About
Respawn into a new dinosaur survival experience beyond your wildest dreams… as ARK is reimagined from the ground-up into the next-generation of videogame technology with Unreal Engine 5! You awake on a mysterious island, your senses overwhelmed by the blinding sunlight and brilliant colors bouncing off every surface around you, the azure waters of a verdant Island lapping at your bare feet. A deep roar echoes from the misty jungle, jolting you into action, and you stand up – not afraid, but intrigued. Are you ready to form a tribe, tame and breed hundreds of species of dinosaurs and other primeval creatures, explore, craft, build, and fight your way to the top of the food-chain? Your new world awaits… step through the looking-glass and join it!
FEATURES
ARK: Survival Ascended has completely recreated and redesigned the artwork and worlds of ARK to take advantage of the latest in videogame technology, Unreal Engine 5, using high-end graphics features such as fully dynamic Global Illumination (“Lumen”), so that light bounces realistically off of surfaces and provides realistic reflections, and advanced mesh streaming (“Nanite”) of hundreds of millions of triangles for extreme detail.
Advanced new physics systems such as dynamic water so that every creature creates waves, ripples, splashes, and bubbles as they move through fluids, and fully interactive physical foliage where every blade of grass, bush, and tree reacts to characters, explosions, projectiles, and physics objects. Knock down a tree, and see it crash into other trees and disturb all the foliage on its way down to smacking into the grass below! Detect an enemy moving sneakily through the grass as it shifts and sways in response to their presence. Demolish a building and watch the pieces break apart realistically, interacting with the grass and water as they fall.
ARK: Survival Ascended includes access to all of ARK’s worlds, including Scorched Earth, Aberration, Extinction, ARK Genesis Part 1, ARK Genesis Part 2, and more. The Island, Scorched Earth, Aberration and The Center are released now, Extinction will be released on December 16, with the subsequent expansion worlds to be added at no additional cost on a regular basis.
The definitive survival experience returns better than ever: design your Survivor, form a tribe, and tame, train, breed & ride dinosaurs within a living ecosystem. Watch your food, water, temperature, and weather patterns. 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.
Thorough Quality of Life revamps in every area: redesigned User Interfaces, dynamic navigation for intelligent creature pathfinding, Wild Babies, Photo Mode, new Camera systems, new Map system, Tracking System, new Structures and Items, new Creatures, and much more.
Cross-Platform Modding: Download & play new custom content created by players, including new maps, creatures, items, and game modes, through a dedicated mod collection directly within the game! Enjoy an endless stream of new ARK content as the creativity and talent of the community is fully unleashed for the first time ever across gaming platforms!
Cross-Platform Multiplayer: form your online tribe across different gaming platforms as you work together to survive and thrive on the ARK!

Dev's. Why did you make an entirely new game with a graphics engine you WERENT ready to manage and instead of fixing the issues and problems you have subjected yourself too, your filling this game with buggy DLC's and creatures locked behind a paywall. You're not even trying to be subtle. This game is just Ark Survival Evolved with more complications just to be a cashgrab. If you want to play this game properly you have to be willing to run commands to make it run or turn down graphics to the point toware it would LOOK better playing Ark Evolved. I have a computer thats not a powerhouse but is a very decent gaming computer (can run games like Minecraft 4k at 400 frames or Valorant 4k at 300 frames) but for some reason i have to turn down graphics all the way just to scratch 100 frames. The DLC's are a mess. An absolute mess. Dev's, why do you keep working on DLC's, test them, see they are practically unplayable and go "ahh its good enough" and release it to the public??? Then when it starts getting the reviews you deserve, only THEN do you run an update a DAY to fix the bullcrap that is the "content" that's locked behind a HIGH price paywall. Not to mention, because Ark is like 200 GB, it can take upwards of an hour just to update a couple gigabytes of data. Your DLC's are so messed up that you have to ramsack the community with update after update just to make them playable after they're released pre-maturely. Dont get me started on how many crashes, in game deaths, dino deaths, progress roll-backs, i have witnessed SIMPLY because this game is so not optimized. We get it. You want money. But you'd get way more money if you actually gave a dang about your community you have spent almost a decade working to create. But the worst thing, out of EVERYTHING Ark Ascended has to offer... is the multiplayer tether. For some odd reason, Ark Evolved was more advanced than Ark Ascended because you cant even play with friends without having an actual digital leash connecting you to the host. WHY HAVE WE DEVOLVED?! ARK EVOLVED DIDNT HAVE A TETHER?! You SERIOUSLY went "naaa lets just make multiplayer the worst experience ever by having you teleport to the host when you're too far away instead of fixing our broken ahh game." I have died from the stupid tether more than the actual game itsself. This game doesnt deserve positive feedback. It doesnt deserve the money people have wasted on it. And it should not exist. Just play Evolved. This unintelligent company should of quit while they where ahead a LONG time ago.
good
No sirve el juego... una verguensa lo que quieren vender... la unica forma del que juego sea divertido es aplicando mod infinitos que te bloquean el juego... teniendo que desinstalar e instalar devuelta... es todo lo mismo... pero con mas problemas y mas bugs. si aplicaran todos los mods que tienes que bajar aparte... seria un poco mas llevadero y variado.. un desastre total...
BRILLLLLLIANT
If you want to play this game the right way don't even try. All the official servers are completely unmoderated just about every server has people duplicating structures and spamming them all over the maps even on spawn points and drops and there are many people living inside the maps walls and under the ground if you try to make a report you will hear nothing back even if you have irrefutable proof they can't even implement a community moderation system that is free that's how lazy i think this company is all they want is your money not your satisfaction in this game the cheaters are the only ones who can play.
Very fun, very extensible. Has its rough points, but so does my Stratocaster.
More than 500 GB required :-(
