Studio Wildcard has announced that ARK: Survivor Evolved Ultimate Survivor Edition is coming to Nintendo Switch in November. The North American update is expected to launch in early November. Players will see the EU version update “shortly thereafter.” Players who already own the Switch version of the game will receive a free update that will feature all of the improvements coming in the Ultimate Survivor Edition.
The update for Switch improves visual quality and performance, reduces loading times, adds QoL features like a virtual cursor for improved inventory management, and much more. This is the definitive collection on Switch that also includes upcoming patch improvements as well as all expansion packs. Day One will include Scorched Earth; with Aberration, Extinction, and Genesis Parts 1 & 2 coming in subsequent months.
Dinosaur Discovery mode is tailor-made to guide younger players in a kid-friendly, non-violent, dino-facted-filled adventure! It features simplified controls that can be played on a single Joy-Con. Young gamers can learn about real-life dinosaurs and unlock illustrated Dino Books filled with facts narrated by actress Madeline Madden as the voice of HLN-A. Discovery will be offered as a free download for all owners on Switch. A separate downloadable version of the game will also appear on the Nintendo eShop.
