Studio Wildcard admitted through a Steam community announcement that the original engine upgrade plan of "Ark: Survival Evolution" will be postponed to avoid new failures when fixing existing problems in "Summer Ocean" DLC.
A series of technical difficulties
Refrigeration cabin backhaul crisis: patches launched to resolve bio/ship disappearance bugs, which have been urgently withdrawn due to surge in archive read time
Priority fix list: core issues such as FPS optimization/map loading/module compatibility/server stability
Temporary solution: Players can continue to use "preaquatica" to test branches to experience relatively stable versions
Key updates to 360.7 patches:
Battle Balance: Fixed the bug where Mosasaurs ranged attacks took effect on immune targets
Weapon adjustment: weakens Terras rifle imbalance damage
Biological Ecology: Increase Alpha Cancer Monster Generation Points
TEK Technology: Added 12 cutting-edge equipment including Tektronix Sword/Tek Rifle/Clone Cabinet
As the 10th anniversary DLC, "Water World" has suffered a Waterloo since its release on July 15, 2025:
· Steam received more than 1,400 reviews, with a positive review rate of only 23%.
·New settings focusing on full underwater survival experience and mythological narrative
·The design of the special family-friendly novices area has been criticized by core players
The development team emphasized that the development of "Ark 2" will not be affected, and the remake of the series "Ark: Survival Ascension" and "Ark Park" will continue to operate.
