Ark Genesis Part 2 Release Time Confirmed
June 3, 1PM BST: Another update from Dollie the Product Manager on ARK.
So it sounds like it might be rolling out for some, potentially in a few territories, but not all. We'll keep our eyes peeled.
We've also just remembered that David Tennant provides the voice for Sir Edmund Rockwell. The hype train has well and truly left the station.
More to follow.
June 3, 2AM BST: Finally an update from the team. As expected the release has been delayed, but only by a few more hours. Writing on Twitter, the team said:
For those wondering, that's a simultaneous release on PC and Console at the same time, which should arrive by 1PM BST for those in the UK.
The games Community Manager also relayed the news (side note: be nice to your Community Managers, please).
June 2, 2PM BST: and we're still waiting for the launch of ARK Genesis Part 2.
The only official details we can find is a message from the games Product Manager (@NotDollie) on ARK. Writing on Twitter, she said:
But this was 12:19 am and so far there's been no further details from Cedric (@ComplexMinded) the community manager.
June 2, 8AM BST: The official ARK: Survival Evolved Twitter channel, @survivetheark, still hasn't stated when they'll be releasing the new DLC. Past experience tells us delays at the 11th hour are possible, so be prepared for a long(er) wait than normal for the new Genesis Part 2 content to arrive.
Ark Genesis Part 2 Release Time: When Can You Download on PS4, Xbox and PC?
While Studio Wildcard hasn't revealed exactly when the download will go live, we do expect it to follow a similar release schedule to the game's last DLC, Genesis Part 1.
PC Release Time
On PC, the game is expected to go live at around 6:30 PST - that's 02:30 AM BST.
PS4 Release Time
On PS4, the game is expected to go live at around 6:30 PST - that's 02:30 AM BST.
Xbox Release Time
The game's Xbox DLC launches have been a little different, and Part 1 actually required the Xbox Official network to go down for a short time.
We'd hope that the same won't happen again, but with so many complex moving parts, it's hard to say.
Server Availability
Looking to pick up where you left off? There are sometimes some delays in servers being updated to the latest build of the game. Be patient, and keep an eye on the game's official Twitter account here.
