April 2026

Genesis Part 1 fundamentally transforms the ASA architecture. At its center is the paid DLC "Tides of Fortune", part of the "Bob’s Tall Tales" pack. Studio Wildcard is targeting a release in summer 2026.

Studio Wildcard is expanding the ecosystem of ARK: Survival Ascended with two distinctive creatures that are exclusively available via paid DLCs. While the Burrowbuck marks the first creature of the "Fantastic Tames" pack, the Tidepup is integrated into the maritime expansion "Tides of Fortune" within Bob's Tall Tales.

The pARKplatz is a time-limited event format for ARK Survival Ascended, focusing on a controlled symbiosis of classic survival gameplay and softcore role-playing. It starts on Sunday, April 26, 2026.
