Megaraptor – The New Shadow Hunter in ARK
Starting at the end of August 2025, players of ARK: Survival Ascended on the mod map Valguero will be joined by a particularly fearsome predator: the Megaraptor. As the winner of the ninth Community Creature Vote, it enters the field not as a classic muscle-bound beast, but as a deadly hunter from the shadows – with entirely new mechanics and a playstyle that centers on stealth attacks, fear, and psychological effects.

With patch v66, ARK: Survival Ascended takes a significant step forward: The migration to Unreal Engine 5.5 improves the technical foundation for better performance, stability, and visual quality. Individual DLC maps can now be installed or removed separately – a plus for storage and mod management. Also new is the cross-platform backup system for single-player, which allows for automatic backups, as well as a performance-optimized graphics preset on PC that prioritizes framerate over graphics.
