• A fearsome three-headed hound built for battle whose fire, venom, and electrical attacks are deadliest in combination. Ride solo or bring tribemates along to unleash even more of its power, as each head works in tandem to overwhelm even the fiercest opponents on the ARKs.

  • Lost Colony

• The battlefield is a banquet, and Gargantar has come hungry. This colossal dragon grows tougher as it inhales creatures and resources, with room in its enormous belly to shelter allies. What goes down can come back up, turning its stomach contents into a barrage of rather unpleasant acidic spit and vomit.
  
• The Gargantar has been added to the following maps:
  
  • The Center
    
  • Scorched Earth
    
  • Lost Colony

• [color=#ecf0f1]October 28th:[/color] [color=#3498db]Full UE 5.8 update[/color] launches on all platforms.

Hey authors,
Preparations are underway for ARK's upgrade to Unreal Engine 5.8. Here's the planned timeline and what you should expect:

[color=#3498db]September 30th - Game Update[/color]
The next major update will be released for the game

[color=#3498db]October 5th - Offline Time & BTS Work[/color]
Cooking servers will be taken down as Studio Wildcard releases the [color=#3498db]5.8 test client & beta DevKit[/color]. This is when we recook all mods in batches
Like last time, mods that have significant issues will be collected into a list, to make sure you know which projects require attention

[color=#3498db]October 28th - 5.8 Live & Modding Reopened[/color]

• ARK moves to UE 5.8, at which point modding will reopen, and we'll publish the list of projects requiring author action
  
• Just like previous major updates, expect a spike in traffic: cooking time & project moderation may experience delays during the first few days after the update

Dates may shift, depending on testing & recooking. We'll keep you updated as we move through each stage
