Survivors, the countdown is almost over! On September 4th, dive into the new Aberration Ascended for ARK: Survival Ascended and explore fresh challenges. For those with Bob's Tall Tales, the Steampunk Ascent expansion is ready to take you even further into the unknown.
Time: Later in the day US Schedule -- we'll have a more accurate timeframe on release day!
Rates: We'll be increasing the rates for Aberration Official Servers to be equivalent to our 2x evolution events (so 1x servers get increased to 2x, and non-1x servers get a +2 increase on their rates), and this will run for the first two weeks of Aberration's launch
And a quick update on some of the different projects we've been working on:
AMD FidelityFX Frame Interpolation: This is working on all platforms, across all hardwares. So with the Aberration launch, players can expect to see an approximate 80% performance gain on consoles and PC (assuming they weren't already using frame generation).
Unreal Engine 5.4: The upgrade work is mostly complete. However, we're still putting it through our internal QA processes as there are a lot of changes that we need to make sure are stable before we can release this out to the wild. We're currently targeting sometime between October 15th and November 15th as the launch window for this update.
Aberration Ascended is more than just a map— it’s a complex ecosystem filled with dangers and beauty. Its treacherous landscape of eerie caves and intricate biomes will be yours to explore. Additionally, the free community-voted creature, Yi Ling, will join your ranks. This agile, wall-climbing raptor brings a deadly edge to your survival strategy with its razor-sharp quills and ability to adapt to many situations.
Bob's Tall Tales will expand once more with Steampunk Ascent, an expansion that takes you beyond the underground chaos of Aberration and into a world where gears, cogs, and steam power reign supreme. This paid expansion is free for all current Bob's Tall Tales owners, offering an exhilarating mix of innovation and adventure. Meet Cosmo, the web-slinging shoulder pet with a knack for getting you out of tight spots, and partner up with Sir-5rM8, your indispensable automaton companion, as you traverse the mechanical marvel of Steampunk Ascent.
Whether you're braving the depths or exploring new heights, we cannot wait to see you thrive in this dangerously alluring and unforgiving environment!
These coordinates correspond to several ratholes on The Center map that are will be fixed with the launch of Aberration. This is just the beginning, and we will continue to monitor and address more in the future.

It may be that the antivirus software has deleted the core files of the game, please try to verify the integrity and confirm whether the antivirus software has a record 3. When it still doesn't work, you can try to leave a message in the Steam discussion forum
- The frame rate of the game is abnormal · Because the graphics card settings override the game settings, turn on V-sync in the graphics card
This month, I've finished most of the development of the big map gamesystem and found a way of using many forms to make complex mission levels. But as development progresses, I realize that I might be able to finish a usable DEMO in October, but it would be far from polished. Releasing it would probably disappoint everyone.
As a result, I had to regretfully pass on participating in the Steam Next Fest in October. The release of Chaos Front DEMO will be delayed until the next Steam Next Fest, which will be in February 2025. This October, I will release the first trailer for Chaos Front instead.
I deeply apologize for the delay of the DEMO. And, the release of the official version of Chaos Front will not change, it will still be in the spring of 2025, maybe around two months after the release of the DEMO.
Now, let's move on to the other two factions we didn't finish introducing last month.
Massilia was the first planet in the Centersea Sector to be colonized by humans, and as such became the shipping center of the entire Sector. At the time of the establishment of the Astronautical Committee, the then president of the local government of Massilia sold out the interests of the people and established the Principality of Massilia with the support of Three Super Powers, proclaiming himself the Duke of the Massilia, anointing the military officers and politicians who supported him as nobles, and suppressing Massilia as the Committee's henchmen.
With the monopoly of the Committee, Massilia lost its former status as a shipping center and its people fell into poverty. Anger accumulated for over twenty years, and a storm of revolution finally overthrew the Principality's government, and the staff, students, soldiers, and workers ...... of the newly formed Revolutionary Council became the masters of Massilia.
