Pull up a chair, Survivors. Everyone knows the legendary ARK veteran Bob - played by Karl Urban - but you haven't truly heard a tale until you've survived his swashbuckling exploits on the high seas. Hoist the sails and experience his next chapter of incredibly true adventures in ARK Tides of Fortune!

The simulated ocean of Genesis Ascended Part 1 has opened into a massive, map-wide nautical frontier. Chart a course across a vast sea, hunt for buried treasure, and clash with treacherous enemies in explosive naval combat. The new weapons, structures, cosmetics, and exotic creatures can be unleashed across the ARK universe, but the deep physics-driven waters of Genesis are where this swashbuckling arsenal truly comes alive.

Key Features:

Naval Combat & Progression: Construct customizable seaworthy vessels at the Shipyard, from the swift Sloop to the towering Brigantine, and transform them into floating fortresses by building out the decks, painting the hull, and flying your own Jolly Roger. Take the helm to aim and fire broadside cannons solo or as a team, utilizing specialty ammo like Incendiary and Corrosive Cannonballs to send enemy armadas to Davy Jones' locker, all without micromanaging a crew. Further customize your vessel's capabilities across three distinct Ship Skill Trees: Piracy, Merchant, and Luxury.

Tidepup: A semi-aquatic support salamander! The Juvenile shoulder-pet blocks damage and clears debuffs. Ride its Mature form to heal allies inside regenerative zones.

Parrot: Track valuable treasure sources like Cave Crates, Alpha Creatures, and enemy Ships. Completing missions together to earn Bonding Feathers, a resource which substitutes any imprint or passive tame requirement.

Cinematics & Milestones: Track your journey through new milestones! Conquer naval fleets, find treasure, and tame fierce X-Creatures to earn skill points. Hitting thresholds unlocks stunning UE5 cinematics starring Karl Urban and Auli'i Cravalho!

Play as a Legend: Create your character as ""Cinematic Bob"" - featuring the likeness and voice of Karl Urban - or equip his look as a full-body cosmetic outfit. All existing costumes, armor, and styles are fully compatible!

Weapons & Tools: Clear your decks with the brutal Hand Cannon, utilizing unique Grapeshot ammo to deal massive knockback and launch boarders into the drink! Afterward, grab your trusty Shovel and follow drifting Treasure Map Bottles to unearth buried loot on sandy shores.

Pirate Structures: Build land-based Aquatic Compartments to safely breed ocean tames. Keep your booty organized using the Cargo Ledger to link and track nearby storage, then rake in Hexagons by taking on contracts at the Bounty Board or peddling your plunder at the player-driven Market - which also acts as an offshore Hexchange! Finally, show off your rarest deep-sea catches in a fully customizable Fish Tank centerpiece.

High Seas Encounters: Engage in explosive ship-to-ship combat against hostile ships, then breach and sabotage massive Ocean Outposts in thrilling, multi-phase fortress raids.

Pirate Cosmetics & Decor: Build your ultimate haven with the Spanish Colonial tileset and maritime props! Dress as a true buccaneer in the new Scurvy, Fancy, or Captain outfits, complete with peg legs, eye patches, and a Cutlass sword skin!
