Game overview

What is ARK The Center DLC?

The Center is a free add-on for ARK, it's a massive new map for survivors to explore, nearly double the size of The Island (about 70 sq. kilometres in size). The Center compliments the current ARK biomes with rich hand-drawn Tolkien-esque aesthetics. There are lava rivers, huge picturesque mountains, ancient underground caves, misty floating islands and so much more!

  • Floating Island
  • Edge of the world/GIANT waterfalls
  • A vast underground world with its own ecosystem/sun (Large enough to build huge cities in)
  • Lava Biome
  • Large underwater air bubbles found deep in the ocean for building bases in
  • Massive Ancient Ruins scattered throughout the world
  • Challenging End-Game Boss Encounters with Special Rewards!
  • Unique level design with tons of verticality
  • Features all the regular ARK biomes from "The Island"
  • Vast Ocean Systems
  • Giant Ice caverns with etched out ice ruins
  • Lava caverns
  • Several unique cave systems, both regular and underwater

Cluster servers with cross-server travel using the ARK gateway system are easy to setup and use on our services, all you need to do is configure the command line on each of the servers and everything is automatically setup! Our systems will handle the rest and link the servers.

You can choose to either run two or more servers in a multi-server cluster, or run multiple maps on a single server and use the ARK obelisks to transfer items between them. This gives you the flexibility to switch between servers anytime you want, each server can have a completely different map, configurations and even different mods loaded!
