Today? 
Today
Right now
Today
I wish we had an update on this, been months now
we got an update: they're still looking for a platform so it can be put out for release. not much they can talk about when that's the only thing left untill it's out is it?
Yaaass
Pretty much
Who said this?
some community crunches it was mentioned in recently and Dollie (arks product manager)

Dollie herself

Friday
Today
I heard it will release February the 30th

This is still planned right?
Thursday
Yes it is still planned for today
You know it
Probably sometime next year
It is a pretty hard call to make, but it will probably be Netflix
Seems like the most likely streaming platform to be put on.
Today
I’m not even hyped for this anymore
Today
## Today
Would be the best thing they could do
But I doubt it

It really wouldn't, screw Netflix
With their regional hidden content bullshit and their password sharing garbage and price hikes
Prime Video or Hulu all the way
Thursday
Hulu price hiking next month, again.
So, a question. I found the server backup for the island I was on, and downloaded it to downloads. But from there, where should it go, to be added to the client?
Seeing as prime video just took on hazbin hotel. that seems to be the most logical choice, as they seem to open to other franchises atm.
Atm
hopefully not netflix they seem to cancel all the good shows
just out of curiousity for lore sake i watched the trailer for the first time and really hope this gets released soon I'd really enjoy it.
We’ve been hoping it releases soon for like 2 years
We won't have to wait long into 2023 though!
Tomorrow /j /ref
Today
it released like 2hrs ago on eva
...wait what?
You did not just fall for that!
Tomorrow
It shouldn't be that difficult to find a Streaming service.
depends on the terms they're looking for
`'í'm a expert and Wildcard are dummies 101'' 
Regardless of what's Saud I'm still of the opinion that at least part of it is postponing til Asa is out to draw people to the game. I may be wrong but it's just my thoughts I mean if it draws a huge crowd their gonna go buy Ase right now if their not up to date on everything vs waiting til the new versions out where any new comers you draw will buy the remake.
I do think that makes sense as well, it's not just you
But with the strikes and such, it could be any number of things as well as that
Overlord r a good animes and he's allready hère 🤷
At this point I just think nobody wants to stream it.
When is it coming out?
I think last they said was end of 2023 would put us into season 2. But uh, yeah.
They should just post it on Youtube

When is it coming out?
when they secure a streaming platform deal
Yes so they wont earn money from it and cant continue making seasons
You can earn money from youtube
not alot
You can gain thousands and thousands
There is buy to view content on Youtube, it's not even like a well hidden secret, so idk why so many people think it'd be hard for any reason other than the fact that there's likely a negotiation that has to take place there too regarding price which would also take time and could be rejected on both ends
They probably just announced it to early
Nothing compared to a platform buying your series im afraid


Thursday

Yesterday
Tuesday
Yes but some shows started on youtube and later got picked up by another service. Kobra kai was a youtube show at first, video game high school as well and both are netflix shows now with kobra kai being super popular. Sure a youtube show isnt the greatest idea but its possible to use it as a starting platform.
That is possible but i highly doubt that
What happened to this bro, Its been 9 months since the trailer came out
Read the announcements and/or pins bro
So when it coming out
You'd know if you read the pins
The latest info we have is right there, I don't know what else to tell you, not being an ass if you're asking an easily discoverable question



ngl you do sound aggressive towards his questions 
not... to be... an ass... or anything...
ah shit...
He’s a rude dude
You have no idea how many times this question has been asked for either asa or ark 2 or the animated series after several years of seeing it asked some levels of irritation may occur, of course you could just not answer the question but thats harder for some people
Today
Thursday
Just tired of answering the same damn question, day in, day out, when the answer is literally right there if you have eyes (apologies if you don't, I never could have prepared for that tbh and shouldn't be faulted for it as I can't see your face through the internet/text). Nothing rude or aggressive about it, just wish people would share the braincell every now and then
don't expect people to look up their own answers
I will continue to do so, even though I know this playerbase is the equivalent of a bunch of preschoolers in the reading department
I just can't help hoping people have more than 2 braincells, it's in my nature to do so
I think very highly of humans even when they don't deserve it and I can't stop myself
I'm like an anti-doomer
I cant find it😔
Cause it isn't out yet
You might have an overly high opinion of yourself tbh

ETA?
When is the ark animated series coming out
10 seconds
never just fake hype arround it just like asa feel like getting ripped off
Really
I don’t feel I’m getting ripped off with ASA. But the complete lack of anything Animated Series related makes me feel the show is terrible and nobody wants to stream it.
there will be a series but as we know wildcard it taking years
i just feel like it like dang still no trailer or ingame leaks and its ''should" come this month
They do trailer really late tho
Like iirc the gen 2 trailer came out like the same day as it launched
i wonder if one they they will say oh sorry this show i delayed yet again
i feel like with asa they'll release the island. then release every map they finish polishing throughout the year as an update with all the creatures.
Which gives people a chance to experience each map for a decent amount of time if they release them individually


Thursday 
Today
Wa?
that's real
Today
I think I’ve read everyday for the past 4 days that dollie or another dev has confirmed that they are still planning on releasing the game in october. Why are people still doubting? Also, I think that they have to make it public on steam by the 18th if they want to release the game by the 31st. So my guess is this friday we get some big news on the cc. Thoughts?
You must be new here lol
Y do u say that?
Optimism is frowned upon here. Don't be coming in here with your high expectations and hopes!


