{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44719856/c2760b099bfaffdb160c6bee4aa106c73fe3fe36.png This week, we're taking a closer look at the Cerberax, and its dossier reveals there's considerably more to taming this mythological monster than simply surviving the encounter. Each head will need to be dealt with on its own terms, and convincing all three that you're worth following might prove just as dangerous as fighting the beast itself. Pull it off, though, and Cerberax becomes one hell of an ally, bringing fire, venom, and three heads that are dangerous alone and downright vicious in sync. And Cerberax won't be ar

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44719856/c2760b099bfaffdb160c6bee4aa106c73fe3fe36.png All hands on deck, Survivors! The Galleon has officially set sail! This absolute behemoth offers Survivors a massive new canvas for fortress-style base building on the open water, backed by a formidable battery of cannons ready to turn a passing disagreement into a full broadside. And the timing couldn't be better. With new water physics bringing rolling waves and shifting seas, and Astraeos now reaching its completed form, there are more reasons than ever to leave the shoreline behind and see where the tides take you.

Explore this vast, breathtaking world, steeped in Greek mythology, where majestic mountain ridges and marble cliffs meet pristine white sand beaches and a paradise of cherry blossoms. Spanning over 264 square kilometers, Astraeos is brimming with stunning scenery, ancient ruins, and sacred temples. That odyssey now reaches its final chapter with Astraeos 1.0 and its most ambitious expansion yet: Heaven and the Abyss. A realm of divine trials fit for the pantheon, from floating

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44719856/c2760b099bfaffdb160c6bee4aa106c73fe3fe36.png Survivors, mark your calendars because September 30 is shaping up to be a big day on the ARKs! The Unreal Engine 5.8 upgrade, Therizinosaurus TLC, Cerberax, and Gargantar are all set to arrive together in one packed release. The move to Unreal Engine 5.8 represents one of the biggest technical milestones yet for ASA. Our engine team has been hard at work on the upgrade, focusing on tangible performance improvements, platform-specific fixes, and stronger technical foundations for everything still ahead. And the technology

On August 26, the final update to Astraeos arrives, and charging headfirst into the fray is the Boaratos, a fiery new bruiser that's happiest when things get up close, and preferably a little singed. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44719856/9f9b42a9274413e4159cb2301702de7f4480e7b0.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44719856/3d57507366217e6b9deedd0b5cc47c9e8e68ae3d.jpg Download in full resolution Built to stand tusk-to-toe with some of the toughest creatures on the ARKs, this hot-headed hog comb

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44719856/c2760b099bfaffdb160c6bee4aa106c73fe3fe36.png The ground is beginning to shake again. Once upon a time, the Giganotosaurus was the undisputed king of the ARKs. Few creatures could stand against it, and hearing its roar in the distance was enough to send even seasoned Survivors scrambling for safety, and taming one was a milestone few ever forgot. As the years went by and new apex predators emerged, the Giga gradually found itself sharing the spotlight. With this TLC, our goal is to restore the presence, power, and identity that made it the terror of the wilderness in

Thanks to your Extra Life vote, one of ARK's most iconic creatures is getting a fresh coat of feathers, all while staying true to the role Survivors have relied on for years. Rather than redefining the creature, this TLC focuses on improving combat responsiveness, controls, traversal, visual progression and expanding the creature’s personality. The Therizino has always had a reputation for turning an innocent stroll through the woods into a frantic sprint for your life, and that

Each new arrival brings its own unique twist to survival, and the Concavenator is no exception.

Be careful when approaching it, as it has a habit of inhaling just about anything that stands in its path. From allies to trees, bushes, and resources, nothing is safe from its seemingly bottomless belly. Whether you're standing your ground or stocking up for your next adventure, this hungry giant is always ready to lend a helping... lung when it arrives later this year with ARK: Dragontopia. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}
