It’s so fun to see players out there really enjoying what we’ve put together for them. I’m honestly enjoying this unparalleled level of scrutiny on our studio. Today we are celebrating our monumental project launch, while we work on updates. :-)

Speaking entire hypothetically: It's a dick move to remove primary developers from credits in an update, especially when an update includes hundreds of fixes that were provided by those developers that stayed out of players' hands for years.

If you have a Moto G5S Plus, J7 Prime, J7 Pro, or Oppo A71, we are working hard for you! It won't be in tonight's update because the problem is tricky, but we WANT you to play the game as soon as possible! Please be patient ❤️

This poll isn't binding, but I would like to get a community pulse on what our next major project for ARK mobile should be: an engine update that would improve graphics and performance, a brand new small 2x2 km skirmish map, or King of the Hill mode. Go!

Update for Android and iOS will be dropping *today*. HUGE store update with a ton of new cosmetics, new structure types, bug fixes, and tweaks. S7 and S7 edge users who haven't been able to play should be compatible. Excited about it :-)

We were FINALLY able to reproduce the Single Player save loss issue in house. Ended up using a special 100 MB save file and then figured out which crash would corrupt it. Fixed in house, rolling out an update immediately after testing.

Sincerest apologies to players that have dealt with a flood of imbalance on the servers the past few days. We fixed a new exploit and banned over 500 players who decided to cheat rather than play. This slowed down our update, but priority is to protect the game!

Just merged in new rendering code from the latest version of UnrealEngine for Android.. getting improved stability and about 10-15% better performance across the board. Hoping to get this to players probably next week after we're confident from testing.

Putting rumors to rest: Griffins will be in ALL game modes and won't require a purchase to tame but DO have very high standards, the glowing survivor I posted has grafted "Ultimacy" to their implant which is purely cosmetic, and YES there is another new creature in the update.

Little piece of ARK mobile history. Picture of the first running build. We moved the engine from 4.5 to 4.17 and once we got it booting in a test map this was what we saw on a Google Pixel (!) on Dec 30th, 2016.

Seeing some confusion about this: dungeons will be available in ALL game modes including single player, PvP, and PvE. We hope to let unofficial server admins and god console owners switch to previously available dungeon layouts/blueprints, though that may not be ready at launch.

Proud of the hardworking professionals at GSG. 18 simultaneous product releases is very demanding! Thankful to have a partner like Rockstar. They are the best in the business.

Planning on a late March minor update with a some new features and QoL improvements while we work on dungeons. A "Tidy Save" button will be added in single player to dramatically reduce save file size so they can be stored on the cloud more easily and improve stability.

First look at the dungeon map. Unlike on the Island, the dungeon map will maintain a fog, except immediately around your player. You'll only have a sense of your immediately surroundings and your overall position in the dungeon.

There will be a mobile exclusive creature in the dungeons. It will be EXTREMELY rare, and a crowning achievement for players that obtain it. This will probably be the only time you hear about it until someone finds one and successfully tames it after release.

As art ages, what was at the time a mistake becomes an homage, it becomes history. It's preservation is important. Han shoots first. One small step for man. Some mistakes should be rectified, and some should be preserved. Being on the deciding end is a heavy responsibility.

In their first week, the dungeons were entered 236,000 times. 2,340,000 chests were opened. Despite the rollout issues, I'm excited players are enjoying the new experiences we're offering and there is SO much more in store with this mysterious new part of the Island.

No matter how much you test the community will always find more! We are working hard today to submit a patch to address the biggest dungeon related issues seen so far. Including making the lava trap a little easier ;-)

Still working on Android fixes! Last update fixed close to 50% of all crashes. In the mean time, our artists have been cooking up some cool new swag for the big tribe bases, check it out. Can switch poses, mirror each other for either side of a gate, looks good painted!

Couple bug fixes being worked on at the moment for hopefully a quick update turn around (by end of week? I hope). Including memory crash issues, kill volumes for undermeshing being a bit overzealous, and increasing auto turret dmg in hard and brutal.

We teased a place you haven’t seen before for ARK for 2019. Some more info: it’s not what you think, it’s immense, and it uses fairly new technology. Hope to tell you more soon!

So ARK Mobile barely fits on our min spec devices. As time goes on, your phone's OS hogs more memory, and we add more content. So things are bound to get even tighter. We are working on memory this month, but in the mean time, if you are crashing a lot, hard restart your phone!

I’ll say this once. I cannot possibly personally respond to individual concerns. Anything and everything that gets sent to Rockstar support is collated and considered. Send everything there!

Top view of using 8 rounded sections of the new battlements to make a circular enclosure. This would only be accessible by ladder or flyer, though. We are adding ladder snap points to these so you can climb and walk along the top easily.

60 new servers by end of night tonight. We're in the midst of testing more crash fixes for Android. If that works out that's our third day in a row of Android patches. We will continue to work this hard until we fix every purchase, compatibility, black screen, or saving issue.

We're planning on adding an implant request system for Feb update. If you've lost an implant for a tame, you'll be able to request it and get it when the server restarts (or immediately in single player).

While the rest of the team is working on fixes, improvements and new features, one of our artists has been doing a pass on tweaking the baby visuals for the creatures to make babies more realistic and (hopefully) cuter! Take a look.

It's come to my attention that a ROYAL family of griffins is taking roost on Far's Peak in the near future. These are unlike any other griffins ever seen on ARK. They are clever, powerful, and will require your respect.

Worked out a way to add the popular Single Player "admin" commands to ARK Mobile. $15 for permanent access. If you buy this, you are essentially buying the single player mode and rightfully should have full access. It should be available sometime this month.

Been adding a good number of Pursuits for the next update. Mostly "stuff to do" but fun rewards including stuff you'd normally need Amber to obtain. We've also added super useful new free engram... something to make taming the bigger creatures easier...

We're reviewing another minor update for release in the next few days. Significant stability improvements on both iOS and Android, even low memory devices. Also bug fixes for Griffin and Equus.

Our next major update will feature more comprehensive server statistics. Picking a server a big decision! You'll be able to tell servers are at high capacity, which ones have more survivors with paid items, and track population and activity over the course of the day and month.
