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! The team is thoroughly enjoying designing armor to make your favorite tames both protected and eye-catching. We look forward to seeing what players do with the arsenal options! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/8729288/b21d2fab3f5c1be495617ad7fb808e15ea03c1f1.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/8729288/e29276e27e9f93f8c9bec7bba0b410c5ea07e1a0.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/8729288/fbaee4e2bf044a6e46021d2886be59de0f1de813.jpg You still have the weekend to vote for which creature will be added to Scorched Earth for ARK: Survival Ascended!

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. I know I'm right about this. Take this monster bug I'm calling 'Rhyniognatha antiquagenitor' -- big enough to headline a horror flick, but still light enough to fly and skate across water. Would you believe it also makes a weirdly useful, quick-hardening resin with a variety of uses? It can thicken up its shell for a defensive boost, spray hard bullet-like globs, or squirt soft globs

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/8729288/59179a29f99021c2f2f10438d294d27c3856d037.png Hey Survivors, We appreciate your patience as we digested the feedback and consulted with our partners to revise our upcoming plans. As always, we’re very grateful to have such a passionate player base, and we hear and understand your concerns. We've decided to make some changes and provide additional information as to why we’re taking this approach, so please bear with us as we address some points. Price Point and Bundle First things first, we are scrapping the ARK Respawned Bundle. Our intention behind this was to provide a package where you essentially got two products for the price of one. In hindsight, not the best move. Our bad; we recognize how combining ARK Survival Ascended with ARK 2 and requiring further DLC upgrades wasn’t optimal, especially since you wouldn’t be able to judge ARK 2 as no gameplay or content would be available yet. Here are our new plans: ARK: Survival Ascended will now be a standalone package released on every platform (PC Windows/Steam, Xbox Series S/X, and PlayStation 5) at $59.99. The package will include the following pieces of content built-in (not sold separately), with each remastered and altered for the next-generation: The Island (Released at Launch) Survival of the Fittest: The Island & Scorched Earth map variants
