Ark: Lost Colony will be the first original expansion for Ark: Survival Ascended, launching this November. The expansion will bridge the plotlines of Ark’s earlier extensions, Extinction and Genesis, and it serves as a precursor to the sequel, Ark 2.

This expansion promises to deliver an immersive story experience featuring anime-style cutscenes produced by the acclaimed Japanese studio MAPPA, known for works like Jujutsu Kaisen and Attack on Titan.

“Ark: Lost Colony connects the storylines of Ark’s Extinction and Genesis expansions and leads into the events of Ark 2,” states Studio Wildcard.

Ark: Lost Colony will feature:

• A vast occupied city
• New character abilities and unique gear
• Building systems and exotic tames

Set for release in November at a price of $30, you can find more details on the Steam page.
