Ark: Ultimate Mobile Edition has just unveiled its new Genesis Part 1 expansion pack, enhancing the mobile gaming experience for fans of the sci-fi dino-survival genre. This latest addition takes players on a thrilling adventure through a virtual simulation, filled with new story-driven missions that promise to engage both new and veteran players. Unlike the previous expansion, Extinction, which added new sandbox maps, Genesis Part 1 dives deeper into the game’s narrative. Players will find themselves trapped in a mysterious simulation alongside a robotic companion named HLN-A.
To survive and uncover the mystery, gamers must navigate various challenging missions which will test their combat, exploration, and strategic skills. The expansion features diverse environments, ranging from eerie bogs and volcanic landscapes to deep oceans and low-gravity lunar terrains, inhabited by unique creatures like Magmasaurs, giant sea turtles, and space whales. Ark: Ultimate Mobile Edition operates on a free-to-play model, but expansions such as Genesis Part 1 require separate purchases. Previously launched expansions have been priced around $5.99.
For those who desire even more content, the ARK Subscription Pass offers access to all expansion packs, as well as exclusive in-game items like the God Console for single-player modes at a monthly fee of $4.99. With the Ark franchise celebrating its 10th anniversary, players can also take advantage of special discounts, including 20% off in-game currency known as Keys, making it an excellent time to dive into the new expansion. If you believe your favorite mobile game deserves recognition, consider nominating it for the 2025 edition of the Pocket Gamer People’s Choice Awards, now open for submissions.
