Aberration Expansion Now Available on Nintendo Switch
The Aberration expansion is now available for ARK: Survival Evolved players on Nintendo Switch. The expansion drops players into an underground system of different biomes featuring new equipment and hazards as well as new enemies known as the Nameless. These enemies are humanoid creatures that can’t stand being in the light. This port of the 2017 expansion comes from Studio Wildcard and its development partner Grove Street Games, best known for their ports of Rockstar Games’ titles.
Aberration is available for free to players who own ARK: Ultimate Survivor’s Edition, the ARK Season Pass, or the ARK: Ultimate Survivor Edition Upgrade. When it originally launched, the expansion was sold for $19.99. It cannot be purchased by itself on the Nintendo Switch.
