Extinction is the third paid expansion for ARK: Survival Evolved, originally released in November 2018. In this expansion, players return to a ravaged Earth tainted by elements, populated by both organic and technological creatures. At the center of the map lies an abandoned city known as Sanctuary, surrounded by various biomes such as the desert, the snow dome, and the sunken forest. Players must face challenges such as corruption events, orbital supply drops, and powerful Titans that serve as bosses.
With the release of ARK: Survival Ascended in December 2024, Extinction was re-released as an updated version under the title Extinction Ascended. This version offers enhanced graphics, optimized gameplay mechanics, and additional content that expands the gaming experience. Players can look forward to a more intense atmosphere and new challenges.
Additionally, the DLC Bob's Tall Tales was introduced, offering new adventures and content in multiple parts. The third part, Wasteland War, focuses on the Extinction map and adds post-apocalyptic elements. Players can control new vehicles such as highly customizable combat machines that facilitate movement through the devastated landscape. This DLC enhances the gaming experience with additional missions, structures, and cosmetic items in a post-apocalyptic style.
