Want to make maps without learning the ARK Dev Kit or needing a high-powered PC? ARK Maker brings map-building directly into ARK: Survival Ascended, giving you a faster, more approachable way to build, edit, and experiment with custom environments right from within the game on any ASA platform.
With ARK Maker, you’ll be able to edit existing maps, create entirely new ones, place and modify actors, create reusable templates, edit properties, adjust world settings, add and configure volumes and spawners, apply mods and skin packs, and write functional Lua scripts in-game using a Blueprint API.
ARK Maker is built to put worldbuilding in more players’ hands, making it easier to shape custom server playgrounds, community-built adventures, visual showcases, experimental game modes, and entirely new ways to play across the ARK.
Creations made with ARK Maker are planned to be shareable through the Mod Browser, letting other players download, explore, and play what you build. Whether you’re crafting a map for your tribe, designing a custom experience for your server, or just seeing how far your imagination can push the ARK, ARK Maker is built to put worldbuilding in more players’ hands.
ARK Maker is currently planned to release in Q3 2026.
