ARK: Survival Evolved – 10th Anniversary

The 10th Anniversary celebration is now live in ARK: Survival Ascended from June 5–17, with a festive lineup of new in-game content. During this event Survivors can collect cake slices for buffs, discover a flashy set of Party Dinos, and show up in style with new cosmetics like the Birthday Suit and Party Hat skins. There's even a DJ Party emote, a Rave Dance, and a Club ARK tropical Island makeover to keep the celebration going. The Unreal Engine 5.5 update brings a big performance boost to ARK: Survival Ascended, with improved rendering, faster load times, and a smaller base installation size thanks to optional downloads for expansion DLCs. PlayStation 5 Pro players will see immediate benefits, including native PSSR support for up to 30% higher FPS and improved long-range shadows.

The first major content drop for the Astraeos DLC has arrived with the release of its Lemnokis update, adding another massive and visually stunning island crafted by renowned ARK modder Nekatus. This sprawling new island is packed with diverse biomes, hidden caves, and towering redwoods where ancient ruins and colossal statues hint at lost civilizations. The lush expansion isn't just for sightseeing—players can take on the game's first-ever duo minibosses, Kalydonios and Erymanthian, two massive boars that fight with fire and poison. From deep-sea resource zones to the mysterious Maelstrom far offshore, and a glacier cave tucked beneath the Redwoods, Lemnokis is loaded with far-flung new adventures, prime build spots, and the return of the fan-favorite Snow Owls.
