ARK: Scorched Earth

Survive to tame dinosaurs in entirely new lands with ARK: Scorched Earth, the expansion to the open-world survival game, ARK: Survival Evolved. The expansion features new areas to explore, new creatures to tame, new items to craft, and new challenges to confront. In ARK: Survival Evolved, players take on the role of a naked man or woman, and do their best to survive in a harsh environment filled with dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures. Players craft their own clothes, weapons, and shelters, and interact with a living ecosystem. ARK: Scorched Earth takes the game to new heights, introducing all new desert-themed biomes for players to explore. New creatures inhabit these environments, from the humble camel-like Morellatops, to the terrifying and powerful Wyvern, capable of destroying the landscape with a rain of fire. The expansion also features a host of new items, tailored specifically to the hot and arid climate of the new desert biomes. To protect themselves, and subdue their enemies, players can craft and utilize whips, boomerangs, flamethrowers, and chainsaws. They can also construct tents, wind turbines, and even oil refineries to create sophisticated settlements that go far beyond just survival. With the new desert biomes come new environmental hazards. Players will have to do their best to prepare for sandstorms and electrical storms, as well as the constant threat of heat stroke. If players can last through those, they might have the misfortune of encountering the Manticore. Tied to the mysterious power of the Obelisks, the Manticore is ARK’s most powerful creature to date. If players can subdue this fearsome threat, they will be duly rewarded. With so many new additions to the game, ARK: Scorched Earth is a must-have enhancement to ARK: Survival Evolved.
