ARK: 11 Years of Survival

Eleven years ago, players woke up on the beaches of ARK for the very first time– cold, confused, probably hungry, and only a few bad decisions away from being ambushed by something with teeth. Since that day, ARK has grown into an incredible universe of survival stories, all shaped by the players who live them. With ARK: Survival Ascended, that journey continues to evolve. From the remastered landscapes of The Island, Scorched Earth, The Center, Aberration, Extinction, Ragnarok, and Valguero, to Bob’s Tall Tales, Astraeos, and Lost Colony, the world is bigger than ever. ASA has brought these familiar worlds to life in Unreal Engine 5 while opening the door for new tools, systems, premium content, community mods, and plenty of new ways for ARK to do what it does best: surprise you, humble you, and somehow keep you coming back for “just one more tame.” And the best part? There is still so much more on the horizon. Thank you for 11 years of surviving, building, battling, breeding, modding, and making ARK what it is today. We couldn't have done it without you. Here’s to everything we’ve built together so far, and everything still ahead.
