Ark: Survival Ascended
Summary
Ark : Survival Ascendedand the development team behind the game , Studio Wildcard , are certainly not strangers to controversy over the year . Regardless , the wild popularity of the biz has spawn a massive following and even led to the foundation ofArk : The Animated Serieson Amazon Prime Video . WithASAin full swing and the studio apartment releasing the additional single-valued function and substance that was inASE , one lesser - talked - about argument might at last suck up the last bit of good will the companionship has with its own residential district .
Indeed , with its latest debut on Xbox Game Pass , it ’s likely many do n’t even know the more cozy community details , like the fact thatsome creatures were really create by community penis and submitted as part of a competition . Called the Community Creature Vote , Studio Wildcard lets players submit their theme for creature , with the winning design making it into the plot . In 2023 , in a hotly contested subspecies , Yi Ling , aflyingArktame , was the sixth Creature suffrage winner and was introduced inAberration . This controversy , however , deals with a lose meekness — Maevia Eureka , the jumping wanderer .
Ark : Survival Ascended is a graphic revamp of Survival Evolved using UE5 , but questions of what else has vary are worth exploring .
Paid DLC’s Shoulder Pet Is Heavily “Inspired” By Community Creation
Cosmo Looks Suspiciously Like Maevia Eureka
Maevia Eureka , the colorful neon derail spider , was submitted in 2023 and was create bySoviraon the Ark forums . Along with some beautiful artwork and stats , a full encyclopedia page was built for the raw creature . However , what may be surprising is justhow similar it looks toArk : Survival Ascended ’s brand - new shoulder joint pet , Cosmo , as part of theBob ’s grandiloquent Talespaid DLC , set to free along with the departure ofAberration .
There are a ton of changes that have come to Scorched Earth in ASA , some of which will change the game perpetually and make it worth revisit .
Although not a lineal 1:1 copy , the bright neon coloring would betoken that the design created by Sovira at least slackly inspired the team at Studio Wildcard . Sovriathemselves expressed their dashing hopes at the release of Cosmo , stating on the Ark forum ,

" I want to say the accuracy here , how I genuinely feel about this … I ’m hurt , and I ’m candidly washed-out with attempt to put on this false felicitous face to make everything seem like it ’s perfectly hunky-dory when it ’s not , deeply down it does n’t sense right that a creature I had dreamed of seeing in my absolute best-loved game of all sentence one day , now has a belittled shoulder joint variation of it that has no reference , cite , or anything to refer the obvious aspiration behind it . "
It ’s obvious that the Almighty of Maevia is convinced that their spider is now in the game , albeit tie to a compensate DLC that is notoriously unpopular to players and in a lesser form .
Ark : Survival Ascended is a remastered Survival Evolved in Unreal Engine 5 , and is ask to gradually include all of the original ’s DLC expansion .
The Issue With Cosmo
There Wasn’t A Prize, So Why Does It Matter?
In add-on to taking away any credit and change the creature ’s name entirely , the fact that Cosmo is included in a paid DLC when previously Maevia was part of a free enlargement is one of the annoyance points for the creator . In a later post , they go on to say , " was it okay to apply your fans , when they ’ve poured so much oeuvre into something that originally would ’ve been free or not there at all , take that very work and make it into your own neutered version … and throw it back in their faces with a price tag attach to it . "
In add-on to the price tag link with the creature ’s DLC , the fact that it was downgraded to a shoulder - Light Within pet ( which create its own singular problem ) is another disappointing turn for the jump wanderer .
Bob ’s marvellous Taleshas seen like recoil due to the paid nature of the DLC , as the companionship promised that additional substance fromASEwould be free inASA . And while they are n’t technically lying , as the DLC is entirely " new " content , it ’s obvious why some may feel perturbedby the studio apartment ’s more recent move , especially those playingASAas a holdover forArk 2 . Although Sovria admits that what the company did was " entirely legal , " it ’s still somewhat beat and may keep succeeding God Almighty from submitting their own mental object , or else it may be used in a means they did n’t intend .
Indeed , Studio Wildcard and their parent fellowship , Snail Games USA , have been facing serious issues as of previous , as theirstock price has yen around 81 cents , shy of the $ 1 lower limit required to keep them listed on the Nasdaq . Though they ’re pull out all the stops with amildly receivedPower Rangerscrossover , other decision like the pannedBob ’s Tall Talescould be signaling for things to come . This latest move essentially rebrands or at least is heavily breathe in by a losing entry , and repurposing it for a pay DLC is a move that wo n’t be expect at positively by the community .
