Genesis Ascended Part 1 went live on July 3, 2026 in ARK: Survival Ascended. It brings the Genesis Part 1-exclusive X-Creatures back to the Genesis Part 1 map and adds five new variants on top of that.
This is a remake of the original Genesis Part 1, rebuilt with updated tech and new features, and it drops those distinctive color-patterned creatures into the Bog, Snow, Ocean biomes. The lineup includes X-Rex, X-Allosaurus, X-Ankylosaurus, X-Rock Elemental, X-Yutyrannus, X-Sabertooth, X-Otter, X-Spino, X-Raptor, X-Megalodon, X-Mosasaurus, and X-Basilosaurus.
And they aren’t there just for looks. Wild X-Creatures hit for roughly 250% more damage, take about 60% less damage from you and your tames, and need around 2.5 times more tranquilizers before you can tame them. Once they’re tamed, they deal about 5% more damage and come with roughly 3% less health. Killing one also gives about 2.5 times the usual XP.
The five new variants are X-Acro, X-Deinosuchus, X-Archelon, X-Xiphactinus, and X-Cryolophosaurus. Exact spawn locations still seem like something the community will have to pin down through reports, especially in Lunar.
If you’re jumping back into Genesis Part 1, this update is worth grabbing. Just expect a tougher fight, a longer tame, and a better reward.
You can play Genesis Ascended Part 1 now in ARK: Survival Ascended on the Genesis Part 1 map.
