"Ark: Survival Evolved still currently resides in Steam’s Early Access programme, however that hasn’t stopped the dino-bashing survival sim from launching its first premium expansion: Scorched Earth. It’s a questionable move from an as yet unreleased game, however Ark is certainly on the more accomplished end of the game-in-progress scale." - PC Gamer
Ark Aquatica is the first official DLC to tell a non-canonical mythical story, expanding the ARK universe into new dimensions of survival.

Speaking with Game Rant, Ark director Jeremy Stieglitz outlines the approaches taken to adapting the game's plot for the animated series.

Studio Wildcard has launched a 'major' update for ARK: Survival Evolved's modding software, ARK Development Kit, available now.
Well this is a new low, DLC for an unfinished game, couldn't even wait till the game was finished and released before working on or releasing DLC
I don't mind this, but seems to me like they could be using these resources to finish the game
Played Ark on xbox since first day of preview. I refuse to buy this until the main game is finished. Bad form WC
Early Access is for fans to help fund the development of the game. Yet they take the funds from the millions of buyers to make paid additions when the game still looks and runs like shit on PC and Xbox One. They still havent even put DX12 in the game when they said it would be at launch. They even made a FreeToPlay version of the game FFS. I don't see how Steam doesn't have rules in place to stop DLC before a game is even done.
