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 of off 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 is released now, 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.

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
