We are excited to announce that Astraeos, created by the talented Nekatus and sponsored by Nitrado, is ascending into being an Official Partner DLC!

Originally slated as our “June Premium Map Surprise,” we’re bringing it forward– Astraeos will now launch on February 12th for $14.99 as a full-fledged and fully-supported DLC, instead of a Premium Mod!

This stunning -264km² map will be available on all platforms and fully integrated into the main clusters with official servers, making it a seamless addition to your ARK worlds.

Mark your calendars for February 12th and prepare for a massive mythical adventure!
