Survivors, get ready for a massive update! Ark: Survival Ascended has just dropped two game-changing additions: the stunning Ragnarok Ascended map and the intriguing Lost Colony Expansion Pass. From sprawling new biomes to exclusive tames and tools, there’s a lot to explore in this latest release.
Ragnarok Ascended: A Remastered Wilderness
The iconic Ragnarok map has been reborn as Ragnarok Ascended, now spanning an impressive 144km² of untamed terrain. With jaw-dropping biomes like Fire, Frost, and Fabled Adventure, plus revamped areas such as Dragon’s Reach and Viking Bay, there’s no shortage of adventure. Four exclusive isles—Scotland Isles, Alpines, Redwoods Expansion, and Desert Isles—offer fresh challenges and breathtaking scenery.
Creature enthusiasts will love the new tameable Bison and breedable Griffin, while thrill-seekers can test their mettle against Nunatak, the colossal Ice Wyvern, in a brand-new boss arena. Defeating this beast rewards legendary TEK gear—worth the fight! Check out the Ragnarok screenshots for a closer look.
