Fans are looking forward to the Ark Survival Ascended Scorched Earth release date, which is now confirmed to be on April 1st, 2024. With the release of The Center map delayed indefinitely, Scorched Earth might be the first official alternative map to be made available on this multiplayer survival-craft game.
With the content of this Wild West-themed map being remade with Unreal Engine 5, players can expect some differences from the original. Here's everything you need to know about Ark Survival Ascended Scorched Earth.
Ark Survival Ascended Scorched Earth release time: when does it go live?
In a recent blog post, Studio Wildcard has confirmed the official release time for the Ark Survival Ascended Scorched Earth DLC. The update goes live on at 4:00 PM PST for both PC and Console users. However, the exact time is still subject to change, as the blog post mentions:
"Note that this may get adjusted and we'll update this post accordingly."
Keeping with the tradition of delays in Studio Wildcard’s track record, this DLC is coming a few months after its originally planned release window. That said, the current confirmed release date is not an April Fool's joke like many fans feared - it's actually happening. The paid Frontier Adventure pack will also follow suit.
What to expect from Ark Survival Ascended Scorched Earth
With its release on April 1, 2024, the Ark Survival Ascended DLC will bring a lot to the table for beginners and veterans of the game. Players might see new skins, dinos, and more from this DLC, along with the new west-themed map.
Scorched Earth cost $19.99 when it was first released for Ark Survival Evolved. However, Scorched Earth world expansion will be free for Ark Survival Ascended, except for the Frontier Adventure Pack that comes with the release. Here's everything one might get with this DLC pack.
The Desert Map
Among all the ARK series maps, this map is one of the most difficult to survive. The map is not surrounded by the ocean like the others and features meager natural water resources, making it difficult for players to get water. While there are little ponds that one can get water from, it can be difficult for them to store it since the harsh heat in the map can evaporate stored water quickly.
The map also features extreme weather conditions and a hostile environment, giving players a hard time. While playing on this map can be fun, dealing with the difficult living conditions can also be frustrating for Ark Survival Ascended players.
New dinosaurs
The Ark Survival Ascended Scorched Earth will bring new dinos to the game. As the name of the map suggests, the new lineup of dinos will mostly consist of land and flying dinosaurs, along with new water dinos. Studio Wildcard will most likely bring in the same creatures available in Ark Survival Evolved's Scorched Earth. Here is the list of all the dinos that players might see with the release of Scorched Earth on Survival Ascended.
- Death Worm
- Manticore
- Jerboa
- Jug Bug
- Fasolasuchus
- Lymantria
- Mantis
- Morellatops
- Vulture
While these creatures will originally come as a part of the Scorched Earth DLC, they might not be limited to the Desert Map. Additionally, since these are the expected creatures, one can only know more details about these dinos once the expansion is released for Ark Survival Ascended.
With a new map and a roster of magnificent dinos, the DLC will also bring new Wild West-themed skins.
