Latest ARK News and Updates

Second update: The patch has been delayed one day, and is now scheduled for Friday, March 31. Update: Here's a peek at the new menu, via Jeremy Stieglitz on Twitter (you can enlarge the image by clicking the top right corner for a better look): Original story: I've chosen a picture of one of Ark: Survival Evolved's giant snails for this particular news story. That's because Ark's next patch, v256, will among other things apparently provide a long, long, long overdue 'total inventory menu redesign' according to recently added notes to the Steam discussion post and this tweet from Studio Wildcard's Jeremy Stieglitz: Seriously, Ark's menus and UI are kind of the pits, and while I understand Early Access provides games in an unfinished state and while I'm sure there were bigger coelacanth to fry during the development process, a redesign of the menu is quite welcome, late as it may be. Hence, the snail. Snails are slow. For the record, here's a list of what else planned for the update, which is (now) estimated to reach us on Friday, March 31: * Total Inventory Menu redesign; * Total Inventory Menu redesign; * Total Inventory Menu redesign; * Total Inventory Menu redesign; * Total Inventory Menu redesign; * Total Inventory Menu redesign; * Total Inventory Menu redesign; Ho ho.  Just kidding.
