ARK: Ultimate Mobile Edition Launches a New Expansion, Genesis Part I

It’s been a decade since the ARK series kicked off with ARK: Survival Evolved, and the epic survival adventure continues to evolve. With regular updates across its expanding universe, the franchise shows no signs of slowing down. ARK: Ultimate Mobile Edition is keeping pace, delivering a major content update with Genesis Part I.

The mission-driven expansion arrives on mobile for the first time

In ARK: Ultimate Mobile Edition, Genesis Part I plunges survivors into an intense virtual simulation filled with danger and discovery. Beyond surviving in the wild, players are now drawn into a deeper narrative, unraveling a complex mystery through structured missions that combine combat, exploration, and strategic decision-making.

Guided by your robotic companion HLN-A, you’ll traverse treacherous swamps teeming with threats, navigate volcanic zones inhabited by fiery creatures, dive into oceans patrolled by colossal sea turtles, and even venture into outer space—where gravity fades and massive space whales drift silently through the void.

Developed by Grove Street Games in collaboration with Studio Wildcard, Genesis Part I on mobile captures the grandeur and depth of the original PC and console versions. Experience the same intricate biomes and sci-fi intrigue that made ARK: Genesis a standout chapter in the series—all optimized for mobile play.
