Studio Wildcard today announced that Valguero Ascended, the fully remastered version of the fan-favorite ARK: Survival Evolved expansion map, is now available for free in ARK: Survival Ascended.
In Valguero Ascended, the ultimate survival experience is sharper, wilder, and deadlier than ever across a vast, diverse world waiting to be explored. Here is where medieval legend and ancient memory intertwine – rolling highlands and towering White Cliffs lie in the shadow of crumbling relics long reclaimed by time. Joining this haunting landscape is the vicious new Megaraptor, a ruthless predator that now stalks prey alongside Valguero’s classic Deinonychus.
The Megaraptor is a terrifying apex predator that dominates as Valguero’s ultimate boss encounter.

The Fantastic Tames: Elderclaw also debuts today, a free new creature for Survivors who own the Lost Colony: Expansion Pass and available separately after January. Lost Colony is the first all-original adventure for ARK: Survival Ascended, a journey into a frozen world where Survivors follow Mei Yin (voiced by Michelle Yeoh in ARK: The Animated Series) on a soul-searching quest deep into the chilling heart of darkness to find answers to long-buried secrets of ARK‘s past.
