ARK: Tides of Fortune and ARK: Dragontopia are two distinct, significant downloadable content (DLC) expansions for the ARK universe, offering new gameplay experiences and content.

Players can expect new weapons, structures, cosmetics, and exotic creatures like Tidepups and parrots, alongside a cinematic experience featuring the legendary ARK veteran Bob, voiced by Karl Urban ⁵⁷. While its elements can be used across the ARK universe, the deep waters of Genesis are where its features truly shine ⁵⁸.
