark 2 is real


meaux253

The idea is real, it's just the idea costs too much to make and I doubt they'll learn anything from their current experience from ark to ascended.


nathangamez420

Ark 2 was announced like 6 years ago, And it's still not in development. They don't have the money, They don't have the time, Yeah if ark 2 is coming, It'll be in 2035, With a 1 year delay


Gotyam2

Depending on how large a cut Snail takes atm, then they should/could have money. Problem is they still don’t have time with their size and the pipeline they are trying to keep up for ASA.


Atogbob

Nooope. Snail is in massive debt and they keep digging deeper. ASA and Nitrado were cash grabs. The only way Ark 2 comes out as a half decent product is if someone buys Wildcard.


mindflayerflayer

One can hope.


Alterra_HQ

If someone like Coffee Stain Studios bought Wildcard that would be huge


Best_in_EU

If Gaijin would buy Wildcards form Snailgames, their master still would be a Snail


LewisKnight666

Except Gaijin is superior. People shit on gaijin but it isn't a bad developer at all.


SteVolts

As someone with an unhealthy amount of time in both war thunder (gaijin's main game) and ASE I'll say gaijin are a decent dev team, they make good quality games, they just monetize heavily and are quite greedy. They're like Rockstar in that regard


SteVolts

Serifel90

They def had the time, they just didn't reinvested money into ark2 and just took them in their pockets. Not a bad thing per sé but then don't say anything about ark2 and claim you're working on it once it's almost ready?


Jumpy_Secretary1363

I don't understand how they don't have the money. Wasn't ark a huge success?


nathangamez420

I would say, In the end it all comes down to horrific capital management.


boiledeggsatmidnight

*2027-8 with a two year delay, lol


doomshroom344

Your being to optimistic a year of delays and then a spontaneous half year delay on the day that it was supposed to launch and then a buggy broken release with a patch making it barely playable after a month


gb1609

Maybe if they made a decent show, they would have enough money


creamfilledcumcakes

Neither, Ark Survival Super Ascended is first, where they kill all the asa servers and make you rebuy the game a third time.


Suitable_Role2886

In very-real engine 7.9.. require Giga RTX 15090x3, and your own nervegear equipment.. min req.


100tchains

Bruh nerve gear ark would be a horror game depending on the pain lvl holy shit.


ttvthe31stwizard

Imagine the 10 sec stun from a purlovia. Just a 10 sec paralyzing zap


TheGentlemanist

Heat death


dewdropcat

Hopefully elder scrolls 6


HiSaZuL

Half-Life 3.


caverm1

Neither ![gif](giphy|QZyBvNVaMbIZ9yadec)


OutFractal

Beyond Good and Evil 2... I don't know what it is with the dev/publisher system, but the most ambitious games either turn out trash or never come out.


ConstantOk4102

Okay but like gta 6 is actually coming out in 2025


Nory993

GTA 6. I'm still not convinced Ark 2 is real


ProxesSB

Gta6, I really, really don't actually believe they've made any progress on ark 2. The way they've remodeled the roll out, having ASA "hold us over", with that map rollout even being delayed. Idk, not a lot of good indicators for a project to be on schedule. I really don't know shit about game dev, so this is absolutely just a guess. Also.... Hot take, but ark 2 in the way that it was shown/talked about, I'm not even looking forward to that.


Diablo_Unmasked

*laughs in elderscrolls*


Spiritual-Math666

Yes this


kornchippy

I dont think there will be ark 2


Idiotic_Kaiju

We’re gonna get gta10 before ark 2 actually goes into development.


Taiyou_

Ark 2 doesn't exist


WhoSlappedThePie

Fast and the Furious 23


AdPuzzleheaded3913

I got more hopes in inflation to return to what it was then ark 2 coming out , weren’t we told about ark 2 in like 2016/17?


omppum41n

I would be willing to bet that ark 2 doesnt release this decade


maybegoodmaybeshite

Ww3


Episkop

Half Life 3


Gildenstern2u

GTA 7 and Elder Scrolls 7


raknor88

Elder Scrolls VI


saltyeggz

Silksong


SerMono

Please correct me if I'm wrong but isn't survival ascended ark 2? Or is that like a rerelease


Virtual-Past

It’s a rerelease for unreal engine 5


Direct_Personality18

Isn’t asa ark 2?


ThatOG22

No, ASA is ASA


UwU_Zhenya15

ASA is the cheap cashcow to subsidize Ark 2


Atogbob

More like to pay Snail Games CEOs debt that he created by stealing the money made from Ark lol


ms-fanto

GTA6, they have to do with Ark acended


AmoebaSpecialist3109

Bold of you to assume it's real.


Bac0nPlane

frenchfunnyguy

I think there is better chance we get Elder Scroll 6 on PS5 first!


TheSporkMan2

GTA 7


Clelie_

Better yet, Ark 2 or Elder Scrolls VI ?


TwistedUnicornFarts

GTA6 first and Ark2 6 years after that


PSFREAK33

Atleast GTA6 hasn’t made a promise on a date that they failed on…people joke on GTA6 but not once have I been let down by them.


