What are some stories about the achatina? Memorable achatina stories, wild encounters, and fan fiction.
Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen of Achatina, welcome to tonight’s News across the Ark community.
Tonight, we have officially got our first shot of the Giant Bison. So sit back, adjust your XXXXL pants, and grab your guitar. Because June 2nd will be a doozy as the yodeling cattle rustlers will be out in full force.
While not much is known about the abilities or utilities of the Bison. Its class of use has been teased as a bruiser. Giving us another of our few PvP herbivore damage dealer. Being called a “A heavyweight champion of head butting and highland havoc.” and teasing to a PVE side with “Also packing some surprisingly nourishing qualities for those wise enough to keep it close.”. This surprise reveal mammal has been shown to rival the size of a Wholly Rhino from the teasing CG image. By all accounts of WildCard, the Giant Bison is a welcomed surprise to the release of Ragnarok this June 2nd.
While no news of the UE 5.5 upgrade. This news of the Ragnarok release has stayed the same since their last roadmap. This would give some potential implications that the release date for the UE 5.5 is still the same and that we will see it within the next three weeks.
This has been your most recent coverage of News Across The Arks for Achatina. Goodnight folks.

Chapter one: Taken
Hidden in the darkness of night, gazing up at the moon, was a little creature.
Her green eyes stared up at the claw shaped figure, glowing blueish grey. She curled her tail around her talons as the monkeys overhead howled loudly.
“She’ll be back,” the little creature reminded herself in a quiet whisper. “She will. She has to.”
She lay her head on the ground with a tiny sigh. She glanced back up at the moon.
“I’ll be alright.”
Mischievous laughs from the forest beyond her startled her awake. She tended, listening.
“She got him REAL BAD!” Laughed a voice. “It was hilarious! For a second there it looked like he’d just die of embarrassment!”
“And the look on his FACE!” Said a second, female voice, laughing.
Firefly sank into the ferns to hide as three Raptors walked past, a few meters away. The first one was bright red with pink feathers, and had a small scar acrossed his jaw. The ssecond was the female, blue and green zigzagged all over her feathers and scales.
“He can’t just think he’s soooo special,” the third raptor said, shaking his head. Moonlight filtered through the trees onto his pale orange and grey scales.
The female suddenly burst into laughter. “Yeah, I mean, remember when he was like, ‘BEHOLD! I—‘“
“Am eating a new bug,” the first one joked, and she shoved him over into the ferns.
Firefly shuddered. She’s never seen raptors in real life before. And mother told her that they were nasty killers.
The first two raptors pounced onto one another, laughing happily. Firefly peaked through the leaves and saw that they were smiling, and didn’t look like they…would really…
“Quiet down you two,” the third hissed. “There could be other carnivores anywhere.”
“Right, in the, uh, middle of the night?” The first asked skeptically. They walked forward some more, farther and farther away from Firefly.
But then the third raptor jerked his head up in her direction. She froze, and he sniffed the air. He shushed the other two, and they stiffened with confused expressions, listening.
He stomped over to her hiding spot, hissing under his breath. His eyes narrowed, and he swiveled his head her way. Firefly squeaked and reared back, her eyes wide.
The orange raptor leapt into the air and landed right behind Firefly to pin her down with his talons. “We’ll looky here,” he growled. The two raptors hurried over to see, and exchanged glances.
“A Carnotaur,” the first raptor hissed, sounding bored. “So what, Burr?”
“Whatcha doing alone squirt?” The second asked, baring her teeth. The third raptor—Burr, apparently— lifted her up by the tail, and Firefly curled up as much as she could, slamming her eyes shut.
“Answer!”
“maybe she’s a stowaway,” the second suggested. “ or she can’t speak yet. Hey, little Carno. I’m Streak. Can you talk?”
“Only one way to find out,” Burr said. “We’re takin her with us, alright?”
They shuffled in the underbrush, but didn’t disagree. “OK then. Let’s go.” Burr hissed.
And they took Firefly, to afraid to speak, to wherever they were taking her.
she just had to find out where.
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.
Can Valguero and Steam sale come so I can get Ascended mean the Gigantoraptor is awesome looking so is the Yi Ling, Cosmo, Armadoggo, and Megaraptor but how many Raptors need to be in game? Also Draklings are my new favorite because I've seen videos and pics and it looks awesome not to mention cute. Did you know that Gigantoraptor is one of the biggest or the biggest member of the Ovalraptor family.
