Studio Wildcard hat jetzt Patch 257 für ARK: Survival Evolved veröffentlicht. Er ergänzt vier Kreaturen und führt laut der englischen Patchnotes diese Änderungen bzw. Optimierungen durch:

• Structure: Tek Cloning Chamber – Spend some shards, get a clone, with the level, appearance and stats, of your favorite creatures
• Structure: Tek Megalodon Saddle – Mount up! Now your prehistoric shark has a laser-firing saddle!
• Structure: Tek Turret – An enhanced Auto Turret with more damage and a better targeting AI. What more could you need?
• Weapon: Tek Grenade – Did someone say “sticky grenades”? Put ’em on your friends (or not!)
• TEK Cave & Volcano – The Volcano finally receives its long overdue, scorching redesign – and now leads to the entrance to the TEK Cave.
• “Ascension” Game Progression
• More UI overhauls
• New Hairstyle and Facial Hair
• Approximately 20+ New Explorer Notes
• 15 new music tracks, per-biome and situational
