Scheduled for April 24, the next ARK: Survival Evolved update on PlayStation 4 (v506) and Xbox One (v753) will add Aquatic & Amphibious Creature Breeding, new dinos, new structures, an Inventory Menu redesign, and more.
Although the current ETA is April 24, Studio Wildcard Co-Founder Jeremy Stieglitz notes that the date is a “bit complicated cause we need to ensure new UI works nicely for console [before] releasing.”
Here’s the patch notes for the next ARK update:

- New Dino: Equus!
- New Dino: Leedsichthys!
- New Dino: Ichthyornis!
- New Dino: Iguanodon!

- Total Inventory Menu redesign (other UI’s coming soon!)

- Sheep now have a “Slaughter” option when you have a club, sword, hatchet etc equipped, also works on PvE
