This week, we revealed the first animated teaser for ARK: Lost Colony, the next canonical DLC coming to ARK: Survival Ascended, offering a glimpse at Mei Yin’s journey following the events of Extinction as she arrives at Arat Prime. We also shared a sneak preview of what’s to come in ARK: The Animated Series Part 2, arriving later in 2025. There’s a lot to look forward to!
ARK: Lost Colony is a full-sized canonical expansion pack featuring a new map, creatures, items, structures, and the continuation of the story of ARK.
Lost Colony drops you into a massive, occupied city packed with dangers as you become the hunted, and gain access to powerful new kinds of character abilities, unique gear, building systems, and exotic tames. The epic new story of ARK Lost Colony bridges the gap from ARK Extinction to ARK Genesis and into the world of ARK 2. Will Survivors be able to face down the evil lurking in Arat Prime and connect ARK's past and future?
ARK: Lost Colony becomes available for pre-order June 2nd 2025, and all purchases will immediately unlock exclusive Lost Colony preview gameplay content.
With a full release in November 2025, ARK: Lost Colony will be priced at $29.99, for Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC platforms.