Today
this is so true though
Thursday
Today
Ark gave themselves the reputation of not meeting deadlines they've claimed before they were on track only to delay day of release that'd why people keep saying it won't come. The today thing is an ongoing joke about series release ignore it
The animated series seems like a myth like the Tek wyvern saddle we never seen 😂 or was voids ur answer to that
Today
Bait used to be believable 
So did WildCards word.
i thought i could trust you, so why in bloody hell does Lotus know you? /j
sad no animated series
I haven't kept track, is there any news yet or the animated series or is wildcards focus mainly ASA for the time being 🤔
I just want to know when the live demo will be released
Today
in precisely 23.17 hours
both are a big focus, it's just the fact they only need to get a distribution deal to be able to launch the series with that keeping it from being released.
so the only news we could get is when they get a distribution deal for the animated series to be out publicly
Today
Thursday
Today
This is never coming out
Maybe we get something about this in crunch?
Wouldn't get my hopes up 🥹

If you ask me they should get some one that know what they are doing then

Just a reminder, the writers strike is still being resolved, the animated series as I understand is funded by the awesome dev team not wildcard studios, this means that they have the choice to postpone the release of the animated series if they want in support of said strike (agreement has been reached in writers strike but not fully signed off afaik)
Writers strike would have also meant that they are basically having to start over with negotiating with platforming services (any active negotiations wouldve undermined the strike, but can resume now that everything is almost resolved)
Or…. Its just ark devs pulling an ark dev and being fashionably late
Well, as I've always said, Thursday.

Or they overestimated the interest in it and are asking too much money , being that they paid so much for the insane casting
given the writers strike I doubt that is it
content has never been in higher demand
They announced the animated series back in 2021 when we found out about Ark II yea? I don't think the writer strike should've affected it that much. They already had concept art going. Unless they completely rewrote the script when they saw how fans are reacting to Marvel and Disney's stuff lately.
Production of season 1 is done, they just need to secure a platform to release it. there might've been a platform deal made before wich might've fallen trough, wich may have forced Wildcard to get back into negotiations for securing a new platform compared to their potential previous deal. and negotiations of this size do take some time as dollie said
I believe they stated they have two seasons done
pretty sure they only said season 1 is done with season 2 having been slated for basically now, so season 2 was getting close to also being done
They mentioned in the Community Crunch 6 Months ago that the 14 episodes from season one are now in there post-production phase (VFX, Music, Sound and co) so till know, there is no official news that the series is finished and ready for a streaming platform.
And when it comes to finding a streaming platform, then they of course want to get a good deal, also lots of money from that plattform. I think with the reputation ARK got in the last few months its probably not the best time to make such a deal, i guess they start negotiations with these streaming platforms after release of ASA and plan the lunch of the series shortly before ARK 2 gets released in order to build up some hype for its release.
the writer's strike may have set things back
and now they have to renegotiate terms
No, i asked dollie a while ago and she said season one AND two were done but they were still waiting for a platform. i really think the show should be released on Prime video or Hulu because those two have other shows that are similarly made.
ohh okey, thats surprising news.
I actually hope for Netflix or Disney+ since i would have to use a VPN to get access to Prime 🥲
im hoping for not netflix because i have an account and it keeps being wonky sense the password sharing bit
but i wont be too upset if it is there
i just hope its on a platform i have in general so i watch it legally
Yeah at this point season 3 might be done since when I asked her and she said 2 was finished was over 3 months ago. I can see Netflix maybe getting it, but with how many people are leaving because of the account linking restrictions I doubt it. Definitely wouldn’t be Disney plus because they having the series is essentially having rights to the game as well in terms of the way contracts work. If Disney gets the series, they also have a say in what happens in game and the company. Unlike Hulu or Prime Video. And I think that if the show isn’t released before 2024 then they’re gonna say “fck it” and just upload the series on YouTube like helluva Boss did.
i would agree with that for the most part but i will say netflix is still on the table as it has sadly had a uptick in account making sense password sharing annoyances
and they are obviously ok with shows based on games
with Arcane and Cyberpunk Edgerunners

someone knows when the animated series is launching?
cause i think It has been finished for a while, at least the first season
Kind of wish they'll just go ahead and release at least the pilot on like YouTube or something so we'll have something to watch and get a taste of what's to come
last we heard they were looking for a distributor platform
that likely got delayed by the writers strike and now they need to restart
Had no idea there was a writer strike whatever that means
the union for writers in media went on strike for various things. essentially hammering out terms for better pay and not replacing them with ai script writing software
Yeah I looked it up and that's kind of fucked up I feel like the human mind is better at being creative then AI I hope the strike goes well but Jesus it is crazy what rich people do just to save money
Indeed it is

boa


Any news?
Nope

Today
hows ark the animated season? worth watching? 🤣


It's all about Bob

bob is the only character
Where 

My fav character is bob, lets hope he doesn't get killed in the first episode.
Bob is actually the overseer
I have like no clue what's going on with this show, is it out yet?
Production of season 1 is done, they just need to secure a platform to release it. there might've been a platform deal made before wich might've fallen trough, wich may have forced Wildcard to get back into negotiations for securing a new platform compared to their potential previous deal. and negotiations of this size do take some time as dollie said
Okay thank you I stopped checking up on ark for a while so I didn't know if it was finally out
Today

Where can i watch the series?
Thursday
But where?
The biggest platforms
Nowhere yet and no date yet.

Is it actually coming out Thursday?

