Ark 2 was first revealed at The Game Awards in 2020, with a cinematic trailer featuring Vin Diesel punching saurian monsters and unearthing futuristic technology. While the survival sequel was initially announced for release in 2022, developer Studio Wildcard has offered only occasional updates on the game since then, and according to a new interview with the team, that's because they've been "only nibbling" at the project within the past few years.
Wildcard built a "pretty cool vertical slice" of Ark 2 prior to the launch of Survival Ascended, as studio co-founder Jeremy Stieglitz tells PCGamesN, "but we felt that as a team, it would be very difficult to follow that all the way through to a complete game with both our experience level and [our scope] as a company."
