Happy Patch Day, Survivors! It's Tuesday and ARK's latest update is going live just as this announcement is being posted. In celebration of the patch today we're sharing what we have been working on: some brand new previews of our upcoming expansion pack ARK: Extinction. Check out the images below for a sneak peak at what you can expect to see on planet Earth! https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/969850374124966612/BADFA5EC0D9865A3E2326C5BDFF1F7B067137EBD/ In Extinction, Earth has become an Element-infested planet filled with fantastical creatures both organic and technological. Element has ravaged the planet and corrupted both the landscape and some of its inhabitants, causing mutations in the creatures and plants that can be found there. https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/969850374124813735/7A9DD4E5E0DFD3C1ECED021CEF647257E976148D/ We look forward to sharing more in the months ahead as we work towards our Extinction release! Our Extinction Chronicles III event is going on right now, including new Corrupted skin, Explorer Notes, and Tek dinos. You can read all about it in yesterdays Community Crunch announcement: https://steamcommunity.com/gid/103582791438250696/announcements/detail/1700558821202964860

Once collected these notes will unlock new Extinction-related skins! https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/969850263310856084/FB2949ECC4059422A6915DEF792FA03371595591/ There will also be the appearance of more powerful Tek-themed Dinosaur variants within the ARKs each month. These Tek Dinos are permanent additions (meaning they will continue to spawn even after the event is over), with a new one beginning to appear each month. In Extinction Chronicles I we released three Explorer Notes, the Corrupted Helmet and the Tek Rex. In Extinction Chronicles II we released three Explorer Notes, the Corrupted Boots and the Tek Stego. https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/969850263310886380/93C35B406A9C72C0B1D091FE238D36FC21DE33E3/ And now, tomorrow we're excited to bring you three new Explorer Notes, the Corrupted Pants and a new Tek creature, the Tek Raptor! https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/969850263310857523/A46E77050DD245552CDD6EAA714A029D2FF170F2/
