- Ark: Ultimate Mobile Edition is launching its new Genesis Part 1 expansion
- Experience new story-driven missions inside a virtual simulation
- Explore diverse biomes, from deep oceans to low-gravity lunar landscapes
With its massive prehistoric creatures to defeat and tame, plus the constant challenge from other players, Ark: Ultimate Mobile Edition delivers the definitive sci-fi dino-survival experience on mobile. Now, the adventure grows larger and more perilous with the release of its latest expansion, Genesis Part 1, available for purchase!
Unlike the previous Extinction expansion, Genesis Part 1 moves beyond simply adding new sandbox maps. Instead, it brings the game's underlying narrative to the forefront. You awaken trapped inside a mysterious virtual simulation, guided by your robotic companion, HLN-A. To survive, you must complete a series of story-driven missions, unraveling the secrets of your situation.
These missions are no simple task. They will rigorously test your combat prowess, exploration skills, and strategic thinking. You'll navigate treacherous environments—from eerie swamps and fiery volcanoes to deep ocean trenches and low-gravity lunar surfaces—all teeming with bizarre new creatures like Magmasaurs, giant sea turtles, and even space whales.
Ark you kidding?!While Ark: Ultimate Mobile Edition's core game is free-to-play, expansions like Genesis Part 1 require a separate purchase. Previous expansions have been priced at $5.99. Alternatively, players can subscribe to the ARK Pass ($4.99/month), which grants access to all current and future expansion packs, along with exclusive bonuses like the God Console for single-player worlds.
For those planning to dive into Genesis Part 1, it's worth watching for special promotions. Currently, in celebration of the Ark franchise's 10th anniversary, Keys (the in-game currency) are available at a 20% discount.
