While the core goal of SotF remains the same, we’ve gone back to the drawing board to streamline the gameplay mechanics and provide a fast-paced, engaging, and compelling experience.  The Survival of the Fittest will make its PC (Steam) debut on December 23rd, with news on the cross-play console releases early in the upcoming year. As always, we’re looking forward to seeing your community-created content, collecting your feedback, and participating in the action as well!  With fast-paced gameplay and intense combat focused on large-scale creature battles, The Survival of the Fittest is the

On November 5th, we went live on Twitch from our Seattle Office for 24 hours to support ExtraLife, a program of Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. With your help, we were able to raise over $130K in support of kids' health! We were able to shatter our individual and team donation goals, setting up this year's event to be another unforgettable one! Throughout the Game Day event, we maintained the #2 team in total donations and in the top 5 for individual donations! The ARK community has helped us raise well over 500K for children in need with the completion of our 8th ExtraLife event! These achievements wouldn't be possible without the support of the ARK community and sponsors! We are grateful for our generous, supportive players, partners & sponsors, & the opportunity to help facilitate this endeavor. Here's a recap of everything you may have missed during the 24-hour event! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/8729288/37b2bceb40aeeac35e79af14eb707c57f32c8c03.png 2X NVIDIA RTX 3090 5X Game Vice Flex by GameVice 100+ Noglin Hat 100+ Noglin Plush 100+ Dodo Plush 5X ARK Collector's Edition boxes Corsair HS55 Wireless Headset HS80 Wireless Headset Void RGB Elite Headset K70 Pro TKL Keyboard K70 Mini Wireless

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.
