PC Extinction Servers Wiped!
Hey Survivors!
The first month of our Extinction servers on PC has come to a close, ending with a giant meteor crashing down upon the Island and wiping everything out of existence. These Extinction servers are now wiped, and ready to go for another month.
If you like the idea of higher rates (harvesting, taming, etc) and starting fresh on a new server without alpha tribes, give these servers a try! You can find them in the Official servers list by searching for “extinction”.

Hello Survivors!

The Center-Map you can see in the youtube-video-link is designed by community member Ben Burkart, The Center adds an over-the-top, fantasy-themed map that doubles the size of the current game and is more varied than the original ARK map, with tons of new biomes, dungeons, floating islands, end-of-the-world waterfalls, massive ancient ruins, along with other wonders to explore and secrets to find. Drawn completely by hand without any auto-generated content, The Center is a massive increase in the game’s official playable content and is free to both PC and Xbox One players.
