Ark Survival Ascended Lost Colony is built on huge new features like NPC thralls

It’s a milestone year for Ark, and Studio Wildcard is ensuring it’s a memorable one. Celebrating the franchise’s tenth birthday, we’ve already seen Ark Survival Ascended add the remastered Ragnarok DLC to its suite of expansions and receive an engine upgrade. The original game, Ark Survival Evolved, is also getting an unexpected new expansion, Aquatica. But the icing on the birthday cake will be Lost Colony, the first all-new expansion for ASA, which is set to drop in December. In an exclusive interview with PCGamesN, Studio Wildcard co-founders Jesse Rapczak and Jeremy Stieglitz reveal what it’s been like to finally inject some original content into Survival Ascended and discuss some of the new features and innovations the highly anticipated DLC will bring.
