ARK: Survival Evolved News

Welcome to another edition of the Community Crunch!



We're excited to announce that we'll reveal a development roadmap across all iterations of the ARK Franchise next month.


With 65,870 votes, this Community Vote has been a popular one! Ideas from the past and new entries battled it out in RankedVote to determine the next creature. One of the entries returns to claim a victory and reminds us that bugs are mite-y cool creatures 😎.

Rhyniognatha is an extinct genus of arthropod of disputed placement and is considered by many as the oldest insect known. It lived 35 million years before the first amphibians.

We are excited to get this to the creature design team and start working on Rhyniognatha! Look for Rhyniognatha to make a grand appearance in ARK: Survival Evolved later this year!

We're expecting The Survival of the Fittest console to launch next week between Wednesday and Friday! Stay tuned for more information!

Welcome to another edition of the Community Crunch!

Since the announcement of ARK 2, we've watched the community's excitement and anticipation rise as we continued to work diligently in the background to define the new survival experience. Despite anticipating our next showing of ARK 2 to be a gameplay showcase, we see the hunger and eagerness for more ARK 2 information, and we get it. We’ve decided to give you a peek behind the curtain and begin showcasing more ARK 2 tidbits regularly as we lead up to the first gameplay trailer. We hope you enjoy these appetizers, and we can’t wait for you to get your hands on the main course 😉!

As always, we love seeing the passion of the ARK community on display, and we look forward to getting more information in your hands beginning this week!

Welcome to another edition of the Community Crunch!



We're excited to announce that we're rerunning a popular community contest, where players can submit their own dinosaur ideas to be added to ARK.

We've seen some incredible fan-made designs and creature submissions in pasts contests so we can't wait to see what you come up with this time. Whether you're a seasoned player or new to the community, we encourage you to dust off those notebooks and let your creativity run wild. Feel free to create a dossier, design a creature, and tell us how you see it fitting into the current ARK meta.

While we may not adopt all of the gameplay ideas, we will be looking at and considering everything submitted. Use Wikipedia links and references to help with your pitch, show us what abilities this creature might have, and what it may look like.

Check out the Creature Submission Guidelines for more information on the submission process and hop over to the Creature Submission Forum to see the current entries. The entry period will end at 1PM Pacific on January 23rd, so don't wait - get your ideas in. We are looking forward to seeing your ideas come to life!
