Teeming with corruption, the Extinction DLC is a massive new map for ARK: SE. In it, you’ll discover new biomes including unique biome domes, over 10 new creatures, and brand-new features to discover like orbital supply drops filled with mighty gear. Join us below as we cover more details on what will await in the new ARK DLC soon to be available on your Nintendo Switch ARK Server!

What’s Inside ARK Extinction DLC for Switch

The World of Extinction

ARK Extinction world and biomes

When you first enter the world of ARK Extinction, you’ll notice the map is laid out uniquely. In each corner, you and your friends will discover isolated biomes, each surrounded by an apocalyptic desert. These diverse biomes include the city of Sanctuary, Desert Dome, Snow Dome, Sunken Forest, Wasteland, and Forbidden Zone, the most dangerous of them all. You can follow our adventurer’s server guide to ARK Extinction DLC to learn more about the biomes and what they look like!

New Creatures and Corrupted Technology

As you travel through every new biome, you’ll meet many new creatures along the way. Each creature and dinosaur has conformed well to their environments, ready to bring harsh fights and make for great tames! Here are some of the creatures you’ll encounter while on Extinction:

  • Snow Owl – Free flowing in the sky, the Snow Owl is found in the Snow Dome. Using its antennae to track prey with heat vision, the Snow Owl is able to swoop down for an attack. Once tamed, the Owl can prove to be a valuable asset with its ability to transport players, carry items, and fight other creatures.
  •  

  • Velonasaur – A resident of the Desert Dome biome, the Velonsaur is a slower creature but the concern it brings is from the shooting spikes on its face and back. When shot toward a player, these spikes can deal enormous damage.
  •  

  • Managarmr – Alongside the Snow Owl in the Snow Dome, the Managarmr can also be found there. Speedy with wings, this creature can dance around players with incredible speed while dealing minor damage. While it isn’t the strongest creature in ARK, its speeds more than makeup for this with lightening fast transportation.

Deadly Boss Fights

With the new creatures also came the inclusion of new bosses – four to be exact. Themed after the various biomes that they dwell in, these Titans will prove to be dangerous forces of nature. Alongside your friends, you’ll need to collect the best gear, weapons, and resources to ensure survival. You may even need to build and jump inside a mech to win these dangerous fights against the corruption!

Orbital Supply Drops & Elemental Nodes
