ARK Ascended Roadmap and Map Release Order (2024 & 2025)

Studio Wildcard has announced the complete ARK Survival Ascended map release schedule and roadmap for 2024 & 2025. Find out the release dates of all DLCs here.

ARK Survival Evolved featured multiple maps, each with its own unique environment, challenges, and secrets, and Studio Wildcard will port some of them into ARK Survival Ascended. The Island map has already made its way into the game with its launch; however, players are waiting for the release of other maps. Here is the complete launch schedule for ARK Survival Ascended maps.

5 September Update: We've checked for the latest news relating to ARK Survival Ascended's upcoming DLC map releases.

ARK Survival Ascended Map Release Schedule

Studio Wildcard will bring the following official and community-created maps, with each remastered and altered for the next generation:

• Scorched Earth – March 31, 2024 [Now LIVE]
• The Center – June 4, 2024 [Now LIVE]
• Aberration – July 2024 Changed to 4 September 2024 [Now LIVE]
• Ragnarok – September 2024 (Whilst not yet confirmed this map has likely been pushed back)
• Extinction – October 2024
• Unnamed Surprise map – November 2024
• Valguero– December 2024
• Genesis– February 2025
• Crystal Isles – April 2025
• Genesis Part 2 – May 2025
• Lost Island– August 2025
• Fjordur – October 2025

Important Update - Do keep in mind that the release dates for all maps after Aberration will most likely be delayed. For context, the ARK Survival Ascended Abberation DLC was scheduled to launch in July 2024, but was pushed back to September 2024. This will no doubt have a knock on impact for the remaining DLC maps schedule to launch in 2024 and 2025.

That's everything you need to know about the ARK Survival Ascended map release schedule, and we will update this page if there are any changes to the above dates, so make sure to keep an eye on this page (as delays mean the dates have already changed twice already).
