There is only one map (The Island) in ARK: Survival Ascended, so you won't have to think twice about what map to choose. But that will change as developers plan to add all maps known from ARK: Survival Evolved. We'll update this page as soon as new maps arrive, as I'm already thinking about how to ascend in ASA as fast as possible. But for now, there's not much to choose from.

While The Island is the only map available in ARK: Survival Ascended, you can find names of other levels in the multiplayer option in-game. As such, we know the complete list of ASA maps:

  • The Island
  • Scorched Earth
  • Aberration
  • Ragnarok
  • Extinction

I'm looking forward to playing other maps in ARK: Ascended, but in the meantime, there is a lot to be done on this island map filled with predators like T-Rex (that I managed to tame).

To conclude, the best order to complete maps in ARK Survival Ascended (ASA) is to start with The Island map and go from there when new maps arrive.
