Ark Survival: Ascended has seen a massive year of updates and gameplay expansions from Studio Wildcard throughout 2024. The survival game full of dinosaurs and other incredible beasts has seen some visual improvements and expansion in maps unavailable in the original Ark: Survival Evolved. With several delays in releases, there is some uncertainty about where Survival Ascended is heading and the long-awaited sequel, Ark 2. Since this has been the first full year of release for Survival Ascended, there is still a lot of progress on the remastered title that would allow more quality of life and expanded gameplay mechanics.
