Astraeos is an expansive new map, comprising a ~264km landscape brimming with mysteries and inspired by the legends of Greek mythology. This breathtaking world is adorned with towering mountain ridges, ancient ruins, sacred temples, and stunning marble-like cliffs that overlook paradisiacal white sand beaches and blooming cherry blossom groves. Powerful mythological boss monsters await courageous survivors, including Medusa, the Cyclops, the Minotaur, and more, while players can also find the new Maeguana creature variant to soar through the skies and enhance their baby-rearing efficiency. Astraeos is fully integrated into ARK: Survival Ascended's official gameplay, ensuring a seamless experience for all survivors. Additionally, players can harness a teleportation system, allowing for fast travel between all spawn areas across the vast landscape. But the mythos of Astraeos does not end at launch— creator Nekatus plans to expand the world over time with new realms, updates, and challenges worthy of the gods.
