About ARK: Anomaly

ARK: Anomaly brings a dark-fantasy theme to ARK: Survival Evolved. In its story, rifts open on the ARK and let through monsters from a ruined world of magic, which also changes the native wildlife. It suits players who want new creatures to tame and bosses to fight without switching to a full overhaul.

  • New creatures to discover and tame, along with new items and equipment.
  • Boss encounters, including the Dreadwyrm, which the mod classes as a boss creature.
  • Balanced around vanilla settings.
  • Spawns on most maps, though not every creature appears on every map.

The mod continues the earlier ARK: Otherlands project. The author has put it on hiatus: bug fixes still arrive, but new content is not expected.

Steam Workshop Description

ID: 2457457085

Hey all! For now, the mod is on hiatus and will likely not be getting new content, but will still be getting bug fixes. here and there. This mod has been so amazingly successful, which I want to thank you all for!

This mod is also a revival of the mod ARK: Otherlands, which I got the files for after the original dev decided to pursue other things.

An anomaly in space-time has caused an ARK to become intertwined with a land of magic and monsters! Once a technological utopia, the land was subject to a war against a powerful entity which resulted in it's destruction. Though weakened, the entity desired to expand its kingdom further. Rifts suddenly began to appear on ARKs, injecting them with new creatures and altering its natives. While the entity behind all this has yet to be discovered, minions have begun to pioneer through to begin yet another hostile takeover. However, this is where you come in, survivor. They have no idea who they're dealing with.

Discover and tame dangerous new beasts, acquire new items and equipment, and defeat powerful bosses with ARK: Anomaly!
