A new threat is preparing to stomp its way in ARK: Survival Ascended. The Acrocanthosaurus is a brutal frontline powerhouse that's been built for the thick of battle. Indeed, this massive carnivore shines well when the fight turns against it.
What makes the Acrocanthosaurus even scarier is that the longer the fight goes, the more fearsome it becomes. It's able to turn injuries into momentum and can even refuse to back down when others might fall. Even with all of these, the Acrocanthosaurus isn't merely a savage attacker. It has a defensive edge that makes it especially formidable in a survivor’s hands. It's able to hold the line, draw attention, and weather the chaos head-on.
Whether charging into danger or standing firm against it, the creature commands the battlefield by sheer presence alone when it arrives March 31.
Sneak Peek
In a post, the development team offers a first look in the upcoming ocean systems. It's currently being tested inside the Genesis Part 1 biome. The same post shows ship assets which have been borrowed from ATLAS. However, the team assures everyone that they'll be releasing new ships created specifically for the game.
The test though is not really on the ships but on the new water physics system. The waves, buoyancy, and ship movement are all being actively developed and tested as the team shapes the foundations of large-scale maritime gameplay within Genesis’s ocean environments.
These systems are planned to ultimately support a full maritime experience across a map-wide ocean biome. It's a place where real water physics, customizable ships, semi-procedural islands and fortresses to discover, and large-scale naval battles across the high seas define life on the water.
ARK: Survival Ascended recreates the ARK world from scratch with the use of the latest Unreal Engine 5 technology. Players are taken to a vibrant and enigmatic island that’s filled with hundreds of dinosaur species and other prehistoric creatures ready to be tamed and bred. The game invites players to form tribes, explore, craft, build, and ascend the food-chain in an all-new world waiting for their discovery.
ARK: Survival Ascended offers the ultimate survival experience as it invites players to design their own Survivor, tame dinosaurs, and unravel the true nature of The Island and worlds beyond. There are also quality of life enhancements that include a refreshed user interface, intelligent creature pathfinding, wild babies, new map system, updated tracking system, new structures, creatures, and much more.
