Ark: Survival Evolved is getting a massive expansion in a broken world next month

Not content to take a breather after this week’s official launch of its dinosaur-themed survival adventure game, Ark: Survival Evolved developers Studio Wildcard announced today at PAX West 2017 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 Xbox One and PC, 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 for $20 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.
