Regions of Astraeos

Overview

Embark on an epic odyssey in the world of ARK with Astraeos, developed by Nekatus in partnership with Nitrado! Explore this vast, breathtaking map, steeped in Greek mythology, where majestic mountain ridges and marble cliffs meet pristine white sand beaches and a paradise of cherry blossoms. Spanning over 264 square kilometers, Astraeos is brimming with stunning scenery, ancient ruins, and sacred temples. Confront powerful new bosses, enhanced alpha dino variants with valuable loot, and a fearsome miniboss lurking within mysterious caves.

Here's a glimpse of what awaits you:

The Maeguana: Spawning exclusively on Astraeos, this striking Maewing variant blends 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.
A sprawling 264 sq km map: With over 70 sq km ready to explore at launch, uncover every corner of this massive new world.
Diverse biomes: Journey through landscapes inspired by the Mediterranean coast, the serene beauty of cherry blossoms, and the rugged terrain of Appalachia.
An expansive ocean ecosystem: Uncover the mysteries hidden beneath the waves.
Volcano Island: Brave the fiery home of lightning creatures.
Ancient ruins and sacred temples: Claim these historically inspired sites as your own.
Challenging dungeons: Explore these loot-filled labyrinths at your own risk.
Powerful new bosses and minibosses: Feeling Herculean? Test your skills against these formidable mythological foes!
Enhanced Alpha Creature variants: Hunt these unique creatures for valuable loot.
Level up your loot: Blessed by Zeus himself, conquer OSDs, Element Veins, and loot special Supply Drops!

Regularly planned updates will include additional biomes, points of interests, buildable caves, mini bosses and more!