No
Do you know when? I've been waiting literally forever
we've just taken to saying random days because we've had no updates in months
really not a lot to do until it comes out
No date, they have not found a platform yet. Pinned messages here will be updated with any info.
Oh that's right
Thanks
If the quality of ASA is as good as it appears why couldn’t they use it to make the tv series? Or are they planing on having lesser quality more abstract tv series? Content creators will likely be able to record and publish mini movies using ASA to rival the tv series.
The animated series is not Wildcard, it is just a few people from the studio and others, and only loosely follows the lore of the games. The animated series information is in the pinned messages.

I hope it comes out soon because I am dying to see it
will probably die before it releases then 😔
The TV series is not using ase assets lol
Is there like a release date on the animated series?
Not yet. They're looking for a platform. Any news will be pinned here 
Suhweet, thanks for letting me know!

Thursday
They have beed looking for a platform for well over a month
I cannot change that.
Thursday
Saturday
Today
man im waiting for this thing to come out since forever
@oak brook is Karl Urban cool?
@cunning onyx
Yes?
Na they didn't
They have not found a platform, it is not canceled. All news is pinned in this channel when we receive updates, whether it is from devs, #announcements, or #766826918803800074.



Thursday
Thriday
Why do they not just have it stream from their website for now. We need something!
Today
How about just upload it on Youtube and link it on the official site? Nah, forget it.

Today
I love that people don't just read back alittle in history and beewitched has had to repeat herself every few messages because if people's laziness lol
Beewitched can you repeat that one more time scrolling is hard 😮💨
one of these days dude, one of these days.
Today is that day
Today
as much as i hate bezos, they should just drop it to prime since it is more widely accessible for everyone
I don't know why I don't just have a copy and pasteable text wall this at this point, but;
Youtube has paid movies on it.
You can watch all kinds of things, like Forrest Gump, the new Ghostbusters movie, Scream 6, Interstellar, etc.
So please stop saying that Youtube isn't viable, it is, they just haven't got a streaming service worked out yet, nothing more nothing less. Oh, and yes those movies and/or shows (there is shows as well) have no ads, because you pay to either rent them or buy them.
how much of a cut does youtube take tho
No idea, probably too much seeing as they haven't come out announcing a deal with them 😅
Is the Ark Animated Series out so I can watch it? I'm not in progress about it.
theyre working out a streaming platform
Okay, thanks
YouTube Premium and ad blockers exist. Easy workaround
Are u streamer.


Today
devs forgot this existed
lol
Different art styles. ASA is going to be realistic. The animated series is going to be animated. Artistic style almost reminds me of Avatar series.
Plus one's a game and one's a cartoon series
They are fighting’s the ad blockers rn
🥺
also one is made by wildcard and one is made by people who work at wildcard
One has far cuter dodos too
or
?
woah now that's dollies 1:1 recreation of the ASA dodo


Still nothing on this hm?
well, the series actually got a mention in a cc
as a part of a screenshot from the wiki lol
link?
All TAS info is in pins here
when is the relase date ?

we don't know
Ark 2's release date




Hey all any news on the animated series? I thought production fished a while ago, how can it be this hard to find a streaming platform?



When’s this trailer dropping
Pretty sure there is already a trailer
For ark 1.5?
Oh we were in the animated series chat so I thought thats what u were talking about
Why is this even a channel still?

Nope







Де гра, альо

I was today years old when I learned there will be an Animated Series. Do we know when it will air? And where/on what platform?
Tomorrow
Soon™
We do not know either yet.
last we heard they were trying to find a host service for the series, and with the writer's strike that may have been held up if not restarted entirely




still no ETA right?

guys when is release date
No one knows
thank you, (ly)
release date will probably be known once they close a deal for a streaming platform
Thursday
Am I the only one that cares about the animated series more than ASA???
I can't wait for the series@light scarab
Wasn't it supposed to be on Netflix though
No platform was ever publicly shared
Hard to be excited when theres been no significant visible progress being made towards release - plenty of people are excited to see it and hopefully we will soon someday
When easter and christmas will be on the same day 😎 so you only need a curve of space than it will be released. But if you are in the wrong dimension at that point of time you will miss it
Would it have been better if they made a live action series with non-story characters as the main cast?


This here is the name of a true fan lol
But his profile pic doesn't have any dinos on it 😱



I'm gonna choose to be bobo the clown and make a hail mary wish that the Ark Animated Series will get a release announcement tomorrow with the update in the announcements.
I 99.9999999% do not expect it to happen.
but if I am right I am amazing.
You are very hopeful
Uh, i really don't see the animated series coming any time soon...
it's just in a cryo for a lil bit whilst we focus on ASA
from dollie
Today
did any news come up for the animated series along with the trailer?
when?
when?
No, there were no news on the animated
someone playing with a rx6750xt?
is bro trollign
Animated series got put on ice to focus on ASA...because a series animation team is the same as a game development team somehow and that somehow hampers progress. My brain hurts trying to jump these Wildcard hoops fr.
Well hopefully it releases soon, it would make since.
If I ran wild card, I would release the game, and then a month later release the series. It would help promote the game, and get more sales.
Where did you get this information from? The show has been done for over half a year, they just need a platform like HBO or Netflix to come to a deal with them.
no
they ran out of money to fund the project, ASA was pushed to get as much funds as possible for both the series and ark 2
I mean ... I care 🥹
I'm super excited to see it when it comes!
Didn’t like some of the animations get leaked or something
I've heard that but I haven't seen the leaks personally
What? 😂
The series is being funded by Dollie and a few others out of pocket, it's already paid and at least the first season done
Wait really? That is absolutely not at all how ive heard about the situation.
Well, you heard wrong 😂
Dollie said herself a few months ago
you'd think they'd post a pilot or extended trailer to garner interest if they're really looking for a platform to pick them up
Today
I'm very excited to hear the whole cast in character I know we've heard a decent bit of David Tennant as Rockwell
Today
is the animated series even out yet?
Nope, still trying to strike a deal with a platform to stream it
They need to stop trying to get platforms like apple, hulu, ect, and look at something like Crunchyroll or HiDive or another anime service.
But it's not an anime..
lol
when this comimg out
Never probably
Still no news for the animated series I thought they said they were done with season 1 and where working on season 2?
They have, they are looking for an streaming service to host the series. But with the start of ASA's development, they pretty much put the other projects on hold AFAIK. Whenever ASA stabilizes, the other stuff might resume development.

