Alright, let’s dive into this ramble about Ark: Survival Ascended, a game that’s apparently tossing in a new creature. So, Studio Wildcard—these game dev folks—are dragging a Helicoprion, this long-gone shark thingy from a popular mod, into the game. Why? Who knows. But yeah, they’ve been adding stuff from players a lot lately. It’s like Early Access wasn’t enough; they launched it in October 2023, but here we are still fiddling around with it.
Oh, and there’s a picture. It’s a big ol’ beastie, all bitin’ and buzzin’. Somehow it’s tagged “buzzsaw killer.” I guess that means something. Could chew through a mailbox, maybe? Anyway, it doesn’t really want to mess with players—or so they claim—unless you poke it. And don’t we all have one of those days? The devs, they’re talking about updating it like it’s moving into a new apartment. I doubt it’ll notice but whatever helps them sleep at night.
Cue August 20th music—what even is that? This Helicoprion will turn up in-game for free. No mods needed. Good deal, right? You might figure it’ll be a handy aquatic pet. Ever wanted to explore deep waters with a prehistoric fish pal? Again, why not? Although the whole breedable and mutant-capable stuff is still a bit of a cliffhanger. Who knows what they’re doing.
Meanwhile, the game keeps throwing more aquatic beasties our way like a TikTok trend. Creative? Maybe. Add helicopters? Bet they’d work.
Ah, the buzz about some rando servers called “Expire” that are up until September 1, 2025. How morbidly whimsical! And don’t forget the “Ragnarok transfers” on August 15. Players can just haul stuff around, no biggie. All the while, Studio Wildcard’s tossing around promises for “3 Fantastic Tames” in 2026. That sounds vaguely future-y, doesn’t it?
So, anyway, Ark: Survival Ascended. Still expanding. Still dragging creatures from the past into your digital life. Give it a whirl if you like prehistoric mayhem. Or don’t. Whatever floats your virtual boat. Cheers!
