Studio Wildcard has detailed the next Ark: Survival Evolved update for PS4 and Xbox One, confirming the latest patch will implement a bevy of new content, such as Aquatic & Amphibious Creature Breeding, plus new dinosaurs, structures, and a revamped inventory menu.
Jeremy Stieglitz, the co-founder of Studio Wildcard, observed that while the update is scheduled to roll out on April 24, the target date is a “bit complicated cause we need to ensure new UI works nicely for console [before] releasing.”
