ARK: Survival Evolved News

Welcome to another edition of the Community Crunch!

Turkey Trial 6 is right around the corner! Hope below for the event details and a look at some stellar ARK community content in the Community Corner!


On September 29, Google Stadia announced that the Stadia service will be shut down on January 18, 2023. As such, ARK on Stadia will no longer receive support from December onwards.

For more information on the Google Stadia announcement, click here.




From Tuesday, November 22nd through Wednesday, December 7th jump into a large-scale scavenger to hunt and carve up rare “Super-Turkeys” that have been unleashed across the ARK for Turkey Trial 6!

By harvesting Super Turkey Wishbones from these ruthless, genetically-modified creatures, you can craft their very own fashionable Turkey Costume, Ugly Sweater skins, or choose to summon the devastating DodoRex creature to do your bidding for a limited period of time.


This event can be manually activated with the server arg parameter: -ActiveEvent=TurkeyTrial

The second part of Ark: Survival Evolved's Genesis expansion is dropping soon, and with it comes the voice talents of Doctor Who himself David Tennant.

The new story content will also feature Madeleine Madden, best known for The Wheel of Time. Details are pretty slim on what this second part will actually entail, other than that there will be "new story cutscenes to introduce and conclude each Ark map." A short, slightly trippy trailer was shown off, which certainly does set up some dramatic events at the very least.

The trailer also shows off… well, some kind of giant, human-eseuqe, octopus creature, presumably as some kind of boss you can face off against, so prepare for some nightmares if you come across it.
