On Twitter, Studio Wildcard Co-Founder Jeremy Stieglitz said that the ending in v257 (PC)/v507 (PS4)/v754 (Xbox) “is not the game’s “true” ending, not even close. That’ll be coming soon, & it’ll be glorious.”
Stieglitz also confirmed that per pixel painting is eventually coming to consoles:
Don’t worry console ARK Picassos, we haven’t forgot about you! When per-pixel painting debuts on console, what are you gonna paint first?! pic.twitter.com/27iRyaKYqt
