Studio Wildcard has made a surprise announcement at GDC 2018 and confirmed that ARK: Survival Evolved will launch for the Nintendo Switch.
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.
They have had like 18 months to perfect it on Switch so loo
Probably because it runs at 360p and with much less animal life.. That's the only way for an open world game to run ok on Switch, especially considering its cpu is worse than every other console and open world games stress the cpu.
Honestly i want all my games on switch compromises and all.
