Nintendo’s one-year-old Switch is starting to pick up more and more online titles as it matures and gains in popularity, and its latest coup is in securing the popular ARK: Survival Evolved for the platform.
Studio Wildcard announced that it will be bringing ARK to the Switch this fall as both a retail and digital product. The Switch version promises to host all of the content and animals that exist on other platforms. And it sounds as if the studio is taking advantage of the unique hardware: “With this new version, Switch players can go directly from hunting and taming while sitting on the couch, to forming online tribes and searching out new conquests when on the bus, waiting in line, or wherever they happen to be,” said Lead Designer Jeremy Stieglitz.
Meanwhile in the current PC version, ARK has updated to Patch v279, which comes with visual upgrades to six of the creatures (including the Raptor and Triceratops). This update will arrive on consoles in mid-April.
