About This Content

Waking up on ‘Aquatica,’ a crash-landed ARK submerged within a vast underwater biome system, survivors are thrust into exotic challenges never before encountered: extreme environmental hazards, crushing pressures, rapid currents, and a host of extraordinary creatures await within the mysterious depths. On Aquatica, survivors will uncover the potential source of Element and catch a glimpse of what the future holds for those bold enough to endure. Aquatica is the first official DLC to tell a non-canonical mythical story, expanding the ARK universe into new dimensions of survival.

AN ARK CRASH-LANDED

Aquatica places survivors on a damaged ARK that has crash-landed deep within the Atlantic Ocean, predating the events of Extinction. The ARK’s systems failed to purge corruption upon impact, resulting in a fully flooded environment. Unnatural rifts caused by Pure Element have destabilized the surrounding Corrupted Element, leading to extreme transformations. Influenced by the Element itself, the ARK has evolved into a breathtaking, perilous new world to explore.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

Mature Content, specifically violence, can occur against other players or creatures within the fantasy setting of our game at any time and is not gated. This would primarily be demonstrated when players use their fists, melee weapons, ranged weapons, or tamed creatures against other players and/or other creatures. Violence may also be demonstrated when wild npc creatures choose to attack player characters and/or other wild or tamed creatures within the game world. Depictions of and reactions to violence (by targeted player character or creature) are not realistically portrayed and the level of blood associated with these acts is mild and limited.
