Community Crunch 524: Three of a Kind

ARK: Survival Ascended · published 19 Sep 2026, 00:05 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Three heads. Three personalities. Three very different opinions about whether a Survivor is worth following.

Our first Cerberax reveal, we focused on some of the ways its three heads can work together in battle. This week, we’re getting a little better acquainted with the personalities behind all those teeth and what it takes to win them over.

Taming a Cerberax means earning three separate votes. One head respects a Survivor who won’t back down, so be ready to wrestle for control. Another becomes considerably more open to negotiations when food is involved. And the third? Sometimes the best bonding experience is a good old-fashioned hunt.

Meet each head on its own terms, and Cerberax will finally join your tribe.

One tame. Three trials. No majority rule.

You won’t have to wait long for the verdict. Cerberax arrives for ARK Fantastic Tames Season 1 owners on September 30 alongside the Therizinosaurus TLC, the insatiable Gargantar, and the upgrade to Unreal Engine 5.8!

We’ve updated our ARK Fan Content Guidelines to make the rules around creating, sharing, and monetizing fan content a little clearer.

The biggest change is around video monetization, with updated guidance that allows creators to offer paid access to ARK video content through platforms like Patreon and YouTube memberships, as long as the outlined conditions are followed.

If you create ARK content, it’s worth giving the updated guidelines a read so you know what’s changed and what’s permitted.
