As described above, the main addition found within ARK update 2.43 is new content to kick off the Genesis 2 Chronicles celebration. For those unfamiliar, Studio Wildcard has used Chronicles events over the past few years to drum up hype for upcoming expansions. These updates feature new and free objectives for players to complete, typically focused on Explorer Notes scattered around various maps. Find them all, and you’ll be privy to special cosmetics related to the Genesis Part II expansion releasing in March. So far, survivors have been able to try their hand at unlocking Federation Exo boots.
A new twist in the conversation, however, is the surprise reveal of ARK 2 during Thursday night’s Game Awards. While the jury is still out on how the upcoming title will appeal to ARK’s passionate community, official social media sources have teased that item’s found in today’s update might be relevant to the new project. After all, we already know the title follows the ongoing story of Santiago that’s already been established in the current game. With that in mind, this patch might take that narrative one level deeper. Beyond that, however, the list of meaningful changes is pretty thin.
ARK: Survival Evolved is available now on PC, Xbox One, PS4, Switch, Mac and Linux.
