Ark Aquatica release date confirmed as ASE braces for its exclusive expansion
With all attention on its Unreal Engine 5 remaster and its official servers switched off for good, Ark fans never thought they'd see an original expansion in Ark Survival Evolved again. However, to celebrate the series' tenth birthday, ASE is back in the spotlight with Ark Aquatica. While its AI-generated reveal trailer caused some backlash, it looks to be a mightily impressive expansion to Survival Evolved, which will have its official servers reinstated just for the occasion. Now, Snail Games has locked in an Ark Aquatica release date, and you don't have long to wait at all - you'll be able to head beneath the waves next week on Tuesday, July 15.
