Originally slated as our “June Premium Map Surprise,” we’re bringing it forward– Astraeos will now launch on [b]February 12th[/b] for [b]$14.99 as a full-fledged and fully-supported DLC[/b], instead of a Premium Mod! This stunning -264km² map will be available on all platforms and fully integrated into the main clusters with official servers, making it a seamless addition to your ARK worlds. But the tale of Astraeos doesn’t end at launch. Like myths of old, it will grow over time as Nekatus continues to shape the world, adding new realms, updates and challenges worthy of the gods. Mark your calendars for February 12th and prepare for a massive mythical adventure!
