ARK: Survival Ascended Expands with Free Desert Map, Premium DLC

ARK: Survival Ascended, the adventure game set in a world of domesticated battle dinosaurs, continues to evolve with exciting new content. As announced by Snail Games, players can anticipate the arrival of the Scorched Earth Expansion Map and Bob's Tall Tales DLC, enriching their gaming experience with fresh challenges and stories.

Bob's Tall Tales DLC Brings Adventure with Famous Voices

Karl Urban, who you might know from "The Boys" and "Star Trek," is lending his voice to a character named Bob in the new DLC. Alongside Auli'i Cravalho, famous for her role in "Moana," they'll take you on wild adventures.

The DLC tells stories through Bob's notes, with the first one called Frontier Showdown happening in a place called Scorched Earth. There, you'll build cool Western-style stuff and meet new dinos like the Oasisaur, which helps you out in tricky situations.

Scorched Earth Expansion Map

On April 1, 2024, the free Scorched Earth Expansion Map tested players' skills in a harsh desert. They faced sandstorms and tricky creatures like the Fasolasuchus, a scary crocodile-looking thing hiding in the sand. But if they managed to tame it, they got a strong friend to help them out.

ARK: The Animated Series Joins the Fun

If you're a fan of "ARK: The Animated Series" on Paramount+, you'll be happy to know there's some crossover stuff happening. You can unlock special skins based on characters from the show, like Helena, Bob, Dodo, and Scary the Parasaur, right in the game.

ARK: Survival Ascended is all about adventure, crafting, and exploring. With stunning graphics and the ability to play with friends on different systems, it's a game worth checking out. So, if you're ready to face the challenges of the desert or join Bob on his epic quests, now's your chance! You can play ARK: Survival Ascended on PC, Xbox Series X/S, and PS5 in Early Access.
