Hello Survivors!

Today, Studio Wildcard is proud to announce ARK’s third expansion pack, “Extinction”! 

AVAILABLE NOW!

Steam on PC/Mac/Linux/SteamOS:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/887380/ARK_Extinction__Expansion_Pack/

ARK: Extinction will be available for PlayStation®4 and Xbox One starting November 13th.

Finish your journey through the worlds of ARK in ‘Extinction’, where the story began and ends: on Earth itself! An Element-infested, ravaged planet filled with fantastical creatures both organic & technological, Earth holds both the secrets of the past and the keys to its salvation. As a veteran Survivor who has conquered all previous obstacles, your ultimate challenge awaits: can you defeat the gigantic roaming Titans which dominate the planet, and complete the ARK cycle to save Earth's future?

ARK: Extinction is an entirely new map that promises to deliver the long-awaited climax to the ARK storyline, returning to where the story began and now ends: on Earth itself! Visit the ruined world that’s rampant with Element-corrupted creatures, scour the land for Orbital Supply Drops, tame exotic creatures, and build a Mek powerful enough to defeat the colossal, tameable Titans dominating the landscape.

A PLANET IN DISTRESS

Extinction brings survivors back to where the mysterious journey all started; Earth. What was once a lush and thriving home world is now a corrupt, hostile and desolate shell of its former self. Venture into the diverse landscape where ruins of a past civilization reveal clues to Earth’s demise along with the keys to reviving its future. At the heart of this bleak and foreboding terrain is an overgrown, deserted technological metropolis that rises amidst the waste.  Discover and explore long abandoned micro-biospheres which served as the early prototypes for the ARKs of today. 

TAME NEW CREATURES

Capture, tame and craft powerful and unusual organic and mechanical creature types different from anything previously seen in the ARK universe. Increase situational awareness by flying and controlling robotic surveillance drones. Harvest valuable resources by taming and feeding organic transmutation machines. Reach new heights and remote locations by climbing and teleporting with the ultimate security bot. Ensure your survival by building and piloting your own customizable battle Mek to victory!

CRAFT UNIQUE ITEMS

Ensure mastery on this forsaken world with many new and exotic craftable items. Keep your tames where you want them with a creature leash, use taxidermy tools to enhance your home decor with trophy mounts from your most memorable kills, span and traverse previously uncrossable gaps with a Tek bridge, store and preserve your favorite friendly creature in a portable cryopod for reuse later, utilize Tek gravity grenades to attract or repel foes to your advantage, and autonomously airlift loot back to your base with an airborne delivery crate!

CONQUER NEW CHALLENGES

As Element runs rampant across Earth, corrupting and mutating all that it touches, Survivors must be prepared for the unique challenges fueled from these cataclysmic events. Engage in epic battles of titanic proportions when encountering the colossal Titans that rule this hostile planet as the ultimate apex predator. Scour the wastelands for orbital supply drops and protect the precious cargo they contain while fending off an onslaught of Element-corrupted monstrosities barely resembling their former selves. Survive and shelter from environmental anomalies such as Element eruptions, eclipses and meteor showers.

Return to Earth and complete your conquest of the ARK universe, gain sought after answers to advance the storyline, discover the fate of the original explorers, determine the true purpose of the ARK network, and unravel the remaining mysteries of the Homo Deus!

Why does my game (Xbox one, digital) say I don’t own it and need to buy it to play, when I bought it AND the season pass before Ab came out?!?!  Same story for my husband!! We had purchased two copies of the game and two season passes, had no issues before the pc launch of Extinction, and now we can’t even LOAD the game at all!!!!!

It looks really awesome... Congrats on hitting your release date on the first try...Good Job WC you've come a long way!!!

Can you guys please come out with extingtion on monday next week because all the people that go to school have that day off.

I'm waiting for ark extinction ps4 you working hard and put things on console is hard I will wait till it comes

the only person I have come across other than myself that is thankful that they are working their asses off to give us console uses a good looking game. THANK YOU WILDCARD YOU ARE GREAT

I notice congealed gas balls now stack to 100 (was 10). Is there any further patch notes/any other changes? The patch notes don't list that change, so I'm wondering if there's more we are missing.

Edit: And Anky's tail swing (left click) now sweeps up berries and mushrooms instead of just smashing rocks. Is this a glitch?

At this point I know this comment will receive hate, but still unfair and uncool of wild card to grab for cash now rather release both on the same date. If I didn't buy a season pass already, I would refuse to buy it.

We need more server in the smalltribes. There are more servers for conquest than for smalltribes while more people play smalltribes it makes no sense. Please fix this i am trying to play the game since yesterday you making us suffer even more.

So i downloaded the extinction dlc first showed 15g got to 100% then was stuck at that. It then started downloading something else wouldn't say what it was but said it would take 1 hour so I waited , it got to 2 seconds remaining then jumped all the way up to more than a year!!!!! So i shut steam down started again. It started another download which was small then went to a 20g download , let it run over night, woke up saw another 29g download happened and showed that there was a corrupted file with extinction.  

#JusticeForConsolePlayers!!!!!!

So are they gonna release it for console before the 13 or is that the set date??

Good job guys dlc realy is amazing. there is some places on maps where you realy need to fix stuff tho

I love the new extinction DLC but I'm disappointed they got rid of the body bags! My quotas are going to be real annoying now

Can’t wait to play when I get home.  I just hope they found some way to address Pillar Spam.  Hate looking for an area to make my base and can’t because of someone placed pillars there. ?

Is there going to be a new Cluster on Xbox for this dlc?

Will there ever be a dlc in ark mobile. Also will you add mods to ark mobile thanks

THIS IS INSANE!!! Can't wait to see other people play then play myself. Glad the game didn't just stay a dinosaur game.

Will it release on console on the 13th or will it be delayed again??? 

We need ARK movie about events with Helena, Rockwell and others. Oh how I wish they would make it! And if yes, I really hope it looks as badass as those live action trailers ♥

You need to have at least one Legacy PVE Extinction Server. IF not that wont help with the taming cap like you said the cryopods would solve. If there is no Legacy extinction server, then Legacy PVE no way to learn the engrams for the cryopods. Please fix.

Is it only me that I hear Pacific Rim's theme when I see the Jäegers - er Meks?
