- Ark: Ultimate Mobile Edition unleashes its Genesis Part 1 expansion
- Embark on narrative-driven missions within a virtual simulation world
- Journey through diverse environments from oceanic depths to low-gravity lunar landscapes
With its roster of colossal prehistoric creatures to battle and tame - plus the ever-present threat of rival players - Ark: Ultimate Mobile Edition already delivers mobile gaming's premier sci-fi dino-survival experience. Now the stakes escalate dramatically with the freshly launched Genesis Part 1 expansion available for purchase.
Differing from the Extinction expansion's approach, Genesis Part 1 shifts focus from open-world maps to Ark's previously secondary narrative elements. Players find themselves awakening inside an enigmatic virtual simulation, guided by their robotic aide HLN-A. Survival hinges on completing challenging story missions that gradually reveal the simulation's shocking truths.
These missions demand mastery of all survival skills - from tactical combat to exploration strategy. Whether navigating haunted swamps, volcanic wastelands, deep-sea trenches, or zero-gravity moon surfaces, players face bizarre new creatures including Magmasaurs, colossal sea turtles, and cosmic whales.
Ark you prepared? While Ark: Ultimate Mobile Edition's core game remains free, expansions like Genesis Part 1 require separate purchase, with previous DLCs priced at $5.99. The ARK Subscription Pass ($4.99/month) offers alternative access to all current and future expansions, plus premium bonuses like the God Console for solo play.
Prospective Genesis adventurers should watch for special 10th anniversary promotions, including a 20% discount on Keys (in-game currency) currently active.
Additionally, players passionate about mobile gaming recognition can now nominate titles for the 2025 Pocket Gamer People's Choice Awards. Could your favorite underrated game make the cut?
