Explore this vast, breathtaking world, steeped in Greek mythology, where majestic mountain ridges and marble cliffs meet pristine white sand beaches and a paradise of cherry blossoms. Spanning over 264 square kilometers, Astraeos is brimming with stunning scenery, ancient ruins, and sacred temples. That odyssey now reaches its final chapter with Astraeos 1.0 and its most ambitious expansion yet: Heaven and the Abyss. A realm of divine trials fit for the pantheon, from floating island peaks to dark abyssal trenches, command ancient warships across violent seas and prove your worth against the legendary horrors of myth. Astraeos is available on Steam! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44719856/3a9c7ca512472ff59440049143fb8323d9867837.png Helianthos: A bright, lush island of towering mountain ridges, open flower-filled plains, peaceful creatures, and flying islands suspended high above the landscape. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44719856/47d76755f399dc103b03551e530671df05c717d5.jpg Abyssanthos: A fog-shrouded deep-sea expanse with enormous underwater air bubbles supporting a mythical underwate

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44719856/c2760b099bfaffdb160c6bee4aa106c73fe3fe36.png Survivors, mark your calendars because September 30 is shaping up to be a big day on the ARKs! The Unreal Engine 5.8 upgrade, Therizinosaurus TLC, Cerberax, and Gargantar are all set to arrive together in one packed release. The move to Unreal Engine 5.8 represents one of the biggest technical milestones yet for ASA. Our engine team has been hard at work on the upgrade, focusing on tangible performance improvements, platform-specific fixes, and stronger technical foundations for everything still ahead. And the technology isn't the only thing getting an upgrade. Thanks to your Extra Life vote, the Therizinosaurus TLC will sharpen up one of ARK's most iconic creatures, bringing new life and personality to the beloved Tickle Chicken while staying true to the harvesting powerhouse Survivors know and love. It won't be arriving alone. The skies will welcome Gargantar, the latest mighty dragon from ARK Dragontopia, with Expansion Pass owners getting early access to this hungry behemoth, who views the ARKs as one enormous all-you-can-eat buffet. Meanwhile, ARK Fantastic Tames Season 1 continues with the

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44719856/c2760b099bfaffdb160c6bee4aa106c73fe3fe36.png Things are about to get a little crispy on Astraeos. On August 26, the final update to Astraeos arrives, and charging headfirst into the fray is the Boaratos, a fiery new bruiser that's happiest when things get up close, and preferably a little singed. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44719856/9f9b42a9274413e4159cb2301702de7f4480e7b0.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44719856/3d57507366217e6b9deedd0b5cc47c9e8e68ae3d.jpg Download in full resolution Built to stand tusk-to-toe with some of the toughest creatures on the ARKs, this hot-headed hog combines raw physical strength with fiery attacks and a knack for leaving its enemies bleeding, making it a must-have companion when facing particularly formidable opponents. But when there's no battle to be fought, those smoldering talents can still earn their keep around your tribe. Trees have a curious tendency to end up a little more... charred before the Boaratos brings them crashing down. And should you ever find yourself on the winning side of a fight with a Boaratos, let's just say the spoils might be best enjoyed around the breakfast table with a side of eggs. No matter wha
