For those of you watching this video now, the revamp has been pushed back to tentatively June of 2024 as of the latest update. Fingers crossed the delay means a smoother launch for us all!

[@Raiden-df6ke]

Thank you I almost lost all my hype when I found out this was 8 months ago.Then I saw your comment and got a relief😊.

[@Expyrnce_12]

Hey iguana is the update 3.0? and will they fix the Fps issues?

[@islamsiraph2099]

Its almost 10mo sins that notified.

[@FlipTHEclipAnimations]

​@@Expyrnce_12 no, this revamp is a complete different game. It's a switch codebase and it's not a continuing project, they remade the whole game.

[@Expyrnce_12]

@@FlipTHEclipAnimations so? like different Game and Game engine that runs better than the current ark mobile engine?

[@Itsmarzngard]

_it's been 84 years..._ jokes aside, it's nice to see that despite the ~8 month hiatus on normal video uploads, the quality didn't drop at all and seems to have even improved. This is definitely a long awaited and deserving upgrade for ark mobile, since the original does indeed suffer from many bugs and stuff. However this indeed could be quite challenging for many people, since it definitely mean that a more powerful device is required, which means the need to get a more expansive phone which isn't exactly as simple as going to the local grocery store and pick up a carton of milk. Also I wonder if micro raptors would be added from this update, cause its great either way.

Took them 4 years and a failed GTA remaster to finally acknowledge ARK😭

[@LostHope84]

It’s not their decision, it’s Wildcards. And they had them working on the switch version, which is the entire reason this revamp is happening.

[@lt.langle]

Ark mobile I just started playing this year. I'm excited this game is great and mobile gaming is on the rise.

[@badinfluenceforchildren7777]

@@LostHope84 Since I didn't own a switch I pretty much dont know that but still, that GTA remaster and lack of update on ark mobile left a mark on their company.

Since when does gta have anything to do with studio wildcard

[@LurkingSpider420]

@@owene2530 it’s not wildcard, GTA trilogy was ported by GroveStreet Games, a side company of Wildcard They bombed that GTA port so bad and have completely neglected ARK mobile, it’s surprising they’re going back on it now

[@scottdonohue3379]

Love Ark mobile and have since I first played it, but this announcement definitely has me hyped up. Can’t wait to see what they do with it. It will be very cool to finally have more maps for mobile. I already think it’s one of the best mobile survival games out there and this is going to really push it forward. Thanks Iggy! You, Zen and the puppers have a great day/ week!

[@oldben6086]

I hear ya brother Scott! Some new content to regenerate interest will be phenomenal! As a side note, thinking about running the last cave today…if the wife gives me enough time! Catch you in game!

[@danzenshisui4215]

Have you seen the version of ark on Nintendo switch? I've always said if they can put so much content on a slow console they MUST put it on mobile too

[@cdmongirl7386]

Hi Iggy this is soooo good news ! When I heared that from you some weeks ago, I was so excited! And I’m still am! Hopefully the old progress is save, but if not, I will start a new game on Ragnarok . Having no PC it is not possible to play on my favourite map. It will change everything! Thank you for telling us this georgeous news and let’s hope all the best. Maybe we are able to use mods like s+ etc? Or stacking mods? Would love that! Greetings from Germany 😘🎉🍾🤗

[@meike0662]

this is incredible!! im so excited!! im still playing ark mobile but this announcement is getting me way more excited to play again/play more, theres so many things and possibilities this could bring us. very thankful they arent letting this game die. also iggy love to see you back making a video!

[@ivanplays755]

Lag and storage issues gonna skyrocket fr

[@plagiarism7002]

I'm so excited for this!! My sister an I just got top of the line iPads "for school" a few months ago and she has already put hundreds of hours into Ark mobile, I cant wait to tell her about this! Thanks Iggy!! I would personally like to see it be a one time purchase base game (maybe like 15-20 bucks? cause then you can play the non-canon maps too, and the DLC maps for like oh idk 2-5 bucks a piece) like Ark on PC with the canon DLCs being the same because I am very much against micro transactions for small unlocks to exclusive/hard to reach content (Griffins and the gold crown, kibble & saddle crafting stations, etc) I would also like to see the dungeons removed, and the canon style bosses added, just personal preference.

[@youtubewatcher2640]

Yeah no mobile games don’t usually cost that much if it did I don’t think it would do well

[@i.g.n2trip684]

I’d be happy and very surprised if they sort the game out.. can’t play 30min without running into hackers/ cheaters/ meshers

[@Accountnolongerinuse]

I hope it doesn’t mean we lose our progress or accessibility to our previous ark mobile data. I doubt they’ll make a way to transfer saved data over to the new game

[@sparrowtail21]

Fingers crossed we finally get settings - imagine breeding in solo not taking you a year for 2 mutations

Scary but exciting ... Free to play fears but hard to believe that cost on old content on other platforms can charge a high price ... Stopped playing alittle while ago and look forward to a fresh start .... *loads longneck rifle

[@KingTerrick]

It’s ark it will get delayed sadly but like you said it’s the way it has to go we can’t stop that

[@Gh0sty-_-]

Tbh the things I want is Commands The Pc Breeding System: we all hate spending 5 minutes on breeding and not timing it correctly and having to restart Settings like changing the harvest rate without being on hardcore or I guess other settings too

[@FireKing717]

since I started playing ark, you are the only one I am watching and giving me the motive to continue, thx a lot for everything that you did for us and hope that the new update is great and soon, and it would be great if you do another *Updated* beginner guide series for us, I really loved them. everyone like if you agree with me and want Iguana to see this!!!

