The multiplayer dinosaur survival simulator ARK: Survival Ascended will receive an add-on called Lost Colony in November of this year. A short trailer was released for the occasion.

Lost Colony will take players on a battle against the demons of Arata Prime, the birthplace of ARK. The main character, Mei Ying, voiced by actress Michelle Yeoh, will embark on an “intense journey into the heart of darkness.”

The expansion will add powerful Lost character skill trees to ARK: Survival Ascended, as well as give players the ability to craft Cursed tiers of gear and master advanced building systems.

The announcement itself was met with little enthusiasm by users, who in the comments under the video called on the authors to clarify the fate of the full-fledged sequel (it was announced several years ago). “What happened to ARK 2?” prickly_procyonids rightly asks.

The representatives of the Wildcard studio have not forgotten about the existence of the second part, since even in the description under the trailer on YouTube they call the add-on an important link between the previously released add-ons Extinction and Genesis, as well as the upcoming ARK 2.
