ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion

Good evening ladies and gentlemen!!! This is your (UBER LATE) Ark Community News.

Before we begin, I want to start by saying I will leave a full review of the content and lore added behind the recent addition of Lost Colony. Anyway, back to the news.

First things first. I do want to say that the Lost Colony DLC has released!!! With over 13 new entities/creatures, and eight of those being completely tamable. Along with all new skill trees, roaming npcs, new structures and weapons, and dozens of cool skins. The new DLC for ASA has hit with a bang!!!!

In later new from January, Wildcard officially released a roadmap of new content DLC (mind you this does not include remade maps releasing, crossover content and possible Fantastic Tames coming within this time period) coming in the future of ASA. With this year’s DLCs being a revamp and hopefully redoing of Ark’s most beloved battle royale, Survival of The Fittest made and now run by Studio Sirens. The creators of Aquatica... Which should come between March and May.

Followed by Tides and Fortunes, the first of two Bob True Tales expansions which will release alongside the free DLC editions of Genesis Part I and Part II. This DLC is being looked at releasing Quarter II of 2026 (which for all will most likely spell out being released in July and/or August). This DLC will bring urge of booty stealing and da love of da sea to those who have an itch to be their inner Jack Sparrow as you command the sea as a filthy sea lubber. Or maybe even a scaly wag. As this DLC will most definitely be bringing Pirate themed adventures to the new and extremely expanded oceans of Genesis Part I.

The next DLC for 2026 will be that of a mini in game Dev Kit, which will be called World Creators. This is planned to release Quarter III of 2026. And is promised to be a way for Console and PC players to make their own maps and share them in the community mod page. So to those who fancy their world building and creator style building games. World Creators will be the DLC for you.

The last new paid DLC to be announced to release for Quarter IV of 2026 is by far the most anticipated DLC bt the community. Which is called Dragontopia. This DLC by Wildcard has promised to bring a HTTYD style of gameplay to their new dragons releasing with this map. Giving you more of a growing partnership with these animals over the instant domesticated animals we have in Ark currently. While not much has been said. Everyone has their ears perked in hopes of a HTTYD crossover with this new map.

And while this is the only officially revealed stuff for 2026. Next years content for 2027 has also been announced with Nekatus making a new map called Atlantis, the Star Wars themed DLC of Galaxy Wars: Bob’s True Tales for Genesis Part II newly expanded space biome, and a special edition of what is called Legacy of Santiago releasing at the end of 2027.

Speaking of Nekatus, Nekatus has announced his new content releasing for his largest map yet. The Greek Wonder that is Astraeos. This update which he calls his Mega Update releases thw new finished island of Pyranthos. The new desert wasteland filled to the brim with caves, new environments, and ruin. New monsters fill this land with such monsters being the Scorpian King, Scorpian Queen, the giant minotaur Minotarchos, the tamable Grand Tortugar. And the epic boss that is the Hydra. There will be so much more to unpack within the next few days. As the release of the Mega Update that is Pyranthos releases February 25th of this year.

And that, is surprisingly all of the recent Ark Community News of these past few months!!!
