Alternatively, players can purchase ARK: Survival Evolved's Season Pass, which includes Scorched Earth, Aberration, and a third expansion in 2018 for $45. The Center, Primitive Plus, and Ragnarok were each released entirely for free, while both Scorched Earth and Aberration cost $20 each.

Scorched Earth took players into the desert, where Aberration takes players into a strange, abandoned ARK.Īberration will be ARK: Survival Evolved's fifth major expansion DLC, but only the second premium one. A whole new map with a couple of core feature additions, and then as many creatures and items as can be finished before the development of the next expansion begins. Scorched Earth, ARK's first premium expansion, established the standard by which it seems Aberration to have been made. Creatures are plentiful, though, from the giant 'Cave Crustacean,' the adorable 'Lantern Pug,' or the 'Master' of the depths that few will see and less will survive. 50 new items will be added to the game, including climbing picks to deal with Aberration's verticality, hazmat suits to deal with toxic hazards, batteries powered by odd sources, and best yet gliding suits so as to fly without the aid of a creature. Plenty of new content will come packaged in ARK's Aberration expansion, new items and creatures as well as entirely new gameplay mechanics. Players will be challenged with earthquakes, gas leaks, elemental chambers, and other strange phenomena as they try to find a balance between the near uninhabitable surface and increasing dangers of the deep underground.

What's left above ground is toxic, ridden with radiation, but underground biomes are flourishing with strange and wild new life. The Aberration ARK has been severely damaged, resulting in the surface's internal atmosphere leaking away. Except this ARK is different than others, as something appears to have gone very wrong.

Aberration, like Scorched Earth before it, opens up an entirely new ARK for players to explore and thrive in. ARK: Survival Evolved only just exited its early access period, fully launching on PC, PS4 and Xbox One August 29, but Studio Wildcard isn't taking a celebratory vacation, instead announcing the survival action-adventure game's second major premium expansion.