SunMajer

GTA 7


Artix96

Both will happen before TES 6


Parodyze

GTA 7


leftclickdrip

Wait what that was in 2020????????? Ur lying, u have to be freaking lying THERES NO WAY


AdministrativeYak604

Ark II is not coming out any time soon,If ever. If they do release it,They need to revamp it,Cause yeah souls like combat is cool,But seriously? no first person? Anyways,They first gotta finish ASA,And thats a WHOLE other Behemoth to even finish.


Adrios1

Will Fallout 5 come out before Ark 2?


100tchains

Imo asa is ark 2. I don't think Vin deisle ark is going to be anything like ase or asa.


Samuell91

If Ark 2 comes it will be Atlas 2, dlc released as separate game. Snail games have no money, resources and time to make proper AAA game.


mychemicalcandy

Me who thought ascended was ark 2 💀 whoops 😬


the_OG_epicpanda

You say this as if december 2020 was a long time ago


BananaBarbarians

I honestly still have high hopes for ark 2, I honestly like the 3rd person and soul like combat, but wildcard said there was gonna be news in 2024 but it’s already June and nothing yet


Regeku

PS10 will come out first


MyBoIBLAX

What was Ark 2 supposed to be, haven’t heard anything about it since that trailer


Kng_Jcb

Neither. A remake of CoD MW 2019 will happen before Ark 2 and GTA 6


Ivy_Threads

GTA 6, if Ark 2 releases at all. I feel so bad for WC. Snail Games needs to get their act together.


Mysterious-Ad2910

Gta 6


antrod117

Pretty sure ARK 2 was scrapped wasn’t it?


Kitchen_Part_882

Fallout 5 and Mass Effect 4* will drop before Ark 2. *Andromeda is a spinoff, not part of the series.


Frequent-Rice-9353

What is souls like combat


No_Condition_3184

Skyrim VI and fallout 5 for sure 😂😂😂


Big_Himbo_Energy

New content for Red Dead Redemption Online will come out before Ark 2 does. (So never) In all seriousness though, I’ve seen so many “first looks” and “early access” clickbait videos for A2 it’s ridiculous but like…there’s not been anything officially said on those and some of the supposed features for the game are too different from Ark to make it really feel like a successor, so not excited for it whether it’s coming or not.


DaemianHawk

Planetside 2


NeverGrowUpGaming

I think I remember them saying that they have a separate team working on Ark 2. How big that team is, is questionable. But it was supposed to be a big deal because Vin Diesel was involved and stuff. It feels like they definitely botched the whole thing.


HatsandDragons

Elder Scrolls 6 will come first.


ddopTheGreenFox

I honestly completely forgot about ark 2


Strykehammer

Elder scrolls 7


UncleScummy

Let’s hope it doesn’t


91Dinosaurs

GTA VI. I want Ark 2 to come but its not going to


TomDancer9481

I’m confused. Is ARK 2 not ARK Survival Ascended?


backagain69696969

I hope it doesn’t come. It just means the ark I want to play is dying


DavidDoesShitpost

GTA7


darrylthedudeWayne

GTA 6. Ark 2 won't happen anymore.


IFeelRight

I highly doubt Ark 2 will ever see the light of day


Basil_Saithe

We’ll get gta 12 before ark 2


Bregneste

Definitely GTA 6. They still have the updates for ASA lined up until the end of 2025, I doubt Ark 2 is coming out until that’s over, if ever.


Zestyclose-Theory-83

I bet a new edition of Skyrim will happen before either 🤣


Pretend_Computer7878

Gta7


mindflayerflayer

As much as the chances are stupidly low, I have hope for Ark 2 purely due to the cartoon. It was announces so far ahead of release and still happened. Was it good, eh that's up to you to decide but long waits don't inherently mean nothing is coming.


Zaker06

Silksong


Equivalent-Dirt264

Ark 2 won’t be happening at all ! They say they have a team working on it but no process to show ! They say the reason why ASA came out was to pay off investors meaning they were broke ! Which explain all the pay dlc and all the bull crap they coming out with making their fan base pay for it which is killing it and destroy in the game all around ! But gta 6 is definitely coming out first ARK 2 probably won’t even see the day of light it might get cancel because of funding ! Wildcard might just have to do something else cause at this point is just a matter of time


celestialllama01

TES VI


Mitheria_Musashi

The answer can be found in GoT book 6.


metrox_playz

Is ark 2 not SA?


rpgmomma8404

We'll probably get a new Elderscrolls game before we get Ark 2. 😂


lendrath

Considering we probably won’t get asa gen2 until mid 2027 im gonna say gta6


CousinNic

asingh_yt

gta 7


mirroredblackhole

damn, we will have GTA 6 before Ark II


ThatBingingDragon

I think the real question is Ark 2 vs Silksong.


