The reason for that is because it started with Scorched Earth being delayed by a month, then the center was 2 months and it just snowballed from there.  Also remember what information came out the summer of 2023 and into the fall.  Not all of this might have been WC choice, not trying to defend them just pointing out that there were bigger things at play surrounding this roadmap and how things got released.

Happy New Year and welcome back, we hope you had a fantastic holiday season and are feeling rested after spending quality time with family, friends, and dinos! We’re going to cut straight to chase and bring you in to take a quick glance at a very high-level ASA content roadmap.

Get ready for the next chapter in the ARK universe, ARK: Lost Colony drops this November, with pre-orders starting in April, when you’ll be able to enhance your immediate survival with early access to new gameplay systems and exclusive content.


Prior to Lost Colony’s November launch, the team also has scheduled these major content releases:

  • March 2025: ASA Unreal Engine 5.5 update
  • April 2025: Free Ragnarok Ascended, Bison (Free Creature), and a Fantastic Tame
  • June 2025: A new premium map in June (to be announced)
  • August 2025: Free Valguero Ascended with a community-voted free creature, and Fantastic Tame

With the ongoing work throughout the year, we want to take a bit more time to give the Genesis Ascended remaster the love and attention it deserves, and we’re now looking at:

  • April 2026: Free Genesis Ascended Part 1 & Bob's True Tales Part 1
  • August 2026: Free Genesis Ascended Part 2 & Bob's True Tales Part 2
  • December 2026: Free Fjordur Ascended with a community-voted free creature
  • Three Fantastic Tames spread throughout the year

Over the course of the year, we’ll be sharing juicy details, sneak peeks, and reveals about all of this and more in our crunches, so stay tuned for more news!

We still have a lot more going on behind the scenes so let’s touch on a few things the team’s currently working on: 

  • There’s steady progress being made on the Unreal Engine 5.5 upgrade, which will bring a range of impactful performance improvements along with our ongoing work splitting DLC maps into optional downloads so you’ll have more control over your storage space. 
  • Nvidia Frame Generation is also a priority, and we’re aiming to reintroduce it as an option very soon – we’re as eager to get it back in as you are to have it! 

Throw in some more surprise content additions, and we’re looking at a jam-packed first quarter of 2025!

Since returning from the break, the team has been busy reviewing the feedback you've shared with us about Extinction and Bob's Tall Tales: Wasteland War. Your bug reports have been invaluable, and we want to extend a massive thanks to everyone who took the time to help us identify and address these issues.


Here’s what we’re focusing on right now:

  • Creature spawning issues: We’re working on various creature spawn issues across Extinction.
  • Battle rig functionality: Some of you have reported hiccups with the rigs, and we’re diving into the mechanics to ensure they’re running smoothly.
  • Crash fixes: Stability is a top priority for us, and we’re tackling crashes reported during gameplay, particularly on specific hardware configurations.
  • General improvements: Addressing bug reports that came in with the Extinction launch
  • Fixing exploits: We’ve been iterating quickly on exploits that violate our Code of Conduct. Please report players breaking the CoC here

These updates will arrive along with a slew of miscellaneous bug fixes and improvements such as a bunch of Armadoggo fixes/QoL, fixing harvesting claimed nodes on PVE, various level design fixes (mesh holes etc), extinguisher grenade fixes, Tinkering Desk and more. 

Keep those reports coming, and stay tuned for updates as we roll out a slew of fixes and improvements!


OfficialModdedServerUpdate.png

On Monday, January 13, Official Modded servers will receive config and settings updates:

  • Nyrandil will be added to the cluster
    • Nyrandil players: Please ensure there’s nothing in your cloud storage, as the merge will remove all items.
  • Atlantis transfers will open.
  • Appalachia transfers will remain closed.

Thank you for your cooperation, and happy surviving!

how will fjordur launch without Crystal Isle's Tropeognathus????

Maybe delay Fjordur to 2027 so more content can come to it and anticipate Crystal Isles??

Who said they had to release the DLC's in order? Both Aberration and Extinction came AFTER Ragnarok in ASE but RAG is coming after both of them here in ASA, Center came before Scorched in ASE but we ended up getting it after in ASA, Hell we were meant to get gigantoraptor with Rag but instead we end ended up getting it before freaking Scorched earth came to ASA, that's a whole FOUR maps before the original plan of releasing it with RAG! so what difference does it make what order the non-canon maps come?

unfortunately is painfully clear the dates are already wrong for this year launch maps, no way they gonna release a map back to back in 2 months seperation, i thought gen 1 was coming at the end of this year but is cleary not even next year, thats how mess up the missions are whit the engine update, they gonna drag this game for another 3 to 4 years to release all maps

honestly a bummed out over this timeline. 4 years of waiting for remastered maps....

Man when you put it like that, it does sound pretty bad. 

I'm having fun in ASA, as there's still a lot of stuff I never accomplished in the old game, but I'm getting bored with each map a little faster than the last.

Cosmo being so fun was the only thing keeping me going in Ab, and I've already slowed down a ton in play time on Extinction.

Now imagine being a PVP player and getting dropped by the devs since the beginning of ASA. I miss the crossark ORP servers because you could play pvp and have a life at the same time and it was more reliable than official, that's not even including the removal of metas with no replacements and the removal of most valid building locations on maps like extinction (which is why server pop numbers for extinction PVP and PVP in general dropped so quickly in ASA) and even the nerfing of some of the most PVP utilized dinos like the velo without even a bat of the eye. That's why the majority of players are still on ASE (which are higher in total player numbers than ASA).

5 more fantastic tames huh? I remember when the phoenix was released for free years after scorched earth first came out. I can understand, perhaps, needing some form of steady income while you work on this but the way you handle these dlcs is incredibly annoying. Even if you don't own them they will take up spawn spaces on the server unless turned off, every person needing the purchase them is also just a massive pain and honestly it's just better for a server to disable them. I don't wanna live in the pay per dino world. I enjoyed bobs tall tales and the various expansions and I'm excited for lost colony but every fantastic tame sort of just leaves a sour taste in my mouth that I just won't wanna deal with.

How do you turn them off? The INI codes to do so have never worked for me on ASA despite supposedly being the same between games. Hell I can't even add dinos either because those codes don't work either.
