ARK: Astraeos

Embark on an epic ARK odyssey with Astraeos! Explore this vast, breathtaking world, steeped in Greek mythology. Spanning over 264km², Astraeos is brimming with stunning scenery, ancient ruins, and sacred temples.

That odyssey now reaches its final chapter with its most ambitious expansion yet: Heaven and the Abyss. A realm of divine trials fit for the pantheon, from floating island peaks to dark abyssal trenches, command ancient warships across violent seas and prove your worth against the legendary horrors of myth.

- Helianthos: A bright, lush island of towering mountain ridges, open flower-filled plains, peaceful creatures, and flying islands suspended high above the landscape.
- Abyssanthos: A fog-shrouded deep-sea expanse with enormous underwater air bubbles supporting a mythical underwater city, providing space for base-building far beneath the surface.
- The Trireme: The ocean is no longer a passive boundary. Dynamic, rolling wave mechanics and new weather events transform the seas into a restless, shifting frontier, giving the new ancient Trireme warship the perfect arena for rough-water navigation.
- The Boaratos: A massive, fiercely aggressive, and scorching new boar found exclusively on Astraeos.
- Two Kraken Ascension Boss Fights: Confront the merciless leviathan in two distinct encounters, one underwater and another at the surface.
- New Minibosses: Face the immense Colossus and the ferocious Kroaratos.
- New Apex Rewards and Cosmetics: Claim Astral Souls as a powerful new Apex drop alongside the Agamemnon Helmet, Trireme Chair, Boaratos Spartan Saddle, Divine Sword, Divine Spear, & Divine Shield.

Beyond the latest additions, the world of Astraeos opens wide with these original features:

- Maeguana: blending agility and a robust, reptilian appearance, its nurturing instincts aid in raising baby creatures, while its skin membrane allows for graceful gliding and safe passage.
- Grand Tortugar: a mobile stronghold built for endurance. Open its carapace and it becomes a living command post, allowing multiple riders to shelter within while defending from behind natural plating. Close it to transform into a near-impenetrable bastion with your crew breathing freely inside.
- Journey across diverse, breathtaking landscapes from the Mediterranean coasts, serene cherry blossom groves, and Appalachian peaks to the harsh, shifting dunes of Pyranthos, where forgotten temples, perilous Artifact Caves, and deadly horrors await. Brave the fiery depths of Volcano Island, dive into an expansive ocean ecosystem, and claim historically inspired ruins or confront the wild extremes of Lemnokis Island, a colossal landmass defined by stunningly diverse microclimates.
- Dynamic weather systems and overhauled lighting reshape the world minute by minute – shifting seamlessly from blinding glare and brilliant sunlight to eerie twilight and suffocating fog.
- Explore challenging, loot-filled labyrinths at your own risk, and test your skills against formidable mythological foes and powerful new bosses. Hunt unique enhanced Alpha Creature variants for valuable loot, and conquer OSDs, Element Veins, and special Supply Drops blessed by Zeus himself!

Astraeos is now complete and the path to Ascension belongs to those who seize it. The gods have set the challenge. Will you bow to fate, or rise in defiance of Olympus?
