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!

I redownloaded this game and waited 6 hours for it to download and patch. Then 2 days later it wanted me to do a 3gb update and its going to take another 6 hours. So, I decided to just delete it. They really need to fix this patching issue. I am downloading on a 4th gen m.2 btw.
Просто кал бесполезный. Играть невозможно, вечные фризы. Официальные сервера толком недоступны, а на неофициальных просто шлак и играть смысла нет, то пинг выше крыши, то какие-нибудь типы, которые не спят и снесут тебя пока ты в туалет отошёл. Смысл игры потерян, куча бесполезных длс: роботы, пираты, х.ня полная, так ещё за это платить надо. Большая половина дино просто мусор, которых с легендарного дробовика просто шотаешь. Тек-дино отдельный вид вообще. Если у тебя обычные или усиленные турели, считай что их нет, один тек-трайк или стего просто впитывает всё 30-40к хп, урон по 10-30 единиц проходит. Если зашёл на сервер, где уже играют люди , выжить и построиться вариантов нет. Нет привязки к дому, стройся где хочу, пол карты обтыкай столбами и никто не построиться. Относительно количеству людей карты очень маленькие. Одному в пвп играть нету смысла вообще, вы..бут и высушат в первый день, не успев ничего построить. Вайпы на неоффах каждый месяц(потому что все сервера затыканы фундаментами или столбами), после запуска сервера люди там есть первую неделю, затыкали всё, а потом пусто. Старый ASE был намного атмосферние когда вышел. Сейчас вообще ничего не понятно, всё смешано, эра динозавров с технологиями, которых даже в жизни нет. Эта игра максимум пве сервер или свой создавать и играть. Вообще не советую покупать, даже по скидке. Можно конечно купить если нравятся динозаврики, но играть только пве или сингл.
This game is unplayable, always turns up a black screen. I use I5 13600K, rtx 4070 and 1TB of free space for this game. Does not work whatsoever.
Can't recommend this Trash. This "game" is not for the typical sandbox survival lover. It's for sweaty PvPers and people who actually hate themselves. ATLAS was better and got abandoned. The developers do not care what you think, they only care about your wallet. They are predatory scum. It is also not even optimized. I play on a RTX 4070 with 32 GB Ram and still have to play on Low graphics. Its laggy as fucc. And in single player theres not even an option to toggle "drop inventory on death". Making the game for sweatlords because you WILL die ALOT. The game is designed to hate you and want to kill you. Save your money.

muy buen juego y con mods esta increible
I spent 60 minutes trying to get this game run on more than 75 fps on a 9800X3D 7900 XT. It didn't work without frame gen that makes it feel like I'm playing drunk.
No se puede jugar, Wildcard son unos estafadores.
I love the game but snail games is one of the greediest companies I have ever seen. They use AI in their ads and I bet they use it for more than that. Its literally not worth getting into the game unless you are already a fan of Ark because all youll have at the end of the day is disappointment and slop in your library. This game used to be about dinosaurs and surviving...now we have how to train your dragon, teleporting fire lions, and more slop. The pyromanes and any other dlc creature can spawn on almost if not all maps and kill you, your tames, and break structures but if you manage to knock one out or want to tame it, you cant without spending 5 or 30 dollars for something that some actual ♥♥♥♥♥♥ thought would be a cool adition to the dinosaur survival game. dont get me wrong, I like the wyverns and the griffins when they first came out and im not opposed to fantasy creatures but its just greed on greed. To the CEO, go start another failed electric vehicle company and please go bankrupt so you can give the studio to someone who actually cares about the ip. Ark 2 is not real and its never coming out, they already blew the budget 5 years or so ago when they anounced it.
