Extinction Ascended, the exciting new chapter in the Ascended saga has finally seen the light of day. This DLC is included for free with your ARK: Survival Ascended game.

New Dinosaurs, Lands, and Secrets Await to be Uncovered!

Extinction Ascended takes place on a devastated Earth. Players will enter a world overrun by nature and chaos. From abandoned cityscapes to vast biomes teeming with danger, survivors must adapt to this hostile environment while facing massive challenges, literally.

This DLC Map is divided into different areas including a desert, an icy area, an abandoned city, and extremely corrupted lands. A map designed for true adventurers.

As in the base game, in Extinction Ascended you must scavenge for resources, build a shelter or base, and tame powerful creatures that will become great allies. But that’s not all. Prepare for epic battles against giant Titans where victory is no easy task, but the rewards make it worthwhile.

The Titans aren’t the only creatures included in this DLC. Across the lands of the Extinction Ascended map you’ll cross with creatures of all types, from fliers and corrupted creatures to even dangerous tech.

This large post-apocalyptic map brings with it great new challenges, which will undoubtedly add up to hours of exciting adventures that are even more fun when shared with friends, and the best way to explore ARK with friends is on your own Nitrado Game Server.
