Get ready for a prehistoric adventure! Ark: Ultimate Mobile Edition, the highly anticipated mobile version of the hit survival game, arrives tomorrow, December 18th, on iOS and (hopefully soon) Android. This isn't just a port; it's the ultimate Ark experience on the go.
For the uninitiated, Ark: Survival Evolved helped define the open-world survival genre, adding a thrilling twist: dinosaurs! Ark: Ultimate Mobile Edition throws you onto a lush, yet dangerous, tropical island teeming with prehistoric creatures and rival players. Your journey begins with rudimentary tools, but through cunning and combat, you'll rise to command powerful weaponry and a loyal army of trained dinosaurs. Dominate this prehistoric paradise!
But what sets Ark: Ultimate Mobile Edition apart? It's not just the original Ark: Survival Evolved experience; it includes *five* massive expansion packs: Scorched Earth, Aberration, Extinction, and Genesis Parts 1 & 2. That's thousands of hours of additional gameplay, according to developer Studio Wildcard—a claim that seems entirely believable.
While performance on older devices remains to be seen, the sheer amount of content is impressive. If this is your first foray into the world of Ark, don't worry! We have plenty of resources to help you survive. Check out Dave Aubrey's essential survival tips for Ark: Survival Evolved to avoid becoming dino-chow!