Thursday
I wonder if it's actually gonna be good when it comes out. I'm gonna be pissed if it comes out even as 5 or 6/10 just because of how long we've waited
Soooooo when the series comin out?????
when they secure a streaming site deal, that's the only thing left for it to come out
What in the hell happened with the ark animated series
they are still looking for a streaming site and dollie said it's currently on pause while they focus on asa

mb sory
once again returning too beg for david tennant

Do we know when it will be realeased yet?
cant wait for ark the animated series set to release in 2030
Today.....
Last we heard they were trying to find a streaming service. that was before the writer's strike so likely that process has been delayed or restarted
I’ve always though that the stories behind the explorer notes deserved a much more front and center attention than what they get in the game…
I seriously hope they are able to find a streaming service in decent time.
Do we know how much each season will cover by any chance, I’m assuming it’s a sort of map per season thing. Also will it ever include anything genesis since that takes place so long after the original events on the ARKs, my guess is no but I’m curious.
iirc they've said 2 seasons have been done?
That’s what I saw too… wonder if that means they’ve got the story down following through the island and scorched earth, or if it’s on a different track for what a full season entails. Either way my hype for the show refuses to ease up lol.

what is taming rate on SMALL tribes??
Today
Probably not
tommorow
yesterday
Hi
when release
idk prolly not today

Release today pleaae
Today
They got 2 months to release it if they aint im just gonna propose it’s cancelled
it's put on pause while they focus on asa atm
Today
Makes sense. considering the, uh. Behavior of a lot of people regarding ASA's performance, I do not blame them.
I don't think theirs a pause while ASA goes on should be completely different teams, if anything dropping it with ASA would help make a large cross promotion between the two, so HOPING it drops near the console drop.
I reaaly hope this series comes out. The Ark theme music is so epic, same for the story - watching those parts come together in the animated series would be so awesome. I'm wishing for this so much!

Bro they need to find someone to host the show already
Just do youtube if nothign works lol
Sorry for going off-topic but...
When will the animated series Episode 1 launch?
No one know....
Today
I forgot about the animated series its been so long since they announced it.
Ikr
Ikr
They should just go to a place and say, “ people on island go ooga booga and dinosaurs fight” I’m telling you they will get a 100% rate with this tactic
Yes
Here Bob 
At this rate they gonna be finished with season 13 before they can find someone to have it
Lol they make all the seasons of it and never release it. Decades later, it's discovered hidden away in some archive. It's released and we'll be gathering our children and grandchildren so they can share in our joy and talk about the good ole days
I feel like they are going to try and do what cyberpunk edgerunners did for cyberpunk 2077 and wait til their game is fixed a bit more and once that happens release the animated series to bring people who gave up on the game back for a moment
when is this series coming out
animated series when
Still waiting 👵🏻
YouTube would be their best option at this point.
Well yes and no because yes it would be a way for them to just realease the series but then they run into the issue of if they realease it on YouTube they would be losing out on revenue.
Not really , bc people would still be paying to access the content & they would be getting all the rights rather than selling most of it to a company to host them.
You'd be very very surprised there's a reason cobra Kai is a Netflix series now and not youtube red
They aren’t making money if it’s never released anyway 🤷🏻♀️
I wasn’t talking about YouTube red lol. YouTube movies & TV.
Well that's different because then we have to pay for it and then they ark making money. That's just a sub section of Google tv. When you just say youtube that would be the equivalent of a youtube video which wouldn't be a good business option. But I do agree with Google tv/movies and tv. Another option I think should be prime video
Coming back every day for David tennant part ???


unggaa bonga when season 1 i kill lunch
How long ago was the last animated series update?
If I recall correctly, it was in april 2023, so well over half a year by now.
Sounds about right
April 2023 wasnt a year ago
He said half
for whatever reason i entirely didnt see it like it just didnt exist in my eyes
But still strange we haven't had updates
I think most of the community team is dealing with the launch of ASA at the moment as well the entire team is. There were a lot of issues some resolved some got better but still need more resolving. I doubt they have the time to deal with any other topics and to update about them
not much to update until they find a service to run the show through
Why can't they make a deal with one of the big services like netflix or Amazon video?
they could want too much of a cut, they could want changes made in the show, they could want x amount of seasons instead of what they want to do. lots of details we can't know unless we're in the room
Theory; we originally saw from the game awards (i think? maybe it was an ign video) that it was gonna release for HBO Max. Well HBO Max doesn't exist anymore and there was a whole schandle around them removing and baring animated streaming content from being used on their platform or any platoform. Wildcard probably didn't want to be caught up in all that and are figuring out what to do instead
Wasn't it originally announced for Netflix? I think they even got the Trailer on Netflix. At least they had at some point..
I've been assuming that the show was put on hold due to the writer's strike
that may have set back their talks with distributors
Today
Didn't they originally say it was meant to release some time in 2022?
Thursday though
Yep summer 2022,then America 2023, then fall 2023, and now they haven't spoke on it in a while but it's looking like 2024

Coming back for david tennant every day part :

.
Well boys, it might come out this year
Today

i think it will start after 3-10 years
maybe 11 years
I need the series atp
Out now.
nice numbers
Fr
Has there been any news at all on this? Been waiting for aaaaages bro I was so pumped when they announced it.
Any news will be pinned as its revealed
its coming out in a few years, they will have to do a reskin on it like ASE because its been completed for so long. and will look dated. lol
Today

this day
Coming back every day for David Tennant part 😔
when is this Seris coming out
04/01/20240
thanks AGAIN

Soooo…does this till exist?
yes
hey @oak brook i dont mean to bother but will we be getting any info soon on the relese?


