About ARK2.com
Independent ARK publication
ARK2.com helps players follow ARK 2 and get more from ARK: Survival Ascended through clearly sourced news, practical guides, and status-first reporting.
We separate confirmed facts from announced plans and speculation. When dates, platforms, patches, or roadmap details change, we update the relevant guide instead of leaving an outdated claim unqualified.
What we cover
ARK 2
Release status, confirmed platforms, officially described features, story information, trailers, and development updates.
Survival Ascended
Roadmaps, maps, creatures, mods, crossplay, server configuration, patch changes, and player-focused guidance.
Community play
Useful information for solo players, tribes, server owners, mod users, and survivors deciding where and how to play.
Who publishes ARK2.com?
ZeroCool is the primary editor and publisher for the site’s current guides. The author page lists published work and explains the review approach used for ARK 2 and Survival Ascended coverage.
We do not publish invented staff biographies, unverified credentials, or anonymous claims of expertise. Authority should come from accurate work, transparent sources, useful testing context, and a visible correction process.
Independent status
ARK2.com is an independent fan publication. It is not owned by or affiliated with Studio Wildcard, Snail Games, Microsoft, Xbox, Sony, Epic Games, Valve, CurseForge, or the operators of the ARK Official Community Wiki. ARK, ARK 2, ARK: Survival Ascended, character names, artwork, and related marks belong to their respective rights holders.
Official sites are linked as sources because they are the best evidence for release dates, platform listings, patches, and development announcements. A source link does not imply endorsement of ARK2.com.
How the site is funded
ARK2.com may publish promotional links to third-party ARK communities or services, including EliteArk. Promotional or sponsored links are labeled in context or marked appropriately in the page markup. A commercial relationship does not change how we label a claim as confirmed, planned, unconfirmed, or opinion.
We do not accept payment in exchange for presenting rumors as facts or hiding a material conflict from readers.
How we earn trust
- Prioritize first-party announcements, official stores, patch notes, and maintained technical references.
- Link important sources where readers can inspect them.
- Show review dates when a guide depends on changing information.
- Distinguish shipped content from scheduled or undated plans.
- Correct material errors and update pages when official information changes.
- Explain platform, game-version, or server context when it affects an answer.