[@kevinbowers4921]

I bought a new phone, a 2022 Motorola Edge plus, and it's not compatible, so I can't play, been sad about that, then you bring me news about a revamp, thanks, hopefully I will be able to play again

[@SuperSenior998]

Watching this video is so nostalgic because I used to watch your videos as a little kid and I loved your videos when I was younger because I played ark mobile a lot because I never had access to actual ark when I was younger.

[@Pandope616]

Some og players have waited for this news to finally come, and it came thank you wildcard.

[@kathyefranklin]

Agreed!! This is awesome

[@GtubeYT]

let's just say we'll get a trailer in june on ark mobile's anniversary? If we would get one it'll clearly mean we're going to get the revamp this yr now! And if we won't get the trailer then it'll mean revamp getting delayed fr lol perhaps we can just hope that the ark mobile revamp will have the same store layout really loved the in game store but I'm worried about what would happen to our arketypes? i mean rough idea it'll all go in vain lol i just hope we'll get some sort of compensation or something

[@gecko-saurus]

I think its a 8/10 chance that the revamped product will be postponed until next year at the least. After all, if it was coming out in the next 6 to 8 months, we would expect to hear more about it, like a trailer or something. It is possible however, that the coming if ARK 2, The Animated Series, and Survival Ascended is occupying the current announcements and focus of the team. The paragraph mentioned "mobile-specific changes". While it is unlikely that this is refering to the Amber store and Dungeons, it is possible that it will be included in the revamp. The changes could instead refer to the graphics, of course, a Mobile-only map (as anticipated by many), or something we don't expect. I would also like to bring up the question about whether the non-canon DLC Fjordur will be included. The Fjordur map is, as you know, has an extremely large amount of content, even for PC/consol. They said they would add ALL the official PC maps, so that implies that the will feature it. They may make changes to the size of the map, as a map as such would cause lag and issues for even the most powerful mobile devices. Another question is cost. As with most mobile adaptations of PC games, ARK Mobile is free, has less content, but a unique "premium currency" for special items and skins not found on PC. This could go either way. I speculate that the base game will be free as well as the Community DLCs, while the expansions would be set at a price.

Im so excited Iggy thank you for making this video❤

HOW DID I NOT KNOW

[@FiFiTheFish]

[@rednax4322]

id like to imagine the people made multiple versions of the ark and mobile and pc is like that its same map but recreated. that would be cool but idk

[@ImACono]

Thanks for the surprise News Iguana!

[@Riftblade_1]

I remember my first time playing ark mobile in the first week the game came out, slowly progressing through this dinosaur survival game and as i learned the basics and such i also learned the game has a great community（mostly) and content creators where i started watching them as a habit like iguana,schwalb, kamz, megalo and even more and then i tried pvp and then was when i found what i would be doing for the next 4 years if my life i found nee tribe-mates which soon became great long term friends and had a lot of fun with them.but as the hackers started to come out i quit for a couple months as it was too stressful to deal with them and now that i heared of the revamp i will come back to ark mobile in pve so i can get a grasp for the game again.😊😊I hope they can recover the game and finally give it the justice it deserves.

[@Boxers769]

Honestly I be happy for no more dungeons. I would love to actually use my bred Dino’s for the end games

[@owene2530]

I have been bored with ark mobile for a while. This might bring me back to the game

[@Boxers769]

Highly doubt ark mobile will be free once revamp happens. It’s one of few ways they can stop hackers from making alt accounts so once hacker is banned they are banned. Hackers will have to repurchase the game to make an alt account.

[@Boxers769]

I just be happy if revamp can stop me from lagging rubber ban freezing and crashing frequently

[@tlinaung6958]

I'll definitely buy a new phone to be able to play that!

[@GOFFY_ME]

Let's goo ark mobile 😭😭 how long I've waited for this😭😭 I play this since early access 😭😭 I can't wait to come and play ark mobile again ❤❤

[@gecko-saurus]

The lore isn't completely different between Mobile and PC. Mobile simply added a new character (Rockwell's neice). The dungeons can also be explained. It is possible that the Dungeons and the Guardian Arenas could coexist.

[@xenithsanguine]

I'll believe it when I see it. Would love to see it. Might actually have to get a Switch if it does happen.

I started playing on late 2018 on mobile quit after 3 yrs. I still have my multiplayer account and I started playing again just in single player for nostalgia. It's great that they give attention to mobile now weve been imprisoned in the island since the port. But ofcourse. Newer features and maps = higher phone processor. Iand I highly doubt that they can optimize it. Like come on. The force app close is still on the mobile up to this day. I'll guess well see when it's out.

Pc players complaining about new ark 2 and maps. Ark mobile players playing the same map for years. Now it’s just a joke that came on my mind but now serious. It’s sad what will happen on pc even people came with suggestion that wildcard studios doesn’t even have ark 2 prepared. Yesterday I saw a video of a guy visiting official servers and it touch my heart when he met even a family and kids playing it, and even a 50 years old woman talking that she loves to play this. 😢 I hope the studio can give them a another solution so they don’t loose their community same as give something for the mobile players. ❤
