ARK: Mobile Edition Rolls Out Genesis Part 1

by Ethan Jan 17,2026
  • Ark: Ultimate Mobile Edition is releasing its new Genesis Part 1 expansion
  • Embark on story-driven missions within a virtual simulation
  • Discover diverse environments, from deep ocean trenches to low-gravity lunar landscapes

Ark: Ultimate Mobile Edition already delivers the ultimate sci-fi dinosaur survival experience on mobile, with massive prehistoric creatures to battle and tame, plus the constant challenge of other players. Now, the adventure grows even larger and more perilous with the arrival of the Genesis Part 1 expansion, available for purchase today!

Unlike the previous Extinction expansion, Genesis Part 1 shifts focus from new sandbox maps to Ark's underlying narrative. You awaken trapped inside a mysterious virtual simulation, guided by your robotic companion, HLN-A. To survive, you must complete a series of story-driven missions, gradually unraveling the truth behind your predicament.

These missions are no simple task; they will push your combat, exploration, and strategic skills to the limit. Navigate through haunting swamps and erupting volcanoes, dive into deep aquatic abysses, and traverse low-gravity lunar surfaces. Each area teems with bizarre new wildlife, including Magmasaurs, enormous sea turtles, and even space whales.

ytAre you kidding?!

While Ark: Ultimate Mobile Edition's core game is free-to-play, expansions like Genesis Part 1 require a separate purchase. Previous expansions have been priced at $5.99. Another option is the ARK Subscription Pass, available for $4.99 per month, which grants access to all current and upcoming expansion packs, along with premium benefits like the God Console for single-player worlds.

If you're planning to dive into Genesis Part 1, watch for special discounts celebrating the Ark franchise's 10th anniversary, featuring a 20% reduction on Keys, the in-game currency.
