The upcoming expansion of Ark: Survival Ascended will include the Helicoprion, an extinct shark often referred to as the “buzzsaw killer.” This addition is sourced from one of the most downloaded community mods, ARK: Additions, developed by Garuga123. The Helicoprion is set to launch on August 20, 2025 and will be accessible in-game without a mod download, ensuring all players can enjoy this new content.

Studio Wildcard emphasizes that the Helicoprion will have an unbothered temperament, preferring to hunt Ammonite and only attacking players when provoked. Players can expect this creature to offer unique crafting benefits attributable to its unusual jaw design, which is under development as it transitions into its new environment.

The continued updates for Ark: Survival Ascended reflect the developer’s commitment to integrating player-created content, enhancing the gaming experience for a dedicated community.
