ARK: Ultimate Mobile Edition Launches Extinction, Third Expansion Map

ARK: Ultimate Mobile Edition has officially launched its third expansion map — Extinction — now available on mobile via the Google Play Store. This new chapter plunges players into a dystopian, fractured version of Earth, wrapping up the core ARK storyline while delivering a bold new survival challenge.

A Dark, Dangerous World Awaits

Extinction sets itself apart as the climactic conclusion to the ARK saga, offering a stark evolution from previous maps like Scorched Earth and Aberration. The planet is dying — oceans have vanished, resources are scarce, and the environment is hostile beyond measure. As a lone survivor, your mission is to piece together the mystery behind the ARK system’s origins, all while navigating a world overrun by chaos.

This post-apocalyptic landscape is teeming with hybrid horrors — a terrifying fusion of organic and mechanical creatures, including biomechanical Rexes that roam the wasteland. The atmosphere is intense, the stakes are high, and every step forward feels like a fight for survival.

New Features & Balance Updates

Alongside the Extinction map, several gameplay updates have been introduced to enhance the experience:

  • Thick Skin Insulation Buff: A new survival mechanic that helps players endure extreme environmental conditions.
  • Improved Multiplayer PVE: AI-controlled creatures will now move dynamically, reducing camping behavior and preventing griefing in high-traffic areas.
  • Light Source Limits: To discourage spam builds, players are now restricted in the number of light sources they can place, promoting cleaner, more strategic base designs.
