LOS ANGELES – Snail Games expands the world of PixARK, the open world voxel-based sandbox survival game, with all new areas to explore in the Skyward expansion.

A new update for the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 will also be coming on August 21, allowing split screen and local co-op play for the first time.
In Skyward, players face off against the Cobaltianians, an alien race threatening to deplete the world of its mineral supply. Daring adventurers will be rewarded for their bravery as they journey to each of the new islands in search of resources to upgrade their technology, push back the invading aliens, and restore balance in PixARK.

New Ruins – Players can take on special bosses, from Cobaltianian offers, Behemoth and the Ghost Dragon King to obtain special equipment and armor, or drop into Wyvern nests to hatch their own Wyvern. featuring fresh biomes and creatures, with new types of loot waiting to be obtained.
