ARK: Survival Evolved is going primeval with ARK: Ultimate Survivor Edition for mobile

ARK: Survival Evolved for mobile is getting a brand-new edition
ARK: Ultimate Survivor Edition comes with all previous DLC and more
It leverages new Unreal Engine 4 improvements and enhancements

With the release of ARK: Survival Evolved for mobile in 2018, we saw the dinosaur-hunting survival-crafting game make a big splash on mobile. But if you thought the lustre had faded, get ready, because the jam-packed, definitive version, ARK: Ultimate Survivor Edition is coming to mobile in the 2024 Holiday period!
While the initial release of Ark: Survival Evolved for mobile was good, this new version of the game promises to be something else entirely. Aside from improvements and enhancements leveraging Unreal Engine 4, the game will also come with all of the ARK Expansion packs currently available.
That means you're getting: Scorched Earth, Aberration, Extinction and Genesis Parts 1 & 2. But that's not all, because the ARK Island and Scorched Earth maps are also joined by the fan-favorite Ragnarok map! That's alongside the aforementioned improvements and every update and addition made since the game's original release in 2015.
