Studio Wildcard Reveals Next Expansion for ARK: Survival Evolved – Aberration (VIDEO)

ARK Survival Evolved Aberration

Studio Wildcard just recently launched the full release of their dino-filled survival game1 ARK: Survival Evolved on PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4. Less than a week after launch, the studio has announced a new expansion for the title that will take players on an even stranger journey, and it will be available very soon. The new expansion is titled Aberration and a peek at what survivors can expect can be seen in the video below:

Aberration will land players in a deep, sprawling cave system that is sure to house the most terrifying and majestic creatures to date. In the studio’s live PAX West Twitch stream that showcased the new expansion, Senior Technical and Gameplay Designer Kayd Hendricks explains that light plays a big part in the new expansion. Not only will players need to rely on new light sources for the sake of being able to see, but “you don’t want to be caught in the dark.” Judging by the video above, the new beasts that inhabit the new ARK are nocturnal and can be extremely deadly.

The official synopsis for Aberration reads:

Waking up on ‘Aberration’, a derelict, malfunctioning ARK with an elaborate underground biome system, survivors face exotic new challenges unlike anything before: extreme radioactive sunlight and environmental hazards, ziplines, wingsuits, climbing gear, cave dwellings, charge-batteries, and far more, along with a stable of extraordinary new creatures await within the mysterious depths. But beware the ‘Nameless’: unrelenting, Element-infused humanoids which have evolved into vicious light-hating monstrosities! On Aberration, survivors will uncover the ultimate secrets of the ARKs, and discover what the future holds in store for those strong and clever enough to survive!

ARK: Survival Evolved is available now, and the new expansion is expected to release on all platforms toward the end of October 2017.
