Studio Wildcard ne confirm kiya hai ki ARK 2 abhi 2028 mein release hone ki planned hai, jo ki unki popular survival franchise ke long-awaited sequel par sabse clear update hai. Yeh news studio co-founder Jeremy Stieglitz ne Snail Games ke New York mein hue recent Investor Day presentation ke dauraan share ki, jahan publisher ne ARK: Survival Ascended ke liye aane wale kai saalon ke content ka outline diya.
ARK 2 ko ek clean break ke taur par launch karne ke bajaye, Studio Wildcard ek gradual approach le raha hai. Players se expect kiya ja raha hai ki woh sequel ke mechanics aur narrative foundations ke early versions ko 2027 ke end tak ARK: Survival Ascended mein aane wale major expansions ke through dekhenge.
ARK Yahan Tak Kaise Pahuncha
ARK franchise 2014 mein development shuru hone ke baad se steadily evolve hui hai. ARK: Survival Evolved ne 2015 mein early access mein entry ki aur ek long-running survival platform ban gaya. 2023 mein, Studio Wildcard ne ARK: Survival Ascended launch kiya, jo ki Unreal Engine 5 par chalne wale game ka rebuilt version hai, aur ab yeh studio ka primary development base serve karta hai.
Snail Games ke according, Survival Ascended ne 4 million se zyada copies sell ki hain. Yeh game PC, PlayStation 5, aur Xbox Series X/S par user-generated content ko support karta hai, jisse mods ko platforms across share kiya ja sakta hai. Ab tak 5,000 se zyada mods create ho chuke hain, jismein hundreds of millions of downloads hain, jisse community-created content game ke ecosystem ka ek central pillar ban gaya hai. Haalanki yeh ek web3 product ke taur par position nahi kiya gaya hai, creator participation par yeh emphasis player-driven content platforms ke broader trends ke saath align hota hai.
Expansions Jo Series Ko Aage Badhate Hain
Latest expansion, ARK: Lost Colony, is week launch ho raha hai aur kai franchise firsts introduce karta hai. Players ab AI-controlled human characters ko apne tribes mein recruit kar sakte hain, jabki computer-controlled factions bases build karte hain jinhein attack aur loot kiya ja sakta hai. Expansion mein naye creatures bhi add kiye gaye hain aur yeh ek darker, vampire-inspired theme par focus karta hai.
Narratively, Lost Colony ARK universe ko MAPPA dwara produce ki gayi animated sequences aur Unreal Engine 5 ki Metahuman technology ka use karke banaye gaye in-game cinematics ke through expand karta hai. Cast mein Michelle Yeoh, Madeleine Madden, Auli'i Cravalho, aur Karl Urban shamil hain, jo character Bob ke taur par return kar rahe hain. Yeh release Bob ke redesigned appearance ka bhi debut mark karta hai, jo Urban ke baad model kiya gaya hai.
Urban ka character future downloadable content mein appear karna jaari rakhega, jismein 2026 mein Bob’s True Tales: Tides of Fortune aur 2027 mein Bob’s True Tales: Galaxy Wars shamil hain, jo franchise mein unki badhti hui role ko reinforce karta hai.
ARK 2 Ki Taraf Le Jane Wala Multi-Year Plan
Studio Wildcard ne 2027 tak ek detailed roadmap outline kiya. 2026 mein, studio ARK: Survival of the Fittest ko relaunch karne ka plan kar raha hai, jo ki large-scale survival combat par focused ek competitive spin-off hai. Yeh mode ab Studio Siren dwara handle kiya ja raha hai, jo ise ek ongoing esports-style experience ke taur par support karega.
Usi saal ek pirate-themed expansion, Bob’s True Tales: Tides of Fortune, bhi aa raha hai, jiske saath ARK Genesis map bhi release hoga. 2026 ke baad mein, Studio Wildcard ARK World Creator introduce karne ka plan kar raha hai, jo ki ek naya in-game tool hai jo content creation ko zyada accessible banane ke liye design kiya gaya hai. Traditional modding tools ke vipreet, yeh players ko game ke andar directly experiences build karne ki anumati deta hai, jise Fortnite ke UEFN aur Roblox-style creation systems se compare kiya ja sakta hai.
Content 2027 mein bhi jaari rahega jismein ARK Dragontopia, ARK Atlantis, aur Bob’s True Tales: Galaxy Wars jaise expansions shamil hain, jo space combat aur large-scale ship battles par focus karta hai. Saal ka end Legacy of Santiago ke saath hoga, ek expansion jo ARK: Survival Ascended ko seedhe ARK 2 se connect karta hai.
Live Game Ke Andar Future Ka Testing
Stieglitz ke according, Legacy of Santiago narrative bridge aur ARK 2 ke liye mechanical testing ground dono ke taur par kaam karta hai. Naye combat systems, jismein third-person melee aur Soulslike-inspired encounters shamil hain, is expansion mein introduce kiye jayenge isse pehle ki woh sequel mein appear hon.
Yeh approach franchise ke andar pichhle transitions ke dauraan seekhe gaye lessons ko reflect karta hai. Jab ARK: Survival Evolved ka support abruptly end ho gaya, kai players move on karne ke liye unprepared mahsus kar rahe the. Studio Wildcard ab ARK 2 launch hone ke baad bhi Survival Ascended ko update karna jaari rakhne ka plan kar raha hai, jisse players apne pace par transition kar saken.
Vin Diesel Ki Role Flexible Bani Hui Hai
ARK 2 ke surrounding sabse bade unknowns mein se ek Vin Diesel ki involvement ka extent hai. Diesel ko 2020 mein project ka ek key part announce kiya gaya tha, lekin unki availability uncertain bani hui hai. Stieglitz ne acknowledge kiya ki studio ko milne wale performance capture ki amount decide karegi ki Diesel ka character game ki story ke liye kitna central hoga.
Studio Wildcard ne Diesel ke participation level ke hisaab se multiple narrative paths develop kiye hain. Haalanki Karl Urban ki presence recent ARK content mein expand hui hai, studio ne confirm nahi kiya hai ki unki role ARK 2 mein aur aage badhegi ya nahi.
Sequel Ki Taraf Ek Measured Path
New ideas ko ek single release ke liye hold back karne ke bajaye expansions ke through roll out karke, Studio Wildcard risk kam karne ki koshish kar raha hai jabki player engagement maintain rakhe. Yeh strategy aakhirkar ARK 2 ko benefit karegi ya nahi, yeh is baat par depend karega ki yeh systems existing community ke saath kitne well resonate karte hain aur sequel jab 2028 mein finally arrive hoga to kitne clearly khud ko distinguish karta hai.
