Ark: Ultimate Mobile Edition has a new name, and is set to release tomorrow

Ark: Ultimate Mobile Edition, the highly anticipated mobile version of the popular survival game, is launching tomorrow, December 18th, on iOS and Android! This isn't just a port; it includes the original game and a massive five expansion packs.

If you're a fan of dinosaur-infested island survival adventures, and you've conquered Ark: Survival Evolved multiple times, then prepare for a thrilling new experience. Announced earlier this year, Ark: Ultimate Mobile Edition promises thousands of hours of gameplay.

For the uninitiated, Ark: Survival Evolved helped define the open-world survival genre, adding a unique twist: dinosaurs! In Ark: Ultimate Mobile Edition, you'll be stranded, battling both prehistoric beasts and other players for dominance. Progress from rudimentary tools to advanced weaponry and a dinosaur army to conquer this tropical paradise.

More Than Just Dinosaurs

This isn't just the original game; it bundles five substantial expansion packs: Scorched Earth, Aberration, Extinction, and Genesis Parts 1 & 2. Studio Wildcard, the porting developer, claims this equates to thousands of hours of additional gameplay – a claim that seems plausible given the sheer volume of content. While performance on older devices remains to be seen, the sheer amount of content is impressive.

For newcomers to the Ark universe, don't worry! Numerous guides are available to help you survive. Check out Dave Aubrey's essential survival tips for Ark: Survival Evolved to avoid becoming dino-chow!
