While Studio Wildcard has some bad news for Ark Survival Ascended players, there’s a gargantuan good news alongside it as well. Ark Survival Ascended players will be able to take on The Gigantoraptor this coming Wednesday, Feb. 28!

This announcement was made by the studio where the devs also confirmed that The Center has to be delayed indefinitely due to it not meeting the studio’s level of quality.

An Update on “The Center” and The Gigantoraptor

“We’ve made the decision to postpone the Center as it wasn’t on track to launch with the level of quality we require. Our dedicated partners – who have been working on the Center while we focus on Scorched Earth – need more time to make sure it meets our expectations, and yours. We’re sorry for this change in plans but we know it will be well worth it when the Center launches!

We’d like to offer something for you to sink your teeth into right now though! The Gigantoraptor, originally intended to debut alongside ‘The Center’, will be released on Wednesday, Feb 28th for all Survivors on The Island. We hope your new majestic companion will keep you company while you wait for its home-map to receive its glow-up. In preparation for Gigantoraptor launch on Wednesday, we’ll be releasing a major version patch on Monday.

Thanks as always for your support. We’re thrilled with what we have in store for ARK: Survival Ascended over the coming months and look forward to sharing it with you. Between the Gigantoraptor next week and Scorched Earth on April 1st, there’s plenty of fresh ARK content heading your way!”

Don’t think of it as a bummer, as you’ll have a new beast to take on in just a few days. Once we know more about The Center, we’ll let our readers know.

In other Ark Survival Ascended news, the studio just released a patch for PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC, which you can read about here.
