Stay informed about the latest news and updates related to Ark 2. From new features to gameplay modes, we'll keep you informed about everything happening in the game.
Excitement is building across the ARK community as ARK Survival Ascended Lost Colony prepares for launch. With the release just days away, Wildcard has started pulling back the curtain on what players can expect from the first brand-new story map in years — and the latest reveals are some of the biggest yet. From a powerful new dragon to confirmed creature upgrades and upcoming seasonal events, here’s everything you need to know. Lost Colony Is Almost Here If all goes according to plan, Lost Colony is expected to arrive in 2 days. While veteran survivors know release dates can shift, this marks a major milestone regardless. This is the first official story-driven map added to the ARK universe since Genesis Part 2 launched back in mid-2021. While previous additions like Bob’s Tall Tales expanded gameplay, Lost Colony represents entirely new narrative content built specifically for ARK Survival Ascended, giving players fresh lore, environments, and creatures that haven’t existed in any previous ARK title — including ARK 2. Wildcard has also made it clear that not everything will be revealed ahead of launch, meaning players should expect surprises once they step onto the map.…

The world of Ark continues to heat up as Lost Colony rolls out another major creature reveal — and this one brings new gear, new biome hints, and even more speculation about what’s still to come. If you’re following Ark news closely (especially with Ark 2 on everyone’s radar), this week delivered plenty to talk about. A First Look at the Solwyn — The Veilwyn’s Light Evolution Wildcard has finally unveiled the Solwyn, the second evolution of the Veilwyn line and the direct contrast to last week’s Malwyn reveal. While the Malwyn embodied a demonic, shadowy design, the Solwyn takes an opposite approach — brighter, sleeker, and almost angelic. Its body is nearly hairless, which has players comparing it to Sphynx cats, and its five-eye arrangement adds to its otherworldly look. According to Wildcard, this creature is described as a swift guardian that navigates frozen terrain with ease, shaping temporary ice pathways and slicing across hazards with precision. The phrase “from beneath the frozen wastes” strongly hints that the Solwyn may spawn below the snowy surface — and early art showcases a surprisingly vibrant biome with pink skies and mysterious glowing effects.

Studio Wildcard is moving full speed ahead with new Ark development, including Ark Lost Colony and even the long-term future of Ark 2. This week brought huge reveals—new creatures, engine updates, and major TLC shakeups. Wildcard Already Developing With Unreal Engine 5.7 Even though Ark: Survival Ascended currently runs on Unreal Engine 5.5, the team is already using Unreal Engine 5.7 internally. Earlier this year, the Lost Colony trailer was created using UE 5.6 with Metahuman technology, and now Wildcard is hiring a physics expert specifically experienced with Chaos Cloth, collision, rigging, and other UE 5.7 tools. This likely ties into cinematic storytelling for Ark Lost Colony and future Ark content—including an unannounced DLC planned after Lost Colony. While Wildcard has said they won’t upgrade the game engine more than once per year, the next full upgrade likely won’t arrive until summer 2025 or later. The New Lost Colony Reveal: The Malwyn One of the biggest reveals this week is the evolution form of the Veilwyn. Earlier this year, Wildcard confirmed the Veilwyn would evolve into two separate forms with the launch of Lost Colony. One of these forms is now confirmed: Meet…
