Despite being announced five years ago, we have still yet to see the release of Ark 2. Studio Wildcard has bridged the gap over the last couple of years with the release of Ark: Survival Ascended, a remake of the first game in Unreal Engine 5. Now, a new expansion for that remake is set to give fans a preview of what to expect from Ark 2. 

Ark: Lost Colony, the first new expansion for Ark: Survival Ascended, is coming out this November. The expansion will feature new animated cutscenes from renowned anime studio, MAPPA.

The expansion will take players to a “vast occupied city” to obtain new abilities, unique gear and access new creatures and building features. Story-wise, the campaign will bridge the gap between Ark 1 and Ark 2, which is likely to now come out in 2026, when the roadmap for Lost Colony ends.

There is no official release date for Ark 2 at this time. Previous attempts at meeting a release window resulted in lengthy delays.

KitGuru Says: Are you still playing Ark much these days? Will you be getting the new expansion and are you still looking forward to the sequel?
