Recently, Studio Wildcard revealed that the Fjordur expansion map would be available on Sunday, June 12th, which is an odd day for the release of anArkexpansion unless it has some ties with the Xbox showcase and probably new information onArk 2.
It’s been a while since the official announcement ofArk 2back in December 2020. Unfortunately, after the game’s stellar trailer featuring Vin Diesel, we haven’t received anything new from Studio Wildcard on their ambitious sequel toArk Survival Evolved.
Regarding the fact thatArk 2is supposed to be an Xbox Series X|S console exclusive, fans hope they can see a new trailer from the game in the upcoming Xbox showcase. Now, the possibility of this showcase increased even more after Studio Wildcard set the release date for the next expansion ofArk Survival EvolvedforJune 12.
This Is the First Time Ever That an Ark Map Expansion Is Launching on a Weekend Day
Looking back to previousArk Survival Evolvedmap expansions, none has been launched on a weekend day so far. Studio Wildcard usually targets Tuesdays or Thursdays for its release date of map expansions, which makes the release date of Fjordur a little bit suspicious.
We will likely get a brief teaser for Fjordur’s launch during the Xbox and Bethesda showcase on June 12. Still, we know that it is not exciting enough for a big showcase unless Studio Wildcard reveals that it is not compelling enough for some new footage fromArk 2as well.
Of course, you should take this with a grain of salt, but we can all agree that the timing for the launch of Fjordur has something to do with the Xbox showcase rather than being completely random.
Ark Survival Evolvedis now available on PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Stadia, and PC. Additionally, the game is available on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S through backward compatibility.
