MANCHESTER, NH - October 10, 2024 - Skymap Games is proud to announce the release of two new Premium Mods for ARK: Survival Ascended, the critically acclaimed survival game by Studio Wildcard in collaboration with CurseForge. The cross-platform mods, Ankizy: Pal Park and Ankizy: Dino Pack, were created in partnership with The Madagascar Ankizy Fund (MAF), a humanitarian organization that helps impoverished children in northwestern Madagascar. Skymap will donate a portion of revenue from the sales of the mods directly to MAF, in support of efforts to better the lives of struggling communities with education, healthcare, and clean sources of water. The Premium Mods will cost $10 USD for the Ankizy Pal Park, and $5 USD for the Ankizy: Dino Pack.
About the Premium Mods
Ankizy: Pal Park is a brand-new single player experience set in Madagascar where players learn about paleontology, Malagasy dinosaurs, and the Malagasy people. As an apprentice paleontologist, you dig up dinosaur bones at the excavation site and rejuvenate the island's unique dinosaurs. As players progress, they unlock "Engrams" used in the Ankizy: Dino Pack.
Ankizy: Dino Pack is a mod that adds three exciting new-to-science dinosaurs to the ARK: Ascended universe along with clothes, structures, and more.
The three new dinosaur species:
- a smaller theropod with distinctive forward-facing sharp teeth.
- a formidable predator that roams the land with powerful jaws and a wild attitude.
- a gentle giant herbivore that towers over the landscape with its long neck and massive size.
Ankizy: Pal Park and Ankizy: Dino Pack are both available starting today, October 11th, 2024. For more info on ARK: Ascended and the new mods, please visit https://playark.com/
