ASA is much more than a complete technology overhaul, we are also going through and revising the artwork by hand for a new conception of the worlds of ARK. Here's a first look at what "Remaster" means in ARK Survival Ascended: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/8729288/58fbdbaba578e696c981405e6b938b35f3f0db60.png Stay tuned to subsequent Crunches for more looks at the reenvisioned style of ARK Survival Ascended! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/8729288/7fad205c66c53e06be32ef73c890d71e9628fddb.png We couldn't leave you with our previous ARK 2 Carnotaurus reveal without showing an example of our new-look dino armor!

We are thrilled to reveal the Rhyniognatha dossier to the community! Peruse it, plot, and plan, as we are eager to see what you will do with this brand-new monstrous bug! Speaking of new creatures, don't forget to submit your ideas for the Community Creature Vote before submissions end on April 21st! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/8729288/1fc2499e977510cadff62803ad33688d180d0fdb.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/8729288/b031ce2a7e19e930346a07b69b3e62aeaeb385b5.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/8729288/fe003317f3c9f95d7deafa606cab18f62c2dfe90.jpg Common name: Rhyniognatha Species: Rhyniognatha antiquagenitor Time: Early Devonian Diet: Omnivore Temperament: Aggressive {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/8729288/6030b873c18c32a4466d131a1dc8ba2ef778eb7a.png I swear, every new creature I come across here makes me more sure they've all had their genes tampered with.
