Greetings and Salutations Bria!!!! Welcome to Achatina!!! I’m not quite sure who those people you mentioned are, and what stories they’ve written. But they sound quite cool!!! I have read your first three chapters to Under Nirvana and I have quite enjoyed them!!!! They seem unique yet at the same time, they seem familiar. I can’t put my finger on it… I’ve really enjoyed them and I can’t wait to see what happens in the next few chapters!!!!
Break-It, Thank you!!! I have made a good recovery now and am back on track to finish the next chapter of Ultimus (which should be out at the latest, next week). Hope to see you around more too Break-It!!!!
Nexus, I’ll check your hotspot out soon, and I’m not quite sure who does the News broadcast. They seem to enjoy it!!!
Anyways, Until Next Time!!!

Sunny!!! Good to see ya around!! Been busy but good!! Just had my Birthday so that was fun!!
Working on chapter 28 of Ultimus right now then I’ll be jumping into Journey for a while!! So that will be fun!!!
Aston, No problem. Everyone reads on their own time, so no rush!! Hope you enjoy them when you get the chance though!! A lot of them are great!!!
Until Next Time!!!
-PrimalApex:)
MrGhostGamer, Stop diminishing your importance here!!! Everyone notices!!! I’ve been waiting for new chapters of Hope’s Call and Life Before!!! So quit saying no one notices you not being here or no one cares!!!
It has indeed been quiet, probably because of school for most. I am about halfway ready for Ultimus Chapter 19 to release and I asked Ben to take over for the rest of the chapter of TOT, it’s almost finished though. But I don’t know if he can do it yet but Wyvernian said he would do it if Ben couldn’t. Speaking of,
Ben, Alternative Timeline is Awesome!!! I can’t wait for the next chapters!!!
Until Next Time!!!

Aston, if you want to look at list of the stories here. I’d suggest going to the dodo(dex) fan fiction fandom (without the parentheses). It has 90% of all of the stories on here. And where to find most of them. I don’t remember where you were last at on The Obelisk, I can help shorten your search for what chapter you were last on (it goes through tameable category and it starts from Achatina and ends in Plesiosaur).
If you are looking for anyone else’s stories, just go to the fandom. It requires no account to look at it.

