"ARK: Ultimate Mobile Edition Launches Extinction, Third Expansion Map"

ARK: Ultimate Mobile Edition has officially launched its third major expansion map—Extinction—now available on mobile via the Google Play Store. This isn't just another map; it’s a deep dive into a fractured, post-apocalyptic Earth where survival means facing both mechanical nightmares and mutated horrors. If you’ve conquered Scorched Earth and Aberration, get ready—Extinction raises the stakes.

What Makes Extinction So Intense?

Extinction wraps up the core ARK narrative in dramatic fashion, challenging players to uncover the truth behind the ARK system itself. The world is broken: oceans have vanished, resources are scarce, and the environment is crawling with dangerous, Element-infused creatures. Both robotic and organic Rexes now roam the wasteland, forcing you to adapt or die. It’s not just about building and taming anymore—it’s about surviving a world that wants you gone.

New Features & Balance Updates

Alongside the new map, Studio Wildcard has rolled out several quality-of-life improvements:

• Thick Skin Insulation Buff – A new survival mechanic that helps players better withstand extreme environmental conditions.
• Improved Multiplayer PvE Experience – Creatures will now actively move from camped locations, reducing griefing and encouraging dynamic exploration.
• Light Source Limits – To prevent spammy base builds, there’s now a cap on how many light sources can be placed per structure, promoting cleaner and more strategic base designs.

How to Access the Extinction Expansion

ARK: Ultimate Mobile Edition includes all major expansions—including Genesis Part 1 and Part 2—so if you're already invested, Extinction integrates seamlessly. Prefer à la carte content? You can purchase the Extinction map individually. However, if you’re subscribed to the monthly Ark Pass, this expansion is already included at no extra cost—and so are all future expansions. That’s value and convenience in one package.
