From Humble Beginnings to Epic Odyssey

Back in 2015, Studio Wildcard unleashed Ark: Survival Evolved, little did they know it would evolve into the epic adventure it is today. The vibrant community and unwavering support transformed a small indie title into a gaming behemoth.

Introducing Cross-Platform Modding Madness

Ark: Survival Ascended introduces a game-changer: cross-platform modding. No longer the sole domain of PC players, modding will be available on all platforms. The in-game CurseForge mod browser, easily accessible from the main menu, will soon be bursting with new structures, dinos, maps, decor, and game modes.

Studio Wildcard is collaborating with pro game studios and developers to introduce their original content to Ark: Survival Ascended, making it the ultimate gaming modding hub. At launch, you can start crafting your mods by downloading the new Ark Devkit from the Epic Launcher.

A Technological Evolution

Ark: Survival Ascended has ascended to Unreal Engine 5, bringing a host of improvements. Lumen’s dynamic global illumination system ensures lifelike lighting changes as you explore, whether it’s the sun dappling through the trees or torchlight flickering in dark caves.

Nanite enables high-detail assets, enriching the game’s visuals. With Chaos physics, destruction looks realistic, adding dynamic elements to raids and battles. Say goodbye to frustrating ragdoll physics!
