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

Studio Wildcard expands the ecosystem of ARK: Survival Ascended with two distinctive creatures that are exclusively available through paid DLCs. While the Burrowbuck marks the first animal of the "Fantastic Tames" package, the Tidepup integrates 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.
