Ark Survival Ascended has been frequently making its method via all of Survival Developed’s expansions, remastering and re-releasing them because it is going. Many idea that when Survival Ascended had ticked each final little bit of Survival Developed content material off its record, it’d be time for Ark 2, however sadly the whereabouts of its extremely expected sequel are nonetheless unknown. As a substitute, avid gamers are for the primary time getting an absolutely authentic, all-new growth to Ark Survival Ascended referred to as Misplaced Colony, and whilst its star-studded forged and icy new international is sufficient to get fascinated by, it’ll additionally characteristic some “fan-favorite characters” and tee up the tale for Ark 2. Oh, and Studio Wildcard has showed when it’ll be liberating too.
I used to be in a position to show a couple of small however thrilling information about Misplaced Colony past due final 12 months, together with that it will happen in a brand new wintery location, attach some narrative dots from earlier Ark Survival Ascended expansions, and tease what’s to come back within the elusive Ark 2. With Misplaced Colony’s complete divulge these days, we now know so a lot more concerning the survival sport’s new journey.
Misplaced Colony will put you within the sneakers of Mei Yin (who you’ll know already when you’ve watched the Ark animated sequence on Paramount+) and also you’ll discover the frozen realm of Arat Top. That’s a reputation that probably the most devoted of Ark lore-heads will acknowledge – it’s been hinted at for years as crucial location, and the YouTube description for the brand new divulge trailer confirms that it’s certainly “the birthplace of the Arks.” The outline additionally says that “the frozen wastes of Arat Top aren’t devoid of clever lifestyles; to the contrary, the town has change into a war-torn battleground between twisted Component-powered ‘factions’ looking for to undo what used to be completed on the finish of Ark Extinction.”
Oscar-winning actress Michelle Yeoh is reprising her function as Mei Yin, and stars along Madeleine Madden and, maximum curiously, Auli’i Cravalho, the voice of Moana but in addition the actress who might be taking part in Meeka (the daughter of Santiago) in Ark 2.

Studio Wildcard additionally says that throughout the brand new growth “you’ll unencumber tough ‘Misplaced’ persona talent bushes, befriend unique tames, craft ‘Cursed’ tiers of substances, and grasp complicated new construction methods,” so there’s much more than simply new environments and tale content material right here.
Ark Survival Ascended’s Misplaced Colony Growth might be to be had to pre-order in June this 12 months and can then release in November 2025, in keeping with Studio Wildcard.
Whilst it’s nice that we’ve were given a release window within the diary, it does additionally counsel that we’ve nonetheless were given a long time to look forward to the Ark 2 liberate date. Slated for a 2024 liberate after struggling delays, the 12 months ended with none point out about why it neglected its window or its standing. With Misplaced Colony teeing up Ark 2’s tale, it is going to in fact now not be launching ahead of the growth. I’m positive that Studio Wildcard will wish to give Misplaced Colony some respiring house, too, in order that makes an Ark 2 liberate in 2025 extraordinarily not going. All eyes on 2026, it sort of feels.

You’ll practice us on Google Information for day by day PC video games information, critiques, and guides. We’ve additionally were given a colourful group Discord server, the place you’ll chat about this tale with individuals of the group and fellow readers.
