"Ark: Ultimate Mobile Edition Unveils Genesis Part 1 Expansion"

by Ethan Jun 23,2025

With the launch of ARK: Ultimate Mobile Edition's Genesis Part 1 expansion, survival just got a whole lot more intense. This isn’t just another sandbox update—this time, it's about uncovering a gripping new story while facing off against some of the most terrifying creatures ever to roam (or swim, or fly) in the ARK universe.

You begin the adventure waking up inside a strange virtual simulation, with only your robotic companion HLN-A to guide you. From there, you’ll battle your way through an all-new narrative-driven experience that pushes your combat, survival, and tactical skills to the limit. Traverse treacherous environments ranging from deep ocean trenches to low-gravity lunar surfaces, each teeming with dangerous new lifeforms like Magmasaurs, giant sea turtles, and space whales.

Unlike previous expansions such as Extinction, which focused on open-world exploration, Genesis Part 1 places you at the center of a carefully crafted storyline filled with mystery, danger, and discovery. It’s a bold shift in tone and gameplay that adds fresh depth to the already expansive world of ARK: Ultimate Mobile Edition.

Of course, none of this comes free. While the base game remains free-to-play, expansions must be purchased separately—typically priced at $5.99 each. Alternatively, players can opt for the ARK Subscription Pass, available for $4.99/month, which grants access to all current and upcoming expansions, plus exclusive perks like the God Console for single-player worlds.

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the ARK franchise, keep an eye out for special discounts—Keys (the in-game currency) are currently enjoying a 20% discount, giving you more power to shape your world.
