Exciting times ahead for survivors in Ark: Survival Ascended! The newest Community Crunch brings a wave of updates that promise to enhance your dino-taming adventures, from map expansions to charity-driven creature makeovers.
Valguero Ascended Set to Transform Exploration
Get ready to dive into fresh territories as Valguero Ascended approaches its launch. This revamped map will offer players new biomes and challenges, perfect for building epic bases and discovering hidden secrets. As a player-favorite from the original game, its arrival in Ark: Survival Ascended could shake up server dynamics and encourage creative survival strategies.
What's the Buzz on Modded Server Transfers?
Alongside the map drop, transfers for modded servers like The Volcano and Lost City are opening up.