I believe we might get more info in the extra life stream

when does this series come out?
Thanks 💪😁
wow this takes so long i bet we must have the newest gen gpu for this serie
?
.
day of now
can anyone tell how i use the whoami command
What will this be on
I hope YouTube
Netflix maybe?
we will know when/where it comes out when they tell us
Soon
Animated series isn't happening they mentioned it years before its even getting worked on
from what weve been told seasons 1 and 2 are done, they just need a distributor
Was this cancelled?
Nope, just haven't found a platform.
It's interesting they can't find a platform for the series. Prime Video would be a good platform, and they seem to take a lot of different content and even kick-started content. Vox Machina, for example
Anyone notice how Rockwell, mei yin, Henry Townsend, and nerva are all on ark ascended main menu?
Don't forget 
Oh yea, how could I forget. And also Alasie
I think they could also put it on Netflix
it depends on what theyre asking for. distribution entails a % of revenue generated, possible partial control of content, negotiating over how many seasons and episodes they want
Any news on it I would like to watch something while it comes to consles
last news was they were looking for somewhere to distribute it
Hulu only exists in the US and Japan - if they went for that they would still need additional deals to make it worldwide. Hulu’s parent company is Disney no? It could become a Disney+ and thrust title
Just seeing animation of the trailer gave me Netflix vibes but who knows where it will go to

Wonder what ever happened to this project
Put on hold for a little bit for ASA.
Wasn’t it announced before asa? If so that’s really funny
It's also a side project for some of the people from WC, not a whole Studio Wildcard thing.
Ah. The stacked cast looks amazing though
That doesn't make sense...they'd make it, get top dollar voice actors, but never worked out on who would actually distribute/stream it?
Some people think it might be due to the writer's strike, or the fact that the show was produced without distribution platform interference. I don't have the slightest clue what actually goes into a show being produced though, so I'ma just be patient until we get some Official news
They weren’t finding a platform long long before the strike though
It seems about right for them to dream big and then just wait till the last second to shove everything out the door.
Coming back every day for David tenant
Ngl, this shit prob not finna come out until 2025

Idk if it is ever coming out, sadly. I hope so, but the more time after production passes, the more unlikely it seems
It'll get leaked eventually. If it's done and someone wants people to see it, we will see it 🙂
Is this actually a thing?? Where can I watch it?
Lol
It's not where, but when...
The last progress report they gave was that they were looking for a service to put it on.
It's been a year.
They are both tied up with ASA and the writer's strike.
Oh….I thought Netflix was picking it up

we don't know who will pick it up, or even who they're talking to about it
though netflix might not be the best idea, they have a habit of cancelling shows just when they get good
I say just drop in on dvd/blue ray allready, we will totally buy it
The reasoning is simply "is it bingeable still?" Even if it's good they don't think people will want to binge shows when they start pushing past 4 seasons.
So they axe it. Regardless of quality. Bojack Horseman is an example. They canceled it precisely because they didn't think it'd be bingeable for never audiences.
exactly
I think it would fit on prime video or peacock
prime video would work best imo
comming back every day for david tennant part : (
I hope its on prime so I don’t open a subscription for another streaming service for just one show, a service has gotta have multiple shows and re watchable movies for me to subscribe
I’d have to but it’d be worth it tbh
I likr Netflix
Can't wait to watch this in 8095
The creators spent an absolute fortune on the cast alone so are probably asking for a shit tone more from platforms but those platforms won’t be too eager to spend huge money on it
When does the animated series come out? I've only heard sometime in 2023 and 2023 is almost over 🙃
Hey
he
h
when do they release the animated series?
No idea when they gonna release it might never come out
2552
It be very sad if it don't ever come out. I'll be very piss if they don't because what I've seen about it looks great and I'm very excited to see the show.
Didnt they announce it was done and was just looking for where or whom to host it with.....back at the start of the year then I remember seeing Ark news saying they where in the process of securing a streaming service back at the end of Juli. Knowing arks inability to communicate any release date with fans they probably release it with at most a days announcements beforehand. Just getting a feeling that PR isnt really their strong suit.
Damn ok then. I hope they can get a streaming service so it can be stream on their

