  • Community Crunch 345: A Day in the Life!

    ARK1_GameSeries_Teaser_Promo_1920.jpg

    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!

    Thanks for the evo event! Is necessary when you need to hatch and kill over 25K level 500 baby giganotos to reach max level on official servers.

    Why the heck not? In a terrifying world filled with apex predators, our herbivores need some protection as well, right?

    I can only applaud that you are finally telling us more about a game that is (supposedly ?) releasing this year. Even if for now it's concept art and not gameplay, it feels like a reason to be hyped. Concept art is fun. Behind the scenes in general is fun (and can easily be mentioned without showing too much of the more sensitive stuff). Glad that we're finally seeing this. Silence was really a bad strategy. Some answers to accumulating questions would be nice, too, but maybe that's for next week !

    They were, in fact, in Ark The First... in the ARKaeology ark event ! I wonder if the two other unique creatures of that event are also going to be in ARK2...

    ¿Por qué diablos no? En un mundo aterrador lleno de depredadores ápice, nuestros herbívoros también necesitan algo de protección, ¿verdad?

    I agree

    This gives me a sliver of hope that the game might actually come out this year. Looking forward to what is to come in the following weeks!

    You can do it with much much less. 2x note and 4x note stack with EVO. Next you should not be using R-gigas. They are obsolete. Newer dinos give much more xp at lower tame lvls. Players should be doing the killing, use a flamethrower, not dinos.

    Hello, I am a big fan of ARK and I often play on the mobile platform and I would like to make some suggestions including:
    - Adding dinosaurs like Yutyranus and Thylacoleo.
    - Be able to bring our dinosaurs back to the dungeon 
    - To be able to train more dinosaurs 

    Thank you in advance for considering my request please.
