Diesel’s Delays: The Unpredictable Fate of Ark 2

Ark 2 Delayed Until 2028: What We Know So Far

The highly anticipated release of Ark 2 has been delayed once again, pushing the launch date to 2028. This news comes after years of speculation and shifting release schedules, leaving fans both frustrated and amused. Studio Wildcard co-founder Jeremy Stieglitz recently shed light on the reasons behind the delay in an interview with the Epic Games Store blog. According to Stieglitz, the decision to postpone the release was driven by the team’s desire to perfect the game’s mechanics and technology in a phased approach rather than rushing a standalone product to market.

Stieglitz revealed that an expansion for Ark: Survival Ascended, titled Legacy of Santiago, is set to debut in 2027 and will introduce combat mechanics that will be featured in Ark 2. However, he emphasized that the expansion will not delve deeply into the narrative aspects that the team envisions for the sequel.

The narrative for Ark 2 is described as ambitious, with Stieglitz hinting at a significant role for actor Vin Diesel. The studio’s plans for the storyline hinge on Diesel’s involvement, raising questions about the extent of his participation. Stieglitz mentioned that the narrative direction will vary based on the amount of time Diesel can dedicate to the project, highlighting the uncertainty surrounding the actor’s commitment.

The decision to announce Ark 2 with a pre-rendered trailer featuring Vin Diesel has raised eyebrows, especially given the actor’s busy schedule and ongoing feuds with other celebrities. The future of the game’s development remains uncertain, with potential delays looming on the horizon.

What’s Next for Ark 2?

As fans eagerly await the release of Ark 2 in 2028, the studio continues to refine the game’s mechanics and narrative, with Vin Diesel’s involvement playing a crucial role in shaping the storyline. Stay tuned for updates on this highly anticipated sequel as more information becomes available.
