Dinosaur survival game remaster Ark: Survival Ascended will get massive improvements to its development kit this month, letting modders do much more than they can now. Developers Studio Wildcard have also announced a release window and date for delayed expansion maps The Center, by the end of February, and Scorched Earth on April 1st.

This month's update to Ark's development kit will apparently be very extensive, and will "put the power of unbridled game creation directly in your hands." It seems like it'll be some custom version of the Unreal Engine 5 editor, apparently capable of creating "not just ARK mods, but entire custom Unreal Engine games to be made available inside ASA." The developer gives examples of platformers and PvP dinosaur jousting arenas built inside of Ark.
