We're incredibly excited to get ARK: Genesis Ascended Part 1 and ARK Tides of Fortune into your hands, with all of the new features and gameplay systems that they add. To ensure the experience is where we want it to be across all platforms, we need a few extra days to complete final certification and apply the finishing touches ahead of launch.
As a result, ARK: Genesis Ascended Part 1 and ARK Tides of Fortune will now release on July 2, 2026.
The team has been hard at work bringing these expansions to life, and this additional time will allow us to ensure a smoother launch for everyone, so that your first voyage across the vast new waters will be the best it can be.
We know you're eager to set sail, and we truly appreciate your patience and support as we navigate the final stretch. We can't wait to share this new adventure with you on July 2.

Official Classic servers have been introduced to ARK: Survival Ascended by Snail Games. Conquest is a new PvP player experience which focuses on large-scale PvP while avoiding the problem of mega tribes. Increased rates will allow tribes to set up and establish themselves quickly and enable them to rebuild after potential losses instead of being wiped completely.
The official Classic servers are open for PC, Xbox and, Playstation and will transition to Conquest servers on July 2nd at 4 PM PDT.
If you need any support during the Conquest season, join the Conquest Enforcement's Discord.
