Exciting news for survivors! Ark: Survival Evolved has just dropped its first major expansion for ARK: Survival Ascended (ASA), titled Lost Colony. Set in the chilling, war-torn wasteland of Arat Prime, this expansion promises a gripping cinematic storyline and fresh gameplay mechanics that will test even the toughest players.
Dive into Arat Prime's Frozen Battleground
Arat Prime, the birthplace of the ARKs, sets the stage for an epic journey in Lost Colony. This frozen city, scarred by conflict, connects the narratives of ARK Extinction and Genesis, paving the way to ARK 2. Voiced by Michelle Yeoh as Mei Yin and animated by MAPPA, the storyline immerses players in a battle against Element-powered factions. Your mission? Unite heroes from across ARK's timeline to save the day.
New Powers and Gear Await
Survivors can unlock unique powers and forge 'Cursed' gear to face Arat Prime's challenges. A new Lost Skill Tree offers customization paths for taming, exploring, or pure survival, letting you tailor your playstyle. These additions bring a fresh layer of strategy to the game we know and love.
What's Included in the Lost Colony Expansion Pass?
The Lost Colony Expansion Pass, available now, is packed with immediate bonuses. From miniature dragon tames called Drakelings to Veilwyn, a companion with powerful buffs, there's plenty to explore. Other perks include a new skill tree with milestone-based progression, the Template Hammer for base-building, TEK Bunker for underground expansions, and gothic DarkTek cosmetics. Full access to the expansion is set for December 2025.