Good Evening Ladies and Gentlemen, this is your Ark Community News.
Within the last few weeks of posting my last News Broadcast. Wildcard has released a wide variety of content announcements.
With the first being the reveal of the newest community voted creature. The Paleoctopus, the Genesis Part I Ocean Biome Creature. With Wildcard releasing this statement to go with our new Kraken of the depths. “ When exploring the wide underwater biomes, you may notice two very different moods beneath the waves. Sometimes the calm is shattered by a sudden, violent surge—a frantic rush of ink and power that suggests the depths have finally lost their patience. Other times, the seabed gains an extra stone… a coral formation grows a few more “branches”… and the ocean floor becomes suspiciously still.
Disturb it at the wrong moment, and survivors will learn quickly that those eight arms aren’t just for show.‘ end quote. The Paleoctopus will be releasing with Genesis Part I this June.
Last Week, Wildcard then announced a new creature releasing for Astraeos this summer. The Boaratos is a literal Hellfire Pig, having tusks and a mane partially made up of fire. Being nearly twice the size of our current Hellpig, the Daeodon. This will be a walking fiery, tamable judgment for the bext big Astraeos update. This creature was originally created and designed by Dragonheart, the mod developer for creatures like Hapipalus, Desolatitan, Sanguivern and many other of the Overseer Experiment mods (which was what Boaratos was originally).
Lastly for newly announced Ark creatures. The next Ark Additions mod for official release has been announced. Which is also the closest to releasing out of these creatures announced. With the Acrocathosaurus releasing March 31st as an official addition to Ark. Leaving the Concavenator, Brachiosaurus, Deinocheirus, Suchomimus, and Velociraptor (with now the possibility of Shantungosaurus coming to official as well since Garuga achieved all the donations needed for its modded version) left for official releases.
Finally, Ark has also given their first actual reveals to the next two big DLC projects coming to Ark.
With the first one that should be releasing is Bob’s True Tales coming with also Genesis Part I, Tides and Fortune. If this sounds a bit pirate-ish of a theme to you. That is because Tides and Fortune’s theme is that of the scurvy sea dogs. Being a fully pirated theme addition to the new fully map seas being added to Genesis Part I, these seas will be bordering all of the main original map biomes and borders of the original map of Genesis Part I. And will come with semi procedural islands and NPC forts to fight against. Tides and Fortune’s will be adding new ships unique from Ark’s sister game, Atlas, and will also most likely be adding a new creature, new gear, and new skins for your characters/creatures. This will be releasing alongside Ark Genesis Part I and has already announced to be a Paid DLC.
With the final properly announced DLC coming to Ark being ASA: World Creator. That’s right, for those who are too poor to own the Xbox Dev Kit or are simply unable to download the 2 Terabyte Dev Kit on PC. Wildcard has found a way to fix that (kind of?) with ASA: World Creator. You will be able to create (with limited* power) your own modded maps for Ark and be able to share them with the Ark Community. Now, by limited power, I do mean that you will not be able to do anything like add your own assets into your Arks. All assets will either be pre-created assets from other Official Arks, OR, assets made and released onto the mod page. With Wildcard specifically saying quote “ Want to build your own ARK world without learning the Dev Kit? With the in-game ASA World Creator, players on any platform, including consoles, can design their own maps directly within ARK and share them with others via the Mod Browser.
While creators won’t be able to make new art assets or perform the deep construction associated with the full Dev Kit, the system provides powerful tools for building playable worlds. Creators will be able to place and modify actors, create reusable templates, edit their properties, adjust overall world settings, configure volumes and spawners, add mods and skin packs, and implement simple gameplay logic through a brand new scripting layer that combines Lua scripting with a Blueprint API.
Everything shown in the screenshot is part of the in-game interface, including the full GUI and property editing tools!‘ end quote. ASA: World Creator will be releasing sometime in Quarter 3 of 2026, and this will be a Paid DLC.
And while these were the only announced DLCs. Ark does plan to release a new version of Survival of the Fittest being run by Ark Aquatica’s team, Studio Sirens (this will be an Unpaid DLC, I think, though take this with a pinch of salt, as it could be very much a Paid Expansion). And Wildcard has went onto say that there are plans for a Dragon Themed Paid DLC, called Dragontopia, which is expected to release at the end of 2026. With a high chance of several Crossover Mods with other games or IP’s, and possibly new Fantastic Tames coming throughout 2026. And plenty more Paid Content for 2027.
We are also expecting that several free maps, such as Crystal Isles and Lost Island will be potentially releasing this year alongside Genesis Part I and all of these Paid DLCs. And that the five major TLCs will be occurring, with the first expected to be the Areneo TLC.
So expect that 2026 to be a busy year for Ark and full of Ark content!!!!
And that, is your Ark Community News.
To: SangToareGirl, RelatingHen, Break-it
From: Ben
Sang, the Prologue for FATF was nice! Already left my thoughts on the Fandom so I’m going to just leave it here.
RelatingHen, Chapter 17 and 18 of JTAC was good! Nothing much else to say, though I’m curious to see how the Diplocaulus will be utilized for the Cunning cave. In my playthroughs of ARK i’ve never used that creature, I think I used Basilos for the underwater caves since they’re resistant to Cnidarias. Then again my stats are pretty boosted. Also nice to see Nesan again. Also loved how the Alpha Megs got stuck on rocks since that happens all the time when I went through underwater caves, the larger creatures constantly spawned inside the walls. Also I wonder where the rest of Sodden’s stats went if he only has 210 HP. In my playthroughs I like having 350 HP, 350 Stamina, 350 Oxygen, and 350 Weight, with a bit in everything else. Also if he’s Level 71 that means he needs like 30 more levels before he can fight the Dragon, so he might have to do some speed leveling without dying. And it seems Sodden is reaching the end of his journey on the Island. I’m interested to see how he ascends with Serenity and without Terad knowing, and I’m also wondering if anyone else will join him on his mission to destroy the Assassin Heart. I’ll be around for Chap 19. Also, apologies about no page for Creatures of Nightmares yet. The wiki pages aren’t regularly maintained, though it isn’t completely inaccurate. Things like word count or chapter count may be outdated of course due to how quickly they release. We update them whenever we can though. I’ll update the stats for CON soon.
Break-it, read the recent chapters of SOR and they were great! Tim sounds like a fun character, and I can’t wait to see more of him, and Bruce’s powers showing up is a sign that his lineage is finally coming to use. So from what I can tell, Element seems to power him and give him a boost in speed and strength, creates a forcefield based off his nervous system, and Element-type blasts that are destructive and explosive in nature, with the trade off being that he passes out afterwards. Anything i’m missing or getting wrong? Anyway, I’ll be waiting for Chapter 21. Oh yeah, and also Chapter 54 and 55 for The Omega Timeline are almost finished. I believe you will be writing Chapter 56, and if you recall the main theme of the arc we’ll all be working on is a zombie apocalypse. If you recall most of The Omega Timeline takes place in the City or the Shadowkeep, but we’re deviating away from that in this arc and instead placing the characters in specific zones around the City that are basically just portions of the different ARKs (The Island, Scorched Earth, etc and even includes the two portions of the Genesis Ship and all five biomes of the Genesis Simulation along with two custom arks made by Wyvernian called Pandora and Wyveria). Now obviously we’re probably not gonna utilize all of this, but we were thinking for you and Nazgul who is also joining TOT, your first chapters could be similar to me, Sunny, and Wyvernian’s (the first few chapters) where they spawn in their home land (in this case, Bruce would spawn on The Island portion and Nazgul’s Alex would spawn on Ragnarok). Maybe there could be a few zombie encounters, and a chapter or two later your character(s) will meet with others. It’ll help the new writers get used to the new Omega Timeline setting and will build it up. You can even write the chapter now if you want, just know that the zombies are more like Corrupted Creatures from extinction that act like and work like zombies. Just don’t release it until 54 and 55 come out, obviously. Though I think it would be helpful to know which characters you’ll be bringing into TOT? Anyway, whenever you get this respond whenever.
