UPDATE TWO: The new ARK Survival Evolved Update on PS4 and Xbox One is now live and available to download. Studio Wildcard have confirmed that the PlayStation patch weighs in at around 8.79GB, while the Xbox One verision is a much more hefty 18GB. This is likely due to the Xbox build being much older and more of it needing to be replaced to improve certain areas of the game. The new update includes a Megalodon's worth of additions, from four prehistoric creatures (swarms of Giant Bees, anyone?) to more futuristic TEK gear including grenades and turrets, while also adding more hairstyles, new music tracks and a re-working of the volcano. For full details and patch notes, see below: The official ARK Survival Evolved patch notes for the new PS4 and Xbox One update that can be found below: Structure: Tek Cloning Chamber - Spend some shards, get a clone, with the level, appearance and stats, of your favorite creatures

ARK Creatures added: Apis Lithohermaea (Giant Bee) - Basically giant prehistoric bees, Apis are quite territorial. When encountering these fuzzy yellow nightmares, take caution: Apis stings will significantly weaken any creature which suffers them, and because its stinger is not barbed, Apis can sting multiple times for multiple agonies. A tamed Apis Queen will lay new drone eggs, and construct a nest that (protected) survivors can farm for honey. The honey is not only sweet and delicious, but laced with scents that land mammals find irresistible, so clever hunters can use it to bait their traps. Kentrosaurus Aethiopicus - A smaller, but sometimes much more formidable cousin of the Stegosaurus, Kentrosaurus is one hell of a close-quarters combatant. Thanks to its wickedly sharp defensive spikes, any creature which attacks Kentrosaurus is likely to be reversely wounded in turn, and it is capable of piercing even the thickest of hides and armors when it goes on the offensive. A tamed herd of Kentrosaurus can defend a compound as well as take on any larger carnivore. One swing of its deadly tail can save a survivor's life, or even turn the tide of a pitched battle! Alas, due to their spiked back, the Kentrosaurus cannot be ridden, even when tamed.

Liopleurodon Magicus - There are rumours circulating the tribes of The Island claiming that this beast has magical properties, however, the sightings have been rare so it's hard to decipher old tribe tales from the actual truth. Whatever the case, this mythical creature has been said to have the ability to reward the adventurous survivors who tame it, the special attribute of luck. Treasure hunting tribes who have encountered the beast have used this magic to obtain loot beyond their wildest dreams. You're probably wondering why these claims are tales, well it's said that the Lucky Liopleurodon's magic is so powerful, it cannot be kept under control, and after some time, it harnesses this power to get away. Daeodon Comedentis- Daeodon Comedentis is the largest known species of entelodont, an omnivorous family of ancient mammals that are sometimes referred to as “Hell Pigs.” Daeodon is as mean as it looks, and any survivor who wanders too close to its feeding grounds will find that out the hard way. As an omnivore with a voracious appetite, Daeodon scavenges, forages, and hunts to survive. Its uncommonly high metabolism enables it to heal very rapidly, making it a difficult beast to bring down or even tranquilize. Many tribes have made excellent use of Daeodon packs within their war parties, not only because of its fierce nature but due to its remarkable ability to rapidly heal itself and its allies.

STUDIO WILDCARD The new ARK Survival Evolved PS4 and Xbox One update goes live very soon

UPDATE: The new ARK Survival Evolved update for PS4 and Xbox One is going live within the hour on both consoles. Xbox players should see a download appear very soon, while PlayStation users will have to wait until around 9:30pm, BST. The latest from Studio Wildcard confirms: "Console patches are expected to go live today at 4pm EST (Xbox) and 4:30pm EST (PS4). See you then." Having been delayed due to critical issues popping up during the certification process, fans will soon have access to a wealth of new TEK tier content, as well as dangerous new creatures to encounter.

STUDIO WILDCARD The new ARK Survival Evolved update on PS4 and Xbox One has been delayed

UPDATE ONE: ARK Survival Evolved's latest update has been delayed on PS4 and Xbox One, for differing reasons. Studio Wildcard has confirmed that critical issues were flagged by Microsoft following the certification process, leading to a delay in deployment. The launch could still happen later today, although no ETA or release window has been provided so far. "We were contacted a little while ago by Microsoft regarding some testing they were doing on ARK, and they reported that they had found some critical issues related to the game," a message from Studio Wildcard explains. "It should be noted that these issues did not appear in the certification for 754, nor during internal testing but we want to take precaution so we're holding this update to heavily iterate on it tonight to ensure that is the case. Assuming this goes well, we will be planning on releasing the update tomorrow." The ARK Survival Evolved PS4 version has a different problem and there is no current date on when the patch will go live. "The reason for this delay is simpler, it just needs some extra time to be worked on and taken through cert. I know, that sucks, and you guys are excited to get the patch, once we're able to release it we shall. "Thanks and we're sorry about the delay, we do want to get this out to you as soon as we can, but also want it to be as good as it can be."
