With over 30k votes, Dreadnoughtus will be the new creature added to Extinction for ARK: Survival Ascended. We are looking forward to sharing its concept and dossier in the weeks to come!
If you are interested in seeing exactly how the voting went, check it out here[app.rankedvote.co].
Official Servers will be permanently shut down on Saturday, September 30th at midnight UTC.
It's been a wonderful journey none of us could have expected way back in 2015 and we'll see you just around the corner in ARK: Survival Ascended!
We’ll be taking one last save snapshot from the Official Network and providing the files to you so that you can host your own server and continue the progress you’ve made on the Official Network.
- The final save snapshot from the Official Network will happen on Saturday, September 30th (9/30) for both PC and Consoles, this process can take up to 12 hours and will start at midnight UTC.
- You will need to ensure your character is on its respective server, prior to the save taking place so we recommend making sure your character is there well before midnight UTC.
- Your items, dinos, and characters that have been uploaded to the ARK cloud will not be included in the save! So, please make sure to download anything that you wish to keep from the cloud prior to the save on 9/30.
This final save snapshot will be provided on Thursday, October 5th (10/5).
Survivors on all platforms will be receiving an EVO Event! It will be active until the sunsetting of the servers.
All Official Servers across each platform will be undergoing this evolutionary change which includes:
*Note that these bonuses are multiplicative of the game's standard 1x rates.
- Official Servers: 2x XP, Harvesting, Taming and Breeding (imprint, maturation, hatch/gestation), 0.5x Mating Interval, 2x hexagon

Monarky's newest season is a massive collaboration of over 30 content creators, challenging them to work together or struggle alone as they battle through one of ARK's most challenging mod, The Hunted!
Welcoming seasoned and newer creators and, this weekend, the public community, Monarky's The Hunted is set to last until ARK: Survival Ascended's release at the end of October! Their goal is to celebrate eight wonderful years of ARK by creating a community network all in support of ARK content and pushing everyone's in-game survival knowledge to the very limits!
Peruse the list of all the content creators here[docs.google.com].
You can also join Monarky's Discord[discord.com] to stay up-to-date with the event!

This video tells the story of the first survivors to arrive on the Island after the events of the lore have transpired. A man wakes up on a beach naked with no memory of how he got there and must figure out how to survive.
Creator: TheAxeMan
Axeman has another go at taming a Carcharodontosaurus, but this time he is armed with more knowledge on how to get that perfect tame!
