DLC expansions might seem like the main thing to look forward to in the future of Ark: Survival Ascended, but the most interesting update in the works is a different sort of thing entirely. Ark: Survival Ascended already has a much clearer roadmap than most games, thanks to the fact that it follows a pre-established formula as a remake of Ark: Survival Evolved. The big focus is on delivering all of the DLC that the original game featured, although the core content will be free for anyone who purchased the game this time instead of racking up individual transactions again.