Be any update on this? I understand there's some more pressing matters but I'm super keen for this series.
they were looking for a host, then the writers strike happened so things may have restarted
Yeah, that makes sense.
I hope bob gets a lot of screentime
coming back everyday for david tennant part 8.8
On this day
He does Rockwell so well
DT is 90% of the reason I'm looking forward to this show
David Tennet and Michelle Yeoh, Gerard Butler, Alan Tudyk...
They have an absolutely astounding, A-list cast.
Bro we are gonna be fighting the covenant before we see the show or ark 2
The fact is that with such a huge break even if season 1 were to release I wonder if there would ever be a season 2, regardless of how successful it is.
Looks like an overhyped and them abandoned project which is sad…probably a costly one at that too
I'd imagine that they were having a hard time selling it to a streaming platform before they had any major release/trending data. I think the success of ASA will help secure a major streaming platform.
ASE sold copies for over 1 billion…
Yeah I know that. But maybe streaming services were waiting to see if the hype was still where it was. Hopefully get an announcement soon.
Today
wrong channel my bad
Thursday
17th tuesday from now
If the show was scrapped y’all could tell us ya know
Is the series going to be based off the notes cus if soooo I cannot wait there soongood
Wehn the series Release
Loosely, most of the major plot points will probably still happen, but theres new characters we haven't seen before
@west cedar TBD, still looking for a distribution platform
coming back for david tennant part T.T
Right lol
I wonder if ark forgot abt this

I’m already in love w/ nerva’s character design tbh, and i want to see the hero adventurer rockwell; the kind-hearted researcher that he was on the island, before edmundium corrupted him. I’m pretty keen to see this series release one day- that’s good writing for the lore, good va work through the notes, and a good story all working together to keep an audience captivated and awaiting the release, and i’m all here for it
Today
Thursday

Coming back every day for David tenant part 🥺
Thursday
I wait and pray
this reaction is the most news we've had since the trailer
dam
When was the animated series coming out?
TBD™️
Lmfao I should've figured 😂
Fancy seeing you here
Soon
Bruh didn't they release the first teaser in 2021
Soon
click it a few more times it should work
It worked
weird Ill just give it to you lol
omg hiiiiii
Lol he wasn't that kindhearted before he discovered element. Very crafty and self serving, even in the beginning.
Aye, but at least he had empathy for other people, actively mediated, and cared about his assistants and colleagues; even formed a pretty solid friendship w/ Helena, until he mistakenly concluded that she’d betrayed him
(He was a simp)
....

Eh...
"These tribal negotiations give me a headache every time. The Blackthumbs are mad that The Painted Sharks sunk two of their barges, but the Painted Sharks say that the barges were too close to Southern Haven and they were perfectly within their rights to sink them as per The Southern Isle Accords. Typically, neither side is willing to budge.
What a bother. I’d just as soon mindwipe the lot of them and return to my studies. Alas, such is the fate of the island’s most respected neutral entity. At least The Painted Sharks brought some fresh fish. Perhaps I’ll side with them."
I'll agree he formed a sort of bond with Helena, if only because he considered her to be intellectually on par with her. The speed at which he turned on her (no benefit of the doubt, no reasonable confrontation) belays the idea that he formed a real friendship.
Hello
@rancid valve @hushed galleon take it to dms or #general, this is only for the animated series.
right, my bad
Thursday
coming back for david tennant every day part 

This'll never release will it?😣
I'm sure most of it is already been made biggest issue they have is convincing anyone to air it on their network like Netflix's etc which most company's probably aren't gonna see it as a money maker
It’s WC, to be honest it might just be “on track” if you catch my drift
any updates on the release date i dont think so, right?
they are looking for a platform to put it in, that's all that is left for it to release
Thursday
Today
The writer's strike is won
With the cast, finding a platform isn't the issue, and they have confirmed season 1 is wrapped up and complete, they are just seeing who will pay the most as with all things in life its a bout the $$$
They did say the platform finding is the issue.
Again, i don't think finding a platform is the issue, i think its about which will pay the most....
And again, Dollie flatout stated it's 'finding' a platform that will allow their series that's the issue.
Well Dollie says a lot of stuff that isn't true or correct....release dates and times for example?
So forgive me for maybe having my own opinion as to not believing they can't find a platform that 'will allow their series'....have u seen he amount of absolute trash that makes it to Netflix?
Yeah, I'd rather take the executive producers word over yours.
That's completely fine, I never said you had to believe me over anyone else... I just believe they are simply waiting for the best deal to make the most $$$ from the series (which is completely fine, business is business) but to say its because they don't have a option of a platform to stream it on.....behave....
coming back every day for david tennant part 
I thought Netflix announced it two years ago? Unless something changed?
They never did
the platform was never announced
I'm pretty sure they did. I'm a reviewer for Netflix and almost certain they announced it. If I grab my notes real quick I can double check
Please do.
Hmm. Swore I wrote it down either from a Geeked Week event or Tudum one
I also double checked twitter and I talked about it in the past as did several others. Bizarre
the last we heard afaik was like march this year that they were looking for a platform. with the strike over hopefully they can get back to it

How dare you? She always says the absolute truth and also she is never wrong.
Still no news for the series

