Materia Collective released the Original Soundtrack for ARK: Lost Colony. It has 51 tracks, all made possible by Ivor Novello award-winning composer Gareth Coker. It's available to stream on all major platforms.

The Lost Colony is a DLC for ARK: Survival Ascended released last year. It's the first full expansion of the game and features an epic cinematic storyline that stars Michelle Yeoh as Mei Yin and brought to life by anime legends MAPPA.

The expansion bridges the gap between Extinction and ARK 2 and offers what can be described as the most ambitious narrative experience in the history of the franchise. The journey brings players to the beginning, which is Arat Prime. This is the site of humanity’s final stand. Players awaken in the Necrocene, a brutal and post-Cataclysmic era where the Earth’s southern pole has been plunged into eternal night. Buried within the deep snow is the metropolis of the Lost Colony that clings to existence beneath energy shields. It's powered by the radioactive warmth of Red Element with survival being an act of defiance against nature itself. This unnatural heat source keeps the Colony alive and only by repelling the Reseed Protocol can ensure the Earth remains broken so that the Lost King may rule his corrupt kingdom.

For the OST, Coker’s score underscores a world that's been caught between gothic horror and advanced science. As old legends resurface and new threats rise, the music traces a journey of survival, corruption, and defiance at the edge of extinction. Stream and listen to the music here.

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.
