We’re thrilled to welcome yet another long-awaited creature from Garuga123’s ARK: Additions into the official world of ARK: Survival Ascended. These incredible creatures continue to bring fresh gameplay, new challenges, and some seriously epic tames to the ARK.

The [color=#f39c12]Acrocanthosaurus[/color] is stomping onto the scene as a brutal frontline powerhouse. Built for the thick of battle, this massive carnivore truly shines when the fight turns against it. The longer the fight goes, the more fearsome it becomes, turning injuries into momentum and refusing to back down when others might fall.

But it is not just a savage attacker. The Acrocanthosaurus has a defensive edge that makes it especially formidable in a survivor’s hands, able to hold the line, draw attention, and weather the chaos head-on.
Whether charging into danger or standing firm against it, this creature will command the battlefield by sheer presence alone on [color=#f39c12]March 31[/color].

Keep up with the development on ARK: Additions in Garuga’s [color=#f39c12]Discord[/color][discord.com]!

Here’s a first glimpse of the upcoming ocean systems currently being tested inside the Genesis Part 1 biome. While the ship assets shown here are temporarily borrowed from ATLAS for early functional testing, the final release will feature brand-new ships built specifically for ARK: Survival Ascended.

The real focus of this test, however, is the new water physics system built from the ground up for Genesis Part 1. Waves, buoyancy, and ship movement are all being actively developed and tested as we shape the foundations of large-scale maritime gameplay within Genesis’s ocean environments.

These systems will ultimately support a full maritime experience across a map-wide ocean biome, where real water physics, customizable ships, semi-procedural islands and fortresses to discover, and large-scale naval battles across the high seas will define life on the water.

Want to build your own ARK world without learning the Dev Kit? With the in-game ASA World Creator, players on any platform, including consoles, can design their own maps directly within ARK and share them with others via the Mod Browser.

While creators won’t be able to make new art assets or perform the deep construction associated with the full Dev Kit, the system provides powerful tools for building playable worlds. Creators will be able to place and modify actors, create reusable templates, edit their properties, adjust overall world settings, configure volumes and spawners, add mods and skin packs, and implement simple gameplay logic through a brand new scripting layer that combines Lua scripting with a Blueprint API.

Everything shown in the screenshot is part of the in-game interface, including the full GUI and property editing tools!

The wilds of Astraeos keep getting wilder.

Arriving [color=#66ffff]this summer[/color], [color=#66ffff]Boaratos[/color] is not your typical forest brute. Towering at nearly twice the size of a Daeodon, this fiery juggernaut’s massive tusks carve through trees with surprising results, while its temper can quite literally ignite—setting its fur and tusks ablaze to unleash explosive attacks that leave enemies burning in its wake.

This fearsome creature is based on a concept by DragonHeart, creator of the Arkology: Overseer’s Experiments mod, and it’s bringing a whole new kind of heat to Astraeos.

Expire servers are temporary servers across the network that will eventually be removed, and you can find them by searching for "[color=#3498db]Expire[/color]" in the session filter.

These servers will be online until 10 am PST / 1 pm EST on March 9. We're preemptively using our allocation for future maps to host some additional sessions that players can travel onto to farm, tame, and experience the newest content Gameplay. The same transfer restrictions apply in that you are only able to download your character, but you can freely take anything off. This is to help reduce load off some of the other servers, or provide players an option for those who just want to jump onto a new map temporarily.

Please note that [color=#3498db]these servers will no longer exist after 10 am PST / 1 pm EST on March 9[/color], so if you intend to use them, remember to transfer your items/creatures/characters off before that date, as nothing will be saved beyond that time period.