Thursday
Ok that your opinion
This is the saddest discord channel with no updates of the animated series
You'll be thankful to even have the channel!
Guys trust me it releases next Wednesday I promise bro you just gotta believe me
It definitely got canceled now season one is straight-up lost footage
Sauce
ARK Server
Bruh this thing is actually dead. They said they'd break the silence with the release of ASA and we still know nothing of what's coming.
This is a dead project. And i mean, it's not like series is worked on by the same team that works on the games. It's entierly different people.
It's honestly frustrating and i think that pretty much every average joe that saw the trailer back in 2020 has completely forgotten about it since long by now.
I agree with you, but still waiting for them to prove it wrong
I want them to prove me wrong. I believe that honestly no one wants it to be true but it's just how it is right now
dont worry pal the only times there release date was correct wad in SE release and lost island release the rest was alll delayed or the release date was far off
The series features a lot of famous voice actors but if you pay attention to its creators, you'll notice that it is actually being worked on by ARK's original creators, just with Russel Crowe and Vin Diesel as executive producers. (Which is basically like putting your stamp on a book written by a dozen other people.)
That said, considering the strikes earlier in the year, the upheaval in the industry and just how difficult it is to work with as many famous voices as they are working with (its not like they all show up at the same time to do their lines etc) there's a fair number of different issues that could be going on right now.
Platforms aren't an easy choice to make, many platforms want exclusive rights to shows, and don't like it if there's a chance the show will walk away. Not to mention discussions on profit management (if there is to be one) and the viability of the platform itself. For example, we all have our platforms of choice right? HBO Max, Disney Plus, Netflix, Hulu etc.
If you're stuck in an exclusivity deal with one platform, you're cutting out a good chunk of audience no matter where you go. Streaming platforms also seem to do better or poorly very randomly or just nix/sell shows on an increasing whim. Makes sense that they don't want to jump the gun and put it onto something that may turn out to be a bad choice.
Last I saw on the production of the show (though I'll admit this was a while ago) was that they were nearing finishing writing/production on Season 2. So it's safe to say that while the platform issue might be taking more to get through, they'll at least have content ready when it does go through.
Everyone keeps mentioning the strike not realizing the strike started after they said it was already complete, so maybe it is just my ignorance but I feel like it’s a stretch to have it relate to it at all
For sure. Humans like simple reasonable explanations. Also we like crazy made-up explanations. (why does mr. rogers wear a sweater? marine corp tattoos or does he just like sweaters?)
Anyway, my reasonable explanation is that these are deals with companies that require contracts; that it takes time to find people to work with and get all the details worked out.
The strike isn't mentioned in relation to the series being 'complete' (which to my knowledge it is not, only up to season 2). They're mentioned in relations to striking a deal with a major studio/streaming provider, which were all involved in that mess. Even if they were 80% way through a deal by the time the strikes happened, either side could have walked away during the trouble. IT wasn't just writers that went on strike after all it was actors too.
Everything is connected far more than ya think. unfortunately these things do take time. 🤷 I'm sure we'll hear more about it soon. I can't imagine they'd have invested and completed so much only for it to be pulled without an announcement. If you want to take it as another positive sign also, their trailers are still up. I've seen projects removed without an announcement with the trailers following to make it seem as if it never existed. But Historically WC has made announcements on all their projects, starting, closing, or delayed.
Plenty of writers put their work on hold, and use it as leverage.
It's how negotiations work
Coming Back for David tennant part 🦕🦕





Coming back for David tenant every day part 
Has there been any update to the series release. I haven’t seen anything in a looonnngggg time
they are still looking for a platform to put it on, that's the last thing they need untill it's good to go
netflix


Hello brosthers

Can't find a platform seems like BS.

It isn't. I've seen some pretty accurate explanations here about the platform question. Even if there are platforms offering, you wanna ensure to reach the right audience and the most people of that audience. The TV show I'm part of has the same issues over and over again. With every new season, a new contract has to be filed if it wasn't in the initial one and with every season it has to be evaluated which networks are best. Let's say the ARK series gets an offer from Netflix. Netflix usually offers exclusivity for new series. Now you as producer have to ask these questions: Is that what you were looking for? Is the revenue share good? Are you able to reach your target audience and how many would you reach? Such things can make or break a deal. So making sure to find the right platform with the right deal is very important or you'll lose money.
Today
just finished watching season 1, good show.
Dont do that to me 😭

Coming back for David tenant every day part 
Username checks out
There's an ark animated subreddit, I've recently been put on as a head mod so go check it out, it's very barebones so keep this in mind.
Can someone create an animated series on Wildcard getting the release dates wrong, yeah cheers


All of this is very true, but I think they’ll lose more if they end up never releasing it in the first place
A series can take multiple years even a decade before releasing. Sure it would be better if it releases soon but only with a good deal





Soon
Soon
They could just write it off as a loss for taxes. Warner Bros. is doing it.
And catching flak for it and going back on that decision



👍🏼

Soon?
Today
Catching flak is something they just shrug off it seems.
Coming back for david tennant every day part 
Thursday
A dead chat
I won’t give up ! YOU HEAR ME!
Everyday till the end of time if that’s what it takes!
Is the show on hold?
I heard it didn't have a platform yet
Pretty much. Latest rumors suggested season 1 is done and they're working on production for season 2, but they currently have no platform for release and only information on that is they would announce the platform at the end of 2023...so...probably end of 2024 for an announcement the way WildCard goes.
ive heard both seasons were done lol
Is the ark animated series in limbo as suddenly there's been no talk or anything about it
netflix is gonna be the best option not gonna lie
can we expect jujutsen kaisen or demon slayer animation
They already have a trailer. You can see the animation there.
It felt like Invincible crossed with Justice League Unlimited.
animation style look just like the Avatar: The Last Airbender to me

I finally peek in ark and WHAT DO I SEE?
Man yall gonna make me mad..
Huh?
No streaming service for a possibly complete season 1.
This is why I can't look here, i read rumors and get grumpy for no reason
Afaik, they've got two seasons, but it's on hold for the ASA stuff atm, plus they're finding a platform.
:0 ty for letting me know

Who do you think will die first in the show? Someone significant or a background bob?
Someone significant
probably a nameless background character
my money is on Bob dying along the way. he doesnt fit in the story beyond the island so i could see him having a big last stand or an expectation subverting death to show that anything can kill you on the Arks
I hope not
wont it follow the story of the explorer notes?
loosely
Coming back every day for David tenant part 🍮
Yeah that was my thoughts to. RIP Bob.

