Forgive us if we\u2019re starting to sound like a broken record, but Ark: Survival Ascended<\/a>\u2019s launch on Xbox has been delayed. It\u2019s the third time developer Studio Wildcard has delayed its dinosaur survival game in a month.<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

Earlier this week, Ark: Survival Ascended\u2019s Xbox Series X and S release date was delayed<\/a> just a day before it was due to come out. Developer Studio Wildcard had already delayed the console version<\/u><\/a> following the Steam launch, with the Xbox and Windows PC version set to come out on November 14, and the PlayStation 5 version due out at some point later this month.<\/p>\n

Studio Wildcard had said Ark: Survival Ascended was going through Xbox\u2019s certification process, which caused the delay, but expected the game to launch on Xbox and Windows PC \u201clater this week\u201d. At the time, Ark fans expressed a healthy dose of scepticism about the release window. It turns out they were right to.<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

Today, Studio Wildcard issued another update, this time to delay Ark: Survival Ascended again to \u201cearly next week\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnfortunately, the certification process has yielded some unexpected issues, so we are working with Microsoft to resubmit the build as soon as possible,\u201d Studio Wildcard said in a statement. \u201cWe\u2019re currently targeting Ark: Survival Ascended to launch early next week, and we hope to share a more precise update by the end of the week. We apologise for the added delay, we\u2019re working hard to get it out the door.\u201d<\/p>\n

As you\u2019d expect, fans have expressed just as much healthy scepticism about this latest release window as the last. Will Ark Survival Ascended come out on Xbox early next week? Roll the dice!<\/p>\n
