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 open-world survival games and dinosaur-infested islands, but feel you've exhausted Ark: Survival Evolved, then this is your chance to dive back in. 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! Ark: Ultimate Mobile Edition throws you onto a tropical island teeming with prehistoric creatures and other players. You'll progress from basic tools to advanced weaponry and command your own dinosaur army in a battle for island dominance.

More Than Just Dinosaurs

What sets Ark: Ultimate Mobile Edition apart? It's not just the original game; it bundles five expansive DLCs: Scorched Earth, Aberration, Extinction, and Genesis Parts 1 & 2. Studio Wildcard promises a substantial gameplay experience. However, the performance on older devices remains to be seen.

If this is your first Ark experience, don't worry! Numerous guides are available to help you survive the island and avoid becoming dino-chow. Check out Dave Aubrey's essential survival tips for Ark: Survival Evolved to get a head start!
