Six months after confirming that the once-thought-free upgrade to Ark: Survival Evolved would eventually cost $39.99 with a launch discount and $44.99 without, Studio Wildcard has finally given players a peep at what’s to come – through a simple screenshot that&r✱squo;s already being gently teased by the communit🎃y.

The developer tweeted the rather high-resolution image below with the additional text of: “Smile! ASA꧅ certification builds have been submitted. Hang in there! We can't wait for you guys to get your hands on Ark: Survival As൩cended!” 

For a quick bit of co𒉰ntext, Survival Ascended – the Unreal Engine 5 upgrade of Evolved – is due to release this month, though we haven’t heard much about it ov🌳er the months, until this one screenshot.

As ever, the survival🐈 game’s community is making the best of the situation.

Aside from that, most fans are about the ef꧅fect a game with that much graphica🐎l gravitas will have on their rigs.

“My ass [about to] get ate by a raptor in 4k HD ultra max,” o🦹ne player says. Another adds: “Now the game will take 2TB of hard drive space - Wild🐟card probably.”

The community’s mood toward the eventual Survival Evolved spruce-up hasn’t been grand over the past year. Alongside the news that Ark 2 would face another delay, fans found out that playing Ark: Survival Ascended would likel♋y mean putting $50 down on an Ark 2 pre-order bu✃ndle, rather tha🥃n being the free upgrade once heavily implied. Oh, and then they found out that Ark: Survival Evolved’s official servers were marked for extinction, further pushing the community towards buying the upgrade. 

Studio Wildcard has since made Survival Ascend♒ed 🐠a standalone purchase on PC and Xbox, not just PlayStation – though frustrations over cost and servers still linger. But hey, that screenshot do bཧe pಞacking the polygons.
