Ah, Ark: Survival Ascended! It’s like this never-ending sandbox of prehistoric pandemonium, always tossing in new stuff, and this time—get this—they’re adding the Helicoprion. Yep, the buzzsaw shark. Why? Who knows. Someone at Studio Wildcard must’ve thought, “You know what would be cool? A shark that looks like it flosses with power tools.” Anyway, yeah, it’s from this mod by Garuga123. Wild, right?
Oh, and fun fact (or maybe not-so-fun), they’ve had some bug patches. Like, a LOT. One update in July 2025 was meant to fix frame rates. And bugs during sandstorms. Sandstorms! I mean, I can barely handle a power outage, let alone a digital sandstorm. What’s more fun than dealing with those while trying to farm silica pearls, am I right? Somehow they fixed it, or at least they say they did.
Helicoprion’s officially joining the chaos on August 20, 2025. Mark that fishy day. It’s not just some mod anymore. It’s going mainstream! No need for downloads, which is… convenient? Just swim around, find this chill shark-hybrid-thing, and try not to tick it off. Word is, it likes Ammonite… whatever that is. Are they the tiny squish toys of the sea? Whatever, huge bonus if you’re into underwater craft shenanigans. That jaw, man. It’s like a Swiss Army knife masquerading as teeth.
Now, I can’t help but wonder, will it breed? Like, are we going to see tiny buzzsaw fish babies? I mean, you’d think if you can tame it, you could breed it, right? Makes sense in the bizarre world of Ark.
Circling back, just because I can, Ragnarok transfers are also a thing. August 15, folks, so jot that down. Move your dinos, characters, your entire world if you want. Plus, these “Expire” servers are hitting until September 1, 2025. It almost sounds like a bad dream—like waking up and realizing your server poofed away into the digital void.
And long story short, players can look forward to all sorts of stuff on the horizon. Studio Wildcard has a roadmap (or maybe it’s more like a napkin sketch). Anyway, they teased us with “Fantastic Tames.” Yeah, sounds super descriptive, right? Guess we’ll wait and see what that’s all about.
So, that’s the scoop or the ramble for now. Ark’s like this endless buffet of prehistoric creatures and tech glitches. But you know what? It keeps us coming back, like moths to a flame—or players to a buzzsaw shark.
