Planning to expand the ARK storyline, ARK: Genesis begins a brand new chapter for ARK: Survival Evolved. The massive expansion introduces brand new mission-based gameplay that takes players on a journey through beautiful yet deadly new worlds filled with exotic creatures, craftable items, and weapons unlike anything seen before in the ARK: Survival Evolved universe.
You can check out the DLC launch trailer above.
At the start of this giant expansion, players wake up inside a virtual simulation beside the ‘HLN-A’ companion, a floating AI created by Helena Walker, the biologist who wrote the lore-filled notes in ARK: Survival Evolved. As a team, they will have to endure the simulation’s rigorous tests, and as players fight, build, tame, and explore within this new world, they will uncover the secrets behind the simulation.
ARK: Genesis - Part 1 provides players with a multitude of brand new beautiful, yet deadly biomes to explore. Players will learn to survive in alien bogs, deep undersea trenches, frigid mountain peaks, and even an alien moon! In order to conquer each area, players will need to keep their wits about them as they prepare for any scenario that might cause them to lose the ancient game of survival.
Dangerous creatures inhabit the mystical world of ARK: Genesis: including island-sized sea turtles, shapeshifting furries, elegant astral whales, and fireball shooting Magmasaurs! To help you survive against these terrifying creatures, and the harsh environment, the expansion provides many new weapons, tools, structures to craft!
Players can craft tools ranging anywhere from fishing nets to mining drills, or new vehicles such as hover-skiffs. When it comes to shelter, you can build interactive structural elements such as pressure plates, alarm systems, jump pads, ocean platforms and much more!
