ARK: Survival Ascended Roadmap Reveals 2 Years of Plans

ARK: Survival Ascended's Extended Content Roadmap Unveiled

Studio Wildcard has recently unveiled an expansive content roadmap for ARK: Survival Ascended, extending through late 2026. This ambitious plan details a significant upgrade to Unreal Engine 5.5, promising substantial performance improvements and the return of Nvidia's frame generation. The roadmap also includes a phased rollout of remastered maps and exciting new creatures.

Key Highlights of the Roadmap:

• Unreal Engine 5.5 Upgrade (March 2025): This crucial update will pave the way for improved performance and streamlined DLC delivery, allowing players to download individual map packs.

• New Maps and Creatures: The roadmap includes the release of several remastered maps, including Ragnarok Ascended (April 2025), Valguero Ascended (August 2025), Genesis Ascended (Parts 1 & 2 in April and August 2026 respectively), and Fjordur Ascended (December 2026). These releases will be accompanied by a mix of free community-voted creatures (Bison, and others to be voted on) and premium "Fantastic Tames." A new premium map will also launch in June 2025.

• Bob's True Tales: This previously announced content, part of the game's season pass, will be released in two parts alongside the Genesis Ascended updates.

• Community Involvement: Studio Wildcard is actively engaging the community by allowing votes on upcoming free creatures.

The roadmap provides a high-level overview of the planned content. While not exhaustive, it promises a steady stream of updates and expansions for ARK: Survival Ascended over the next two years, ensuring players have plenty of new content to explore. Further details on the new premium map and other surprises are expected in the coming months.
