Just because you’re rocking a Nintendo Switch instead of a PlayBox 360 doesn’t mean you’re left out of the dino-tastic fun of ARK: Survival Evolved. The prehistoric-themed sandbox released the free Genesis Part 2 update for Switch players this week.
“This massive free expansion map lets Survivors explore a vast new world teeming with strange biomes and creatures on a colony ship traveling through deep space,” Studio Wildcard said. “Throughout this adventure, Survivors can engage in story missions to conclude the ARK saga with a final confrontation between the AI companion HLN-A, voiced by Madeleine Madden (The Wheel of Time), versus the deranged Sir Edmund Rockwell, voiced by David Tennant (Doctor Who)!”
The content update includes new story missions and associated rewards, a giant starship with multiple biomes to explore, an array of odd alien critters to exploit or exterminate, and fun new tools like remote cameras, hoversails, and an incubator.
Genesis Part 2 is a free download… if you have the Ultimate Survivor Edition on the Switch. Alternatively, it can be purchased or upgraded.
