Five-Headed Hydra Boss, The Grand Tortugar Mobile Fortress, and New Desert Wasteland Arrive – Gameplay Trailer Debuts at IGN Fan Fest

SEATTLE, WA – February 25, 2026 – Studio Wildcard today unleashes the “Astraeos Mega Update,” a massive expansion to the mythic, Greek Odyssey-inspired world in ARK: Survival Ascended. This massive update introduces the Pyranthos landmass, a tamable amphibious fortress, and a brutal five-headed Hydra boss encounter. During today’s IGN Fan Fest, the first gameplay trailer revealing the new Pyranthos region debuted and the update is available now to play on PlayStation 5, Xbox X|S, Epic Games Store and Steam.

Originally launched as a community mod by acclaimed creator Nekatus before becoming an Official Partner DLC, Astraeos continues to evolve with new creatures, bosses, cosmetics, and myth-inspired gameplay challenges. The Astraeos Mega Update marks the largest expansion to the map since its debut. This week the Astraeos map is 67% off on Steam and Xbox ($4.94 USD) – the biggest discount yet! 

WHAT’S NEW IN ASTRAEOS?

The Pyranthos Wasteland
Astraeos expands with a vast new desert region shaped by myth and ruin. Shifting sands reveal forgotten structures, buried pathways, and unexplored artifact caves, while powerful creatures roam both surface and subterranean depths. This hostile new zone is built for exploration and punishes the unprepared.

The Grand Tortugar
To survive the dangerous wasteland, you’ll need more than shelter. The Grand Tortugar is a colossal amphibious living fortress built for endurance. Traverse land and ocean floor while harvesting valuable resources, open its armored carapace to create a roaming command post, or seal it shut to transform into a nearly unbreakable bastion. It’s not just a mount – it’s a war machine.

A Herculean Challenge Arises!
Buried deep within the Pyranthos ruins lies Astraeos’ greatest threat yet! The five-headed Hydra will demand teamwork, timing, and overwhelming firepower. Severing each head from the body changes the flow of combat, forcing teams to work together or fall to the beast.

ARK: Survival Ascended includes access to all of ARK’s worlds, including Scorched Earth, Aberration, Extinction, ARK Genesis Part 1 and Part 2. Available now on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Windows PC and Steam, players will create a Survivor, form a tribe, and then tame, train, breed & ride dinosaurs within a living ecosystem.

Nerial and Devolver Digital have teamed up with CD PROJEKT RED to create Reigns: The Witcher, a fresh dark-fantasy take on the multi-million-selling Reigns series, available now on PC and mobile platforms.

Step into the muddy boots of professional monster slayer Geralt of Rivia — but this time, from a different perspective. Throughout CD PROJEKT RED’s The Witcher series of games, players have followed Geralt’s adventures on the Path. Now, in Reigns: The Witcher, the legends take on a life of their own through the gilded tongue of Geralt’s oldest friend: Dandelion the bard. Every choice is a verse, every misstep a stanza, and every bath an opportunity for a ballad.

Swipe Your Destiny

From contracts and conspiracies to angry villagers and hotheaded sorceresses, your decisions carry weight across the Continent. A casual swipe left or right may win you renown among nobles, enrage a rabble of mages, or leave you knee-deep in drowners. As any good witcher knows, few requests are as simple as they first appear.

Familiar Faces, Tall Tales

Along the Path you’ll find the company of Yennefer, Triss, Vesemir, and a roster of other beloved allies and adversaries. But remember: when filtered through Dandelion’s quill, even the most mundane of errands can become an audacious epic — or a slightly exaggerated disaster.

Songs, Swords, and Swipes

Players will weave Geralt’s legend through branching stories, bardic embellishments, and thousands of narrative combinations, with Dandelion himself conducting the chorus of fate. Between verses, the White Wolf still gets plenty of work done: combat minigames pit Geralt against drowners, rotfiends, and other foes both real and curiously improvised.

The Bard’s Encore

From taverns to far-flung villages, Reigns: The Witcher invites players to expand Dandelion’s ever-growing repertoire. Perform new “greatest hits” across the land, twist familiar stories into fresh tales, and shape the saga of the White Wolf — in ways both dramatic and absurd — on your quest for lyrical immortality.

Whether you’re crafting an epic for the ages or just trying not to drown in a swamp,Reigns: The Witcher will offer a new perspective on one of gaming’s most storied heroes — one swipe, one song, and one scandal at a time.Reigns: The Witcher is available now on PC and mobile platforms for 5,99€.