Why isn’t this on Amazon prime for like $8
Why isn't it available on anything? From what I've heard they have already completed season 1 and have began development for season 2. With this kind of progress I could be on YouTube TV, DVD, or could be a even have on streaming sites like peacock (because peacock will take any show no one else will). If this is am issue with monetization, the only thing holding them back is themselves either to a lack of funding or they are being hyper critical of the quality.
Or it is just not completed yet.
Crazy how we didn't get anything official except the trailer
When is the show coming out
Almost a year since the show got done with all voice acting and animation. how long does it take to put together 12 episodes jeez
ik I just wanna watch the series and same thing is happening with asa for Xbox
almost like they are searching for a platform to make a deal and put in on
It doesn’t take a year to find a platform for a series with so many people waiting for this to release also YouTube is a thing to that they can put it on
My money at the time was on the show being on HBO Max because Primal wad already there, but that was before HBO Max started pulling shows and generally turned into a cesspool
Season 1 is completed.
Primal is there because it was done by Genndy Tartakovsky, the creator of Samurai Jack which was already streaming on HBO Max.
Yeah I loaded ark up earlier and it said the first season was available on Youtube but I'm not seeing it there
Season 1 trailer. Not season 1.
oh I must've read it wrong
I know what they have said, it doesn’t make it true with their track record.
The season 1 trailer is available. Season 1 is also completed with 14 episodes. Check pins.
Uh...ok?
I was only questioning my own sanity. I am tired so it was possible my thoughts didn't echo my words.
Just woke up myself, you good XD my fault
guys ive seen on theyre trailer on the yt channel they wrote it would release in 2023 is that true
Check pins for all official info
the writer strike probably set things back
Hmm- I don’t remember your words at all
Get outta here
Likely not. Most release dates given get pushed back. The animated series has been hinted at for so long with no visible progress that I gave up on it. It's tough being an Ark fan, almost like being a Cowboys fan. "This is our year"
Bro wild card can’t even make a game properly the move is gonna be dirt
woa
1, not the game devs making this (though theyve been great, very impressed with what they did with 10 months of work in a new engine). 2, not a movie
Tell us how you really feel 😆
@sharp kernel when will ark animated series come out???
we'll know when they know and can tell us
Ok
is it out yet?
july 4th, 1776
No it will come out by 2186
Please don't 😆
I want to see it before I die 🥺
would be nice to see the animated series b4 ark 2 gets released???
Ik

Coming back everyday for David tenant part 💳💥💳💥
It will be and I think it was originally supposed to be that way. I don't know since it both didn't have the exact date, only the year. So probably ark 2 and ark, the animated series will come out the same year
Thursday
Today
Lmao this series never came out???
currently in the proces of making a platform deal to make it come out
It'll show up on Pirate Bay before a platform picks it up.
I'd watch it

When is it going to come out?
No word on release. Last information is season 1 is done, season 2 is in production, and they'll announce information on the platform end of 2023.
That's pretty much the way the industry works. Make a season 1, then before anyone picks it up or sees it at all, go ahead and make a season 2 with the "no money" that you've received from the first season that was produced. Could be part of the "Snail Games" business plan.
Today
All of the funding is actually from Jesse/Jeremy's pockets.
I believe it. As I was bringing up, they haven't made any money from season 1, to warrent a season 2. Which isn't typical of the television industry.
I think season 2 was origianally part of season 1, but the splitted it
This show is releasing august 30th 2552
hark
When’s it releasing?

mmmm no release date yet?
probably when they secure a platform deal
coming back every day for david tennant part ( i missed a day yesterday)
If you missed a day can you really say you come back every day?
yes bc I can
I like Davit Tennant and he is extremely talented but I think you might be a simp
I am yes absolutley without a doubt 100% simpage

But it may crash while you are in the middle of watching a episode 🤣
It wouldnt be ark without it.
comign back every day for david tennant part 
No I’m sick of waiting! I was excited but now I’ve lost interest they should give us some kinda update 😒
Pls realeas it on netflix
dont worry they will give us an update 4 years before your it will come out so we probs only got a nother 10 years to to wait for the next update
Facts
I swear the day after I die, it will release
todamorrow
Same
Relase is soonmorrow
i think they are probably not going to release it hahaha and just upload it to a community crunch for us to download
when is it even relaseing
dont worry its gonna come out right after gta 6
Sounds about right
imagine the first season is on The Island then they gotta make like 9 seasons
I'd watch
IF THEY RELEASED IT
Is this even real
Honestly, just the first episode should keep me sated until the seasons are released
I just have grabby hands TM for more DT content
wouldn't it be funny if they acknowledged crashes in the show or something





There was never a show was there

It’s all lies they’re not even square
I feel like they just forgot about it and dont care anymore
Dollie (Ark's product manger) did discuss the series, it's currently on pause with asa and seemingly securing a platform deal
it's just in a cryo for a lil bit whilst we focus on ASA
aw man It's gonna have cryo sickness and they're gonna have to wait a while when it releases from the pod 😢
I really hope this doesn't go the way of the dodo 💔
It'll actually be PVE. So no cryosickness.
I don't fancy fighting people to watch the show. I'd like to not be enemies with the wife.
But there are people in it fighting. So it's def PvP
I meant the show's gonna have cryo sickness because dollie said it's in a cryo lmaoo
I know.
Hm
i havent heard news on the show in a year
🥲
It was never coming out lol It has the curse of Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines 2. Always coming out, but never released
I hope it's Disney+
I mean there are enough big names in it, 🤷♀️
they don't own wildcard
Hear me out, netflix, or Apple TV.
