Hey survivors! We hope you're all soaking up the summer sun! We've got some news that's ready to jump right into your day. Meet Cosmo, our latest creature for Bob's Tall Tales: Steampunk Ascent! Download in full resolution "It's hard to squish a friend who jumps into your heart as well as your hand." - Bob (probably) Cosmo, a little beacon of light in a dark and aberrant subterranean land, will be available as your loyal companion in the Aberration edition of Bob's Tall Tales: Steampunk Ascent! Buy the expansion pass now on Steam, XBOX or PlayStation! We're currently targeting the release of the Unreal Engine 5.4 upgrade as part of the Aberration and Bob's Tall Tales: Steampunk Ascent on September 4. UE 5.4 improves the efficiency of the rendering system, making it much more parallelized for an approximate 20% overall performance boost on all platforms. It also improves memory management, reduces hitching/stalling, and provides more forward-looking graphics improvements, such as better, longer-range Lumen results - which will all be immediately noticeable when the upgrade is released. If the upgrade is delayed past September 4 due to risk management, the Aberration release will proceed as planned, and the ASA UE 5.4 upgrade will be released as soon as possible. Simultaneously, we're also working on preparing an AMD FSR 3.1 integration for the September 4 release on all platforms. It is a better, cross-platform version of "frame generation," which uses AI to interpolate frames, resulting in a perceived doubling of framerate with minimal artifacting - and it works on both AMD AND NVIDIA cards. It will be enabled by default when we release it, but it can, of course, be turned off. We will deprecate support for NVIDIA Framegen once FSR 3.1 releases, as FSR 3.1 works on consoles and, thus, is a better technical focus for our team. When these two features are released, we expect ASA will run far better and have lower system requirements. Finally, by the end of the year, we'll release a "low system requirements" launch option, which will, with some graphical sacrifices, lower the effective 30 FPS system requirements down to the NVIDIA 1080 series of cards.

We've hit a snag with the Genesis Part 2 release and are unfortunately delaying the release to July 31st, alongside the Rhyniognatha, which will be found spawning around The Island. The DLC and patch have passed certification with Nintendo, but some backend issues are preventing a smooth launch. We know this is not exciting news to hear but it's important to ensure all players around the globe can play upon its release. We thank you for your patience.

With colossal jaws, it crushes the bones of its prey, making escape nearly impossible. This apex predator’s presence makes every step near the water’s edge a perilous gamble!

Fan Art Gallery | Screenshot Gallery | Artist Feedback Form This season, Monarky is taking over the Center one grid at a time. Teams of four are divided by biomes and can initially only explore and build within one grid of the map. Each week, they compete to earn more grid squares, expanding their territory and aiming to conquer the entire map. However, they must be cautious—venturing into unclaimed grids drains their health, and entering enemy grids spells trouble. In Monarky VI: Grid Wars, biomes battle biomes. Teams must make do with their initial grid space until they win new crowns through grueling (but fun!) events. Failure leads to the consequences of Loser Island. At the end of the season, only one team will stand above the rest. So, who do you think will outwit, outplay, and outlast?

The sun's out, and so is our much-anticipated Summer Bash! Our Sarco's are on, and the grill is fired up, so come and join us in the celebration that runs until July 17th. With a beach-themed Club ARK, a new activity, and fresh new skins, there's something for everyone to enjoy!

Get your Fasolasuchus ready to explore the majestic Red Woods! It goes without saying that supporting modders is a very integral part of ASA’s development. A lot of the work we’ve been doing has been functionality based by providing more power to UGC creators in the Devkit itself, however we’ve also been working on some improvements at a platform level! We've made significant improvements to our moderation methods with pipeline improvements, as well as increasing our moderation capacity. As a result, Cross-Platform mods can expect a maximum moderation time of 24 hours from submission (earlier in most cases). Reminder that PC-only mods are not affected by this level of moderation, and are instead published immediately. We’re also working on some cooking pipeline improvements so that mods can get cooked faster and we’re hoping to roll that out in the weeks ahead, and the team is hard at work on delivering the previously mentioned Unrestricted Premium Mod system. On April 8th, we deployed a new type of server across the network (for the various game types) that we refer to as "Expire" (which is what you can search for in the session filter). These servers will be online until 10 am PST / 1 pm EST on August 3rd. We're preemptively using our allocation for Aberration to host some additional sessions that players can travel onto to farm, tame, and experience The Center Gameplay. The same transfer restrictions apply in that you are only able to download your character, but you can freely take anything off. This is to help reduce load off some of the other servers, or provide players an option for those who just want to jump onto The Center temporarily. Please note that these servers will no longer exist after 10 am PST / 1 pm EST on August 3rd, so if you intend to use them, remember to transfer your items/creatures/characters off before that date, as nothing will be saved beyond that time period. Transfers are coming to the Official Modded Servers! From Wednesday 17th July, 10am PST/1pm EST, players can move items, creatures, and characters between a set of modded maps. The servers will be merged to create clusters, two to be exact, and these clusters contain the group of servers players can travel between. A list of the servers on each cluster can be found below. It’s important to note that anything left in uploads on the Official Modded Servers will be lost if you don’t download what you want to keep before next Wednesday, and any content that is exclusive to a mod/specific mod server cannot transfer to another one. For example, a creature that is exclusive or specific to Svartalfheim cannot be transferred to a different map.
