Ark: Survival Evolved | ABBERATION Expansion Pack
ARK: SURVIVAL EVOLVED TO GET EVEN BIGGER WITH UNVEILING OF
“ABERRATION” EXPANSION PACK
Survivors Face Exotic New Challenges in a
Derelict, Malfunctioning ARK Set Among Cavernous Underground Biomes, Featuring
Ziplines, Radioactive Sunlight and the Rock Dragon!
Sydney,
AUSTRALIA – 4th September, 2017 – Not content to take a breather after
last week’s official launch of its dinosaur-themed survival adventure video
game, ARK: Survival
Evolved developers Studio Wildcard announced the upcoming release
of ARK’s second expansion pack “Aberration". This new adventure will place
survivors on a damaged ARK whose internal atmosphere has leaked away, resulting
in a harsh surface with intense radiation and a plethora of lush underground
biomes containing all-new exotic creatures and items to be acquired.
Launching in October 2017 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Steam, “Aberration”
will be the second Expansion Pack for ARK: Survival Evolved,
joining the desert-themed Scorched Earth map in continuing to shed light onto
the vast mysteries of ARK!
“Aberration” will be
available as a standalone expansion pack and as part of the ARK:
Explorer’s Edition (Season Pass). Owners of ARK: Explorer’s
Edition will get exclusive in-game Aberration-themed cosmetic item
skins, immediately on Steam and in the coming days on Xbox One and PlayStation
4!
-
The Aberration Helmet, formed from the damaged ARK's obsidian-like underground
rock, creates an imposing presence for Survivors who wear it.
-
The Aberration Sword, forged from the Element Crystals that run within the
deepest chambers of the ARK, emits a subtle glow to strike fear into your
enemies.
“Aberration” Expansion Pack Features:
Tame New Creatures
The intense radiation of Aberration has
led to incredible genetic mutations, resulting in new creatures with amazing
abilities! Clamber up walls & glide through the air on the back of a
camouflaging chameleon-like ‘Rock Drake’, keep the dark at bay with a friendly
‘Lantern Pug’, or grab and toss multiple creatures simultaneously with a
massive ‘Cave Crustacean’, or -- if you are talented enough to tame one --
command the vile ‘Nameless Queen’ to impregnate your foes with a horrifying
reproductive chest-burster!
Craft Over 50 Unique Items
Traverse this new ARK using cave-climbing
picks, gliding wingsuits, and ziplines. Learn advanced engrams to dominate the
harsh environment, protect yourself with hazmat outfits, charge lanterns,
explosive rounds, batteries, glowsticks, railguns and much more. Thrive by
gathering new resources, using fishing baskets, gas collectors, fortify your
home within the caverns using cliff structures, and much more!
Conquer New Challenges
With the maintenance systems of this new
ARK malfunctioning, earthquakes, radiation exposure, gas leaks, and Element
chambers are among the many hazards that survivors will learn to grapple with
Aberration’s varied biomes, both aboveground and below the surface. Among
Aberration’s greatest challenges is the hierarchy of ‘Nameless’: unrelenting,
Element-infused monstrosities, requiring constant vigilance to defend against!
And in the deepest depths of Aberration, their terrifying master awaits… will
you be among the survivors powerful enough to face it?

Powered by Unreal Engine 4, ARK: Survival Evolved takes on
the survival genre with a unique blend of emergent multiplayer cooperation and
competition. Players awake stranded and starving on the beach of a mysterious
island among a herd of other confused humans. On ARK, they must then hunt,
harvest, craft, research technology, and build shelters to protect against
scorching days, freezing nights, volatile weather systems, dangerous wildlife,
and potential enemies. Tame, train, ride and breed one of 100 amazing dinosaurs
and other prehistoric beasts, including gargantuan creatures on a scale never
before seen in video games! Fly a Pteranodon squadron over the snow-capped
mountains, race through the deep jungle with your pack of trained Raptors,
tromp through a fortified enemy base along a convoy of gigantic Brontosaurus,
or chase down prey on the back of a raging T-Rex.
