Next DLC for ARK has release date in October for PC, PS4, and Xbox One
For days, the Twitter account of ARK lead developer Jeremy Stieglitz has been buzzing. He was excited about something and couldn’t wait to announce it. In the meantime, it was thought that it could be the new live-action series, but it turned out to be a fresh expansion.
ARK has introduced a $45 Season Pass at launch. The first expansion is the already released Scorched Earth – there was some trouble back then because a paid DLC was released while ARK was still in Early Access.

The theme of the expansion will be to survive in a hostile and alien environment.

There are rumors that there will be mutated creatures underground:
- A “rock dragon” is said to have the ability to camouflage itself like a chameleon, climb walls, and soar through the skies.

There is now a lot of information about ARK – the game has just been released. However, the launch did not go perfectly, which is also a form of horror:
