ARK: Ultimate Mobile Edition has officially launched its third expansion map — Extinction — now available on mobile via the Google Play Store. This new chapter plunges players into a fractured, unrecognizable version of Earth, closing the main ARK storyline with an intense, high-stakes adventure. Discover what awaits in this bold new update.
A Dark and Dangerous World
Extinction marks the dramatic conclusion to the core ARK narrative, offering a gameplay experience that’s both challenging and immersive — especially for those who’ve conquered Scorched Earth and Aberration. Earth is no longer the planet we once knew. Water sources have vanished, resources are scarce, and survival demands innovation.
You play as a lone survivor unraveling the origins of the ARK system itself, navigating a world ravaged by catastrophe. The environment is a chaotic blend of post-apocalyptic decay and alien infestation, teeming with terrifying creatures powered by mysterious Element energy.
Both biomechanical and organic T-Rex variants now roam the landscape, adding a new layer of danger and excitement. Watch the official Extinction trailer below to get a feel for the dystopian world awaiting you.
New Features and Balance Updates
Alongside the Extinction map, several key updates have been introduced to enhance gameplay:
- Thick Skin Insulation Buff: A new survival mechanic that helps players endure extreme environmental conditions.
- Improved Multiplayer PVE Experience: AI-controlled creatures will now move from static spawn points, reducing camp-based griefing and encouraging dynamic exploration.
- Light Source Limitation: To prevent overuse in base building, the number of deployable light sources has been restricted, promoting cleaner and more strategic base designs.
