Questions

FAQ

What is Shadow ARK?

Shadow ARK is an upcoming ARK: Survival Ascended (ASA) cross-play PvP server with a hand-tuned combat meta, custom dino & item balance, the sought-after Paleo dino mod and a no-wipe world. PC, PS5 and Xbox players play together.

Which platforms can play?

Cross-play across PC (Steam/Epic), PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on the same PvP server.

Is Shadow ARK no-wipe?

Yes. The world is no-wipe: your progress stays. A boosted New-Player map also launches one month after release so newcomers can catch up.

What makes it different from other ASA PvP servers?

A hand-tuned combat meta with rebalanced dinos (buffs & nerfs) and a curated weapon arsenal, the Paleo creature mod few PvP servers run, +40 custom caves, fast farming with vanilla-balanced fighting, and an anti-zerg ruleset (4-Man tribes, no alliances).

How much does it cost to join?

Joining the Discord and playing is free. There is no payment on this site.

Release date: coming soon.
