Initial release history article (2026-04-22)
ARK 2's release window has moved multiple times since the game was first announced.
Year | Target |
|---|---|
2020 | Announcement with a 2023 launch in view |
Later | Pushed to a 2024 Early Access release |
2026 | Publicly moved to a 2028 launch by Studio Wildcard co-founder Jeremy Stieglitz |
The delays are not just a scheduling footnote; they have reshaped the project. The Legacy of Santiago expansion exists specifically because the new combat system needs more live-testing time. Vin Diesel's ongoing involvement as Santiago has also become uncertain over the gap.
