Ark: Ultimate Mobile Edition launches Genesis Part 1 expansion pack

Arc: Ultimate Mobile Edition is launching its new Genesis Part 1 expansion

Step into immersive, story-driven missions within a virtual simulation

Discover environments ranging from the deep ocean to low-gravity lunar landscapes

With countless massive prehistoric creatures to battle and tame—and other players to outwit—Ark: Ultimate Mobile Edition has already delivered the ultimate sci-fi dino-survival experience on mobile. Now, with the new Genesis Part 1 expansion, the danger and scale have exploded.

Unlike the previous expansion, Extinction, Genesis Part 1 shifts focus from open-world sandbox play to Ark’s often-overlooked narrative. You’ll awaken trapped inside a cryptic virtual world, guided by your robotic ally HLN-A. To survive, you must complete a series of compelling story missions to unravel the truth behind your confinement.

These challenges aren’t easy—your combat, exploration, and tactical skills will be pushed to the limit. Traverse haunting bogs, blazing volcanoes, vast oceans, and weightless lunar surfaces, all teeming with bizarre new creatures like Magmasaurs, colossal sea turtles, and space whales.

While Ark: Ultimate Mobile Edition is free to play, expansions like Genesis Part 1 require separate purchase—previous expansions cost $5.99. Alternatively, subscribe to the ARK Subscription Pass for $4.99/month to unlock all current and future expansions, plus exclusive bonuses like the God Console for single-player worlds.

If you’re ready to dive into Genesis Part 1, keep an eye out for anniversary discounts marking the Ark franchise’s 10th year—Keys, the in-game currency, are now 20% off.
