"Ark: Ultimate Mobile Edition Renamed, Launches Tomorrow"

If you're craving a fresh survival experience on a dinosaur-infested island and feel you've exhausted Ark: Survival Evolved, then prepare for some exciting news. The highly anticipated Ark: Ultimate Mobile Edition is set to launch on mobile devices tomorrow, December 18th, on iOS, with an expected release on Android as well. This new edition brings a revitalized version of the game that helped popularize the open-world survival genre, famously asking, "What if we added dinosaurs?"

In Ark: Ultimate Mobile Edition, you find yourself stranded on a lush, tropical island teeming with prehistoric creatures. Your journey will take you from primitive stone-age tools to advanced futuristic weaponry and even to commanding your own trained dinosaurs. It's an all-out battle to dominate this tropical paradise against both the local wildlife and other players.

You might wonder, "What sets this version apart?" Unlike the original Ark: Survival Evolved, Ark: Ultimate Mobile Edition not only includes the base game but also packs in five expansion packs: Scorched Earth, Aberration, Extinction, and Genesis Parts 1 & 2. This adds up to thousands of hours of new gameplay, according to developer Studio Wildcard. While the performance on older devices remains to be seen, this extensive content promises a rich experience for both newcomers and veterans.
