No more details have been released as of yet regarding the next patch or even when it is scheduled to go live. However as a console game this is a big step for the fans, seeing as it has been a highly requested update
Ark Aquatica is the first official DLC to tell a non-canonical mythical story, expanding the ARK universe into new dimensions of survival.

Speaking with Game Rant, Ark director Jeremy Stieglitz outlines the approaches taken to adapting the game's plot for the animated series.

Studio Wildcard has launched a 'major' update for ARK: Survival Evolved's modding software, ARK Development Kit, available now.
I'm looking forward to playing this in splitscreen and VR. I wonder if you can do both, as in one person using VR while the other person plays on your TV/Monitor.
split screen? The game has some major issues with framerate, split screen is the last thing you want to be offering at this time..
If this game gets splitscreener in the state it is (frame rate wise) then every other developer has 0 excuse now to not have split screen in their game if the fans want it.
