ARK: Eggcellent Adventure – Event

ARK Survivors can now experience the one-week-only “Eggcellent Adventure” Event!

During this limited-time event, players can collect special “Bunny Eggs” across the ARK, which they can paint or use in special recipes to craft bunny-themed items such as Bunny Ears, or even a Bunny Costume for the Procoptodon!

It starts at sec 29 before that you can see the new Caves  🙂

 

Though Survivors should beware the ferocious Bunny-Dodorex that will roam the ARK throughout the week!

Legal Battle: Trendy wants to shut down ARK

In a lawsuit filed against Studio Wildcard in December 2015, a company with the name “Trendy Entertainment” (known for their mobile game Dungeon Defenders) alleges that their former creative director, game designer Jeremy Stieglitz, breached his contract and has been working on Ark secretly since he resigned from his position in 2014. With this claim it’s possible, that Ark is not legally owned by Studio Wildcard.

The lawsuit will take place at April, 27 in Florida. Trendy wants to stop the development of ARK: Survival Evolved and to shutdown all servers. We’ll inform you as soon as there are more informations available.

ARK: Survival of the Fittest goes eSport! Stand alone MMO-Survival-Arena!

ARK: Survival of the Fittest is now available as a totally free, standalone, ‘Multiplayer Online Survival Arena’ built for eSport gameplay!

SotF originated as a spin-off mod which came to be with the release of our ARK: Survival Evolved development kit. The mode was first available as a ‘Total Conversion’ and debuted worldwide with a 70-person slaughter fest of a tournament. Following the success of the game mode, tournaments, and feedback from the community, SotF has been refactored into its own competitive game including four new modes, a robust ranking system, massively boosted performance, cosmetic-tiered rewards, lobbies/parties/on-dema nd-matchmaking, and constant iteration. That’s not all though! On top of releasing as a free game, SotF will also be awarding cash prizes for the top players in each ‘Survivor League’, so ARK survivors can start playing their favourite game at a professional competitive level!

Survivors can form one to six person Tribes with the options to choose Unofficial (Player-Hosted) and Official (Ranked) servers, and a variety of game-lengths and sizes in which to play. Players will start in the base forest environment introduced in the original ARK: Survival Evolved, with new environments and creatures introduced as the game evolves. Dedicated eSport rankings, matchmaking, reward, and upcoming Tournaments make ARK: SotF readily accessible to all players and after each month we’ll be awarding over $50,000 to the Top-10 Ranked Players in each of the four game modes, referred to as the Survivor League.

SotF is balanced for intense competition, contestants begin in a neutral staging area where they can communicate pre-game, strategize, or talk trash. After a countdown, they dramatically descend from the sky onto the ARK in a circular formation via beams of light. There is a cache of valuable items in the center – do survivors dash for the goods and fight it out, do they run into the forest and hide, search for Dinosaurs to rapidly build their army, or do they freeze up from the sheer terror of death? A continually shrinking “Ring of Death” forces contestants ever closer together over time. The hunt is on!
