Studio Wildcard has officially unveiled ARK: Lost Colony, a major new story expansion for ARK: Survival Ascended, launching this December on Steam. Revealed with a brand-new trailer, Lost Colony takes the game’s lore to its darkest depths yet, bridging the gap from Extinction to Genesis and ultimately leading toward ARK 2.
The Lost Colony Expansion Pass is available starting today, alongside the release of Ragnarok Ascended, both fully compatible with the PC version on Steam.

A Dark New Chapter in ARK’s Lore
Set in Arat Prime, the mysterious birthplace of the ARKs, Lost Colony is the first fully canonical expansion for Survival Ascended. It stars Michelle Yeoh as Mei Yin in cinematic sequences crafted by iconic anime studio MAPPA, and promises to deepen the lore for long-time fans.
Expect a new kind of adventure — one that ties together everything that came before, with high-stakes storytelling and a focus on the origins of the ARK universe.