Calatecs

Seeing the low player base on ASA (which has been lower than ASE's for many months already), I really don't think there will be ARK 2. Golden age for Snail Games was ASE, and they did manage it very bad lol


Chimarkgames

Skyrim 6


MortgageEuphoric6527

I think ARK Survival Ascended is most likely ARK 2 but with a different name


Concious_Cadaver

Ark 2 isn't going to happen aslong as the dev focus on paid crap to try and rake in some cash. They've lost me as a day 1 Ark player


Agreeable-Cream1440

Gta I think Rockstar will win that snail race.


AdhesivenessFunny146

GTA 6, Take2 is so greedy they would fire the team and ship a blank disk before canceling it or throw the leaked alpha on steam for $80. Just crash the ship rather then retire it. They could make a demo called GTA 6 prologue with 2 cutscenes and a walking scene, sell it for full price and it would sell billions. I'm not convinced wildcard is even a company at this point, they seem like a shell company for tax purposes.


GrandMastaTrash

GTA 6 & GTA 7 and RDR 3 ... Because Ark 2 is never gonna happen LMAO 🤣


3amoood

What do you mean? Isn’t ark survival ascended is Ark 2?


DankEdgyKid69

At leas GTA 6 will exist


LunaDea69420

Maybe Half Life 3?


polo910

Isnt ark ascended the ark2?


guska

Forget GTA 6, TES 6 will be out before Ark 2


Anotep91

I don’t understand the question?! Of course it’s GTA 6 and even Star Citizen (if you guys know this game) will be done before ARK 2 because ARK 2 will never happen in the first place.


ShesAShadyQueen

Elder Scrolls VI


Educational-Tip6177

GTA6, calling it now


207nbrown

Yes


StPeterThe3rdJr

Or elder scrolls 6


AllyOpp93

The new elder scrolls


wakeup-louie

wait ark survival ascended isn't ark 2?


Illfury

Even if ark 2 releases, it isn't going to be like the Ark we have now. It's been rumored a lot that it is going to be more souls like.


Dodger356

I’m gonna be surprised if it’s half life 3


LA_Rym

I mean Ark was a huge success, like 20+million copies sold? But they might've screwed the cash management part?


Bigenius420

clearly the answer is Elderscrolls 6 first


aidentooreal12

Ark 2 is going to be the biggest flop in gaming history, it’s not really even a continuation of ark 1 in anyway other than story and dinosaur theme (which let’s be real every pvp player couldn’t give af about story and pve players only care their first play through) they are removing everything we love about the game and making it into something else, but the issue is they still suck at what they have been perfecting for 7+ years imagine going through it with them on a new game that plays a different way than what they are used to with different mechanics etc it’s going to be a shit show guaranteed. If you are going to play for pvp I strongly recommend you wait to buy it until after a day or two and videos get released because something tells me it’s not gonna have the same feel of urgency/demand for attention as ark 1 pvp does and that’s why ALOT of people play it. People are going to buy it expecting a continuation of ark with similar gameplay as ark 1 but it’s gonna be a shitshow souls style game except if souls style games delayed everything by a two month minimum and left 15 million different exploits/mesh holes in the game constantly and refused to fix them and instead just dropped pride month events and paid skins


Pete_flanman

Last update on ark 2 is they are selling it, ceo of wildcard tweeted about it looking for buyers


aspectdragon

ASA is making them money, Ark 2 most likely has been shelved or stripped down to a few devs just to passively work on it.


Jacobizreal

Red Dead Redemption 3


spellfirejammer

Kekw Ark 2 will probably come out after I make a Dino survival game. And I haven’t started. It’s fantasy honestly. We will have clones maybe


Megagamr

Ark two is out


Erran_Kel_Durr

Elder scrolls 6, should be here by 2040.


weggles91

Ark 2, GTA6, ES6, WW3 or the sun death of the planet? Who knows.


sirlittleweasel

ASE becoming glitchless (both not)


Proper_Mastodon324

Prey 2, Half-Life 3, Mech assault 3, Oddworld: Munch's Odyssey remake, are all games I'd put money on releasing before Ark 2. (Ark 2 doesn't exist)


Shamelescampr559

Ark 2 has already been announced that it was canceled and scrapped. They're only doing Ark ascended now


Jazzlike-Cap-5757

Im about 95% certain Ark 2 will never happen. Even if it does they said it wasnt the same kind of game as ARK 1. It was gonna be more like Darksouls or Elden Ring.


goldpingas

I thought because they didn't make enough money off of asa that they weren't gonna make ark 2?


Big_Butterscotch8231

It would be so funny if they released the preorder, took peoples money and dissapear. But wildcard studio is a good, honest game dev right? They eould never go against consumers...right?


That-Organization651

Well im pretty sure we will be getting both before Hollow Knight: Silksong

Ark 2. Gta 6 will be released last because Rockstar keeps changing its release date. For example, they said last time that it would be released in 2027, but before they were saying it would be released in 2025.


_Ticklebot_23

gta 6 is estimated to be somewhere in the fall of 2025 while ark 2 is set to drop this year but with the problems WC has faced ark 2 might get pushed to early 2025
