Happy New Year and welcome back, we hope you had a fantastic holiday season and are feeling rested after spending quality time with family, friends, and dinos! We’re going to cut straight to chase and bring you in to take a quick glance at a very high-level ASA content roadmap.



Get ready for the next chapter in the ARK universe, ARK: Lost Colony drops this November, with pre-orders starting in April, when you’ll be able to enhance your immediate survival with early access to new gameplay systems and exclusive content.

Prior to Lost Colony’s November launch, the team also has scheduled these major content releases:

• March 2025: ASA Unreal Engine 5.5 update
  
• April 2025: Free Ragnarok Ascended, Bison (Free Creature), and a Fantastic Tame
  
• June 2025: A new premium map in June (to be announced)
  
• August 2025: Free Valguero Ascended with a community-voted free creature, and Fantastic Tame

With the ongoing work throughout the year, we want to take a bit more time to give the Genesis Ascended remaster the love and attention it deserves, and we’re now looking at:

• April 2026: Free Genesis Ascended Part 1 & Bob's True Tales Part 1
  
• August 2026: Free Genesis Ascended Part 2 & Bob's True Tales Part 2
  
• December 2026: Free Fjordur Ascended with a community-voted free creature
  
• 3 Fantastic Tames spread throughout the year

Over the course of the year, we’ll be sharing juicy details, sneak peeks, and reveals about all of this and more in our crunches, so stay tuned for more news!





We still have a lot more going on behind the scenes so let’s touch on a few things the team’s currently working on:

• There’s steady progress being made on the Unreal Engine 5.5 upgrade, which will bring a range of impactful performance improvements along with our ongoing work splitting DLC maps into optional downloads so you’ll have more control over your storage space.
  
• Nvidia Frame Generation is also a priority, and we’re aiming to reintroduce it as an option very soon – we’re as eager to get it back in as you are to have it!

Throw in some more surprise content additions, and we’re looking at a jam-packed first quarter of 2025!



Since returning from the break, the team has been busy reviewing the feedback you've shared with us about Extinction and Bob's Tall Tales: Wasteland War. Your bug reports have been invaluable, and we want to extend a massive thanks to everyone who took the time to help us identify and address these issues.
Here’s what we’re focusing on right now:

• Creature spawning issues: We’re working on various creature spawn issues across Extinction.
  
• BattleRig functionality: Some of you have reported hiccups with the rigs, and we’re diving into the mechanics to ensure they’re running smoothly.
  
• Crash fixes: Stability is a top priority for us, and we’re tackling crashes reported during gameplay, particularly on specific hardware configurations.
  
• General improvements: Addressing bug reports that came in with the Extinction launch
  
• Fixing exploits: We’ve been iterating quickly on exploits that violate our Code of Conduct. Please report players breaking the CoC click here

These updates will arrive along with a slew of miscellaneous bug fixes and improvements such as a bunch of Armadoggo fixes/QoL, fixing harvesting claimed nodes on PVE, various level design fixes (mesh holes etc), extinguisher grenade fixes, Tinkering Desk and more.
Keep those reports coming, and stay tuned for updates as we roll out a slew of fixes and improvements!




On Monday, January 13, Official Modded servers will receive config and settings updates:

• Nyrandil will be added to the cluster
  
  • Nyrandil players: Please ensure there’s nothing in your cloud storage, as the merge will remove all items.
• Atlantis transfers will open.
  
• Appalachia transfers will remain closed.

Thank you for your cooperation, and happy surviving!

Welcome your feedback!
Thank you for your continued support.

Welcome to this week's update! Most of the team is back again and we are ready to roll.
Note that this week's update is still a bit smaller in scope since our artists only came back this week.


A new special pet has been introduced, Nini!



How to get it is up to you to find out!

Nini has been added in honor of a very special person. I hope she will provide you with as much joy and love as she does to me,


Modding Quest Master is a very often requested feature, and I listened.

Starting today you can mod in your own pets.

I will be gradually expanding the capabilities of the modding tools over the coming weeks and months and gauge interest.

Let's get into how easy it is to create your own pet.


The first step is to locate the Mods folder. It's part of the installation directory, which you can find my right-clicking the game within the Steam interface.




You will notice a folder inside the Mods directory called ~Cojiro (Example Pet Mod).

This is a sample pet mod that I created, which simply creates a clone of the chicken pet and colors it blue.

To create your own pet, duplicate that folder and rename it to something you want.



Note


You will see all necessary sprites inn the folder you just duplicated. Modify them however you want.


You will see a Cajiro.yaml file in that directory. This is what tells the game to produce the pet at runtime. It has a lot of documentation to get you started. If you wish to make changes to the animations of your pet or how it moves, feel free to modify it.




If you did everything right, Gabi will show all your modded pets at the end of the list.
Enjoy your new custom pet!
