Studio Wildcard has announced that feline friends are making their way to the dinosaur-filled world of Ark: Survival Ascended. Players will soon be able to tame these "unpredictable little goblins" as companions in their prehistoric survival adventures.
Cats Claw Their Way Into Ark's Ecosystem
In a playfully titled announcement called "The Cat: Out Meow," Studio Wildcard revealed that cats have officially joined the diverse creature roster in Ark: Survival Ascended. These feline survivors have apparently thrived beyond the end of the world, bringing their distinctive blend of charm and chaos to the game.
The announcement video showcases these new tameable companions in action, highlighting how cats will integrate into the existing gameplay mechanics of Ark: Survival Ascended. Players can look forward to adding these "fuzzy little fiends" to their collection of tamed creatures.
Post-Apocalyptic Felines: Unpredictable But Desirable
According to the developers, these cats maintain their infamously unpredictable nature even in a world dominated by dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures. Despite their sometimes chaotic behavior, they're positioned as desirable companions for survivors navigating the harsh wilderness.
What Can Players Expect From Cat Companions?
While specific gameplay details are still emerging, it appears these cats will function similarly to other tameable creatures in the game, offering companionship and potentially unique benefits to players who successfully befriend them. The humorous tone of the announcement suggests these feline friends will bring their characteristic unpredictability to the gameplay experience.

Expanding The Creature Catalog
The addition of cats represents Studio Wildcard's ongoing commitment to expanding the diverse ecosystem of creatures available in the game. While dinosaurs and prehistoric beasts remain the stars of the show, these more familiar companions add another layer of variety to the survival experience.
The announcement concluded with a humorous note suggesting the developer's own cat interrupted the writing process by walking across their keyboard – a familiar experience for cat owners that players might soon replicate in-game.
