Ark 2 continues to be on: The following Ark growth ‘leads into the occasions of Ark 2,’ says Studio Wildcard

It has been some time since we have heard a lot about Ark 2, the sequel to survival recreation Ark: Survival Developed which was introduced all the way in which again in 2020. We began to surprise if the Vin Diesel-powered sequel was nonetheless taking place (and we aren’t the one ones), but it surely’s apparently nonetheless on: It simply received a point out in a press launch about upcoming Ark growth Misplaced Colony.

Ark: Misplaced Colony “connects the storylines of Ark’s Extinction and Genesis expansions and leads into the occasions of Ark 2,” says Studio Wildcard.

Misplaced Colony will probably be out this November, and is the primary growth particularly for Ark: Survival Ascended, the Unreal Engine 5 remake of the unique Ark: Survival Developed.

Because the Misplaced Colony teaser embedded above teases, Misplaced Colony will function anime-style cutscenes by MAPPA, the Japanese animation studio behind Jujutsu Kaisen, Assault on Titan, and Chainsaw Man. Michelle Yeoh is reprising her position as Mei-Yin Li from Ark: The Animated Collection and is joined by Madeleine Madden as Helena Walker.

Actor Auli’i Cravalho will even present up within the growth as Meeka, the daughter of Santiago, Vin Diesel’s Ark 2 character—the pair was final seen within the Ark 2 trailer from 2022, so there’s your sequel connection.

Misplaced Colony will take gamers to “an enormous occupied metropolis,” says Studio Wildcard, and can function “new sorts of character talents, distinctive gear, constructing programs, and phenomenally unique tames.”

The growth is about to launch in November for $30, and has a Steam web page now.

Because it’s meant to bridge the narrative hole between Ark and Ark 2, Misplaced Colony will presumably be the final Ark growth earlier than we lastly get a agency launch date for the sequel. We initially anticipated Ark 2 in 2022, then in 2023, after which in 2024, but it surely hasn’t proven up regardless of no official delay announcement.

I assume you simply cannot rush Mr. Diesel.

There’s additionally extra to return for Ark: Survival Ascended past Misplaced Colony—its present roadmap runs by means of 2026.