The first citizen of the revolutionary government was Charlotte, the Speaker of the Republic. She had worked as a lawyer for five years helping the poor people in their lawsuits and gradually realized that the greatest source of the people's suffering was precisely the exploitation of the Astronautical Committee and that only the overthrow of the Committee's tyranny throughout the galaxy could bring true happiness. With her determined lobbying and organizing, many important political and military figures joined the revolution. After the founding of the Republic, Charlotte was elected Speaker of the Republic. In the minds of the people, she seemed to be the embodiment of uncorrupted revolutionary ideals.
The Black Flag, an ally of the Revolutionary Army, was originally the Fleet Tertius of the Committee Army from the Qilin Dynasty. During the Great Rebellion that destroyed the Old Union, the Qilin Dynasty, which once had hopes of unifying the galaxy, fell into schism when the Emperor was poisoned and died. The Eight Wardens, who commanded the Eight Legions as the Emperor's arms, fought each other and lost half of their power in political struggles, plots assassinations, and bloody wars. In the end, the House Yuan became the highest-ranking Grand Warden, married the daughter to the new emperor, and became the behind-the-scenes ruler. The Qilin Dynasty, which had suffered a great deal of damage, also lost its ambition and accepted the proposal made by the other Super Powers to co-manage the Galaxy in the form of the Committee.
The House Li, one of the Eight Wardens, survived the hegemonic government politics of the Grand Warden due to humility and luck and got through a succession for the House head. However, the powerful House Li was always suspected by the House Yuan. With the outbreak of the Centersea War, the three Super Powers were obliged to send their fleets to suppress Massilia. Grand Warden Yuan Wen came up with the idea of killing two birds with one stone by ordering Li Cunyi, the head of the House Li, to lead the Li's subordinates in an expedition to Centersea Sector as the Commander-in-Chief of the Fleet Tertius. This not only banished Li Cunyi from the power center of the dynasty but also depleted the reputation and strength of the House Li in a war without righteousness.
However, after the House Li fleet arrived at the Bazhou Planet in the Centersea Sector, Li Cunyi suddenly ordered the entire army to remove the flag of the Qilin Dynasty, paint their ships and arms black, expel all the committee bodies in the neighboring planets, and send out alliance emissaries to the Revolutionary Army. The Black Flag was born. Li Cunyi, who has been humbling in silence for a mission no one knows, finally rises as a dragon emerges from the abyss and is about to start the legend of the Black Admiral.
That's all for today, let's look forward to next month's trailer!
When spotted by the enemy: · Enhanced enemy discovery sound · Added text indicating the cause of discovery · Added a system alarm tone when being pursued The reasons for being found include but are not limited to the following: · Holding contraband (swinging sticks) · Taking hostages ・ Body removal · Body found · Changing clothes and camouflage
Welcome to this week's update! As promised, today is all about enemies. So let's get right into the goodies!
Zorb Joins The Battle
Welcome Zorb, one of our new enemies! He functions similarly to Zorbius, just less powerful, only shooting once and having significantly less health. He will still teleport around the room.
Is This A ... Minic?
The Minic is another new enemy for this week. It likes to hide among Mines until you get close, which will then lead to it running erratically around the room and exploding shortly after. You can knock it back with your sword or other attacks if gets too close. Fire attacks will make them detonate immediately!
Many Enemies Now Have a Golden Variant
We've added Golden variants for many existing enemies! They have significantly more health, are faster and deal a lot more damage, so watch out!
Big Doors Have Been Given a Makeover
We've given Big Doors the makeover they deserved, so enjoy all their new glory!
Stairwells Have Been Made More Visually Intuitive
Additionally, we've overhauled the appearance of stairwells to make it a lot easier to visually see which way floor they take you. I hope y'all appreciate this!
Look At All Those Chickens
What are these chickens doing in Castle Town?
Give this puppy some love!
What's Next
Next week, we will be giving Castle Town a big update! Stay tuned for that. See you next week!
Hello friends, You'll be able to enjoy the game in Brazilian Portuguese now, thanks to amazing Rahone Marcelino, who translated the Goblin and Coins II base game also a year ago. There was also a report of a minor bug that required a very specific situation to occur to manifest, but thanks to a very good error report by Elrinda, it's been dealt with and shouldn't pose any issues in the future.
I hope you're having fun, and if you do - don't forget to let your friends know.
List of changes/improvements/new features:
