ARK : Expansion Packs (Original Game Soundtrack)

med8r Incredibly, this soundtrack somehow manages to further improve on the fantastic quality of the original soundtrack! The Scorched Earth material alone is worth the price of the whole album. Favorite track: Don't Play the Flame Game (Scorched Earth).

merrydownjade More of one of the best game soundtracks that exists. Favorite track: The Manticore (Scorched Earth).

lammergeier350 This title track is majesty manifest. The layer building that Gareth has been working on since the initial lietmotif has culminated in the absolute best ARK title track. The high brass, the strings, and the energy almost pull you against your will into an explosion of pure hype. I cannot have this song come up in my randoms and not max out my volume. Favorite track: Main Theme (Extinction).

lordchocolate These soundtracks are some of my favorite music. I love the way Gareth Coker develops a theme through them while producing unique and thrilling variations. Favorite track: King Titan (Extinction).

lydesko Les musique sont tellement importante dans un jeu est dans celui-ci la BO est tellement excellente :D

quartzbear I love Gareth Coker's work. It can be both cinematic and deeply emotional at the same time. ARK's soundtrack can really get the blood pumping even outside of the game. I chose Winter Wonderland because I have a special connection to the piece. While everyone was on the ground fighting over presents, I would take my wyvern and fly to the top of the skybox and follow Raptor Claus around. It was a few minutes of peace for me, and a very profound memory. Favorite track: Winter Wonderland Theme.

about

All tracks for the DLCs for ARK. Scorched Earth, Survival of the Fittest, Aberration, Extinction.

As on the main soundtrack, I've taken the liberty to make some custom edits and endings for several of the tracks to make it so they're not just taken straight from the game and to make it a better listening experience.

Thanks to all involved in the production of this huge undertaking that has been a part of my life for 3.5 years!
