Slowly expand outwards as you harvest, build structures, farm crops, customize your visual designs, and proceed to explore to uncover the true nature of The Island and the worlds beyond.


UPCOMING W.C. EVENTS:

2025 Content

May 2025: ASA Unreal Engine 5.5 update

We are targeting a launch sometime between April 15 - May 15. We’re primarily still working on eliminating bugs that have occurred as a result of the upgrade on the already existing content. The patch that rolls out the upgrade will provide immediate benefits to performance, namely around rendering, load times, and we’ll also be structuring the game packages so that maps other than The Island become optional downloads, significantly reducing the size of the base game installation.

Additionally, we know there are concerns about modders when the upgrade happens and what this might do to the mods, we’re going to do our best to eliminate as many crashes as we can, and of course resolve issues (which will occur as we resolve them ourselves) that impact mods. We intend to make sure that every Premium Mod is functioning for release, along with a sampling of the most popular Free Mods, and the breadth of that should ensure the vast majority of mods work prior to the release.

With the upcoming engine update to the game, we are making a pretty big change to reduce the memory overhead, but this change has the potential to impact some mods in a significant way. Several classes will have a number of properties that we have identified to be constants-in-practice and will be moving them to a system called sparse data which will make them read-only at runtime and not instance based.

This summer, a one-click “low-system-requirement mode” will get the game to run on GeForce 1080-level cards, and on systems that have 16 GB of RAM. The game won’t look pretty, but it will look intelligible, similar in quality to the “Shader Model 4” mode of ARK Survival Evolved. To all the gaming toaster ovens out there (we have plenty of them ourselves), we salute you!There’s steady progress being made on the Unreal Engine 5.5 upgrade, which will bring a range of impactful performance improvements along with our ongoing work splitting DLC maps into optional downloads so you’ll have more control over your storage space

June 2025: Free Ragnarok Ascended,

Ragnarok is being developed specifically in the 5.5 version of the engine, we’re not able to release it until the 5.5 upgrade itself is live. Also, Ragnarok’s progress has been impacted by the upgrade itself, which means that it’s taking a little longer than expected to release and we’ve locked-in a June 2nd launch date.

The Bison thunders onto the ARK with the launch of Ragnarok on June the 2nd. From snow-capped peaks to sun bathed meadows, this bovine behemoth is ready to make the wilds of Ragnarok its stomping ground! This community-voted bruiser isn’t just bringing brute force, (though trust us, it’s got plenty of that) it’s also packing some surprisingly nourishing qualities for those wise enough to keep it close. Whether it’s terrorizing would-be threats or just being the burly barnyard buddy you didn’t know you needed, the Bison is ready to make its mark, one glorious thud at a time.

August 2025: Free Valguero Ascended

Valguero is also being developed specifically in the 5.5 version of the engine. And may take a little longer than expected to release. With over 32k votes, Megaraptor will be the new creature added to Valguero for ARK: Survival Ascended. With its lightning speed and razor-sharp instincts, this prehistoric predator is set to shake up the ARK in ways we can’t wait to dive into! We are looking forward to sharing its concept and dossier in the weeks to come!

November 2025: Lost Colony’s November launch

Get ready for the next chapter in the ARK universe, ARK: Lost Colony drops this November, with pre-orders starting in April, when you’ll be able to enhance your immediate survival with early access to new gameplay systems and exclusive content.

In this new frozen world, players will follow in the footsteps of legendary ARK survivor Mei Yin, on a soul-searching quest deep into the chilling heart of darkness!

2026 Content:

With the ongoing work throughout the year, we want to take a bit more time to give the Genesis Ascended remaster the love and attention it deserves, and we’re now looking at:

  • April 2026: Free Genesis Ascended Part 1 & Bob's True Tales Part 1

  • August 2026: Free Genesis Ascended Part 2 & Bob's True Tales Part 2

  • December 2026: Free Fjordur Ascended with a community-voted free creature

  • 3 Fantastic Tames spread throughout the year

Over the course of the year, we’ll be sharing juicy details, sneak peeks, and reveals about all of this and more in our crunches, so stay tuned for more news!
