    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?

    large_04.jpg

    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

    large_05.jpg

    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.

    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

    large_10.jpg

    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

    large_14.jpg

    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.

    large_18.jpg

    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!

    So two days after the release and meks are already way to op and game breaking. Tell me how are you suppose to defend against something that can destroy turrets from a safe distance. You guys had how long to work on this dlc and not one of you could think about the pvp implications ? You guys really should try playing your own game.

    Hey Wildcard, I absolutely love your game, but it's got some problems(especially with this new dlc) that need to be fixed. I would recommend you watch Kishkos video about the exploits that are currently happening with Extinction(and ark in general). The new map is fantastic, but only if you're playing singleplayer or PVE. For pvp players, it's hell. The Mek exploit is well known, but the snow owl's ability to freeze anyone(or any tame) permanently is extremely frustrating. In small tribes I was running and a guy did the dive bomb and froze me. I couldn't move away fast enough as i saw him dive, and once you're frozen you are done, they can just bola you. Can you please make it so it can only slow down opponents(like the ice wyvern) or something else to nerf this ability? The owl is extremely overpowered right now, and needs to be nerfed. Also, Velonosaurs shouldn't be able to go into turret mode, they dont take up any stamina if you aren't riding them, so you can just put them on turret mode, grab it with a Quetzal(or even a pteranodon for some reason) and fly it around, letting it kill EVERYTHING. The majority of your player base is PVP, so if you don't fix these issues soon, a lot of people are going to quit. PLEASE do something!

    Bruh, i think you misunderstand entirely. You see, ark is great. absolutely fantastic, but if you're a pvp player, all your hard work goes down the drain due to exploits and hacks. Hacking isn't nearly as big an issue on console, at least Xbox, as my friend has played it for over a year and not ran into any.

    You obviously don't play pvp so you wont understand spending months on a base and then watching some guys destroy it from across the map in minutes because the devs couldnt test their new content.

    Most of us waiting for the console release have had it ruined by pc players uploading to YouTube. You need to release some mods on console to make up for it.

    Hey Wildcard, for the release of Extinction on console, can you PLEASE remove the host barrier, I can tell its going to be close to impossible to play on the map without even extending it just a bit, I think I speak for all console players when I say this. It just drives everyone crazy, and I'm telling you now, if you want Extinction to be fun for your console players, please remove/extend the host barrier.

    Wildcard, great game, pathetic management.  I run Linux.  I'm on an official pve server.  The server remains up and running, and I'm locked out as you cannot bother to send an update to the client for linux.  At this point I expect to have to replace all my critters.  What I have will starve by the time you allow me to play again.  What really hurts is the hours I've spent raising critters for better levels and stats.  Bugs not withstanding, I enjoy the game.  I detest the management.
