Today, Drake released some pictures of the upcoming Dung Beetle and Dimetrodon. We already showed you some pictures of them in our devkit preview, but now you can also see how they will look in the game. They will be released in the upcoming v232 patch. The Dung Beetles are around the size of a large dinosaur feces and can have the most beautiful colors (check out the rainbow ones). The Dimetrodon looks just like the devkit previews, which you can check out here if you want to see more. We will keep you updated if more pictures are released. The Dung Beetle is a wondrousRead More →

Today a new version of the devkit was released, v231.2, which brings us back up to speed with the PC patches. We’ve dug around a little and we came across a lot of newly added (unreleased) creatures! So which ones can you expect? What did you think about the Giant Beaver, Dung Beetle, Dunkleosteus, Ichthyornis, Lystrosaurus (even colored) and Terrorbird? Also the Dimetrodon and Therizinosaurus, that were already available in an earlier devkit release, have been updated with some colors. Without any further talking, you can check out all the images below! Enjoy. Please do keep in mind that the sizes can (and in some cases definitely are)Read More →

Dossier Wild: Approximately one meter long, the Archaeopteryx magnamilvum is a primarily tree-dwelling proto-bird. It avoids the ground as much as possible, preferring to stay in the safety of the trees, where few predators can reach it. Domesticated: While not large enough to bear the full weight of an adult human, Archaeopteryx still has great utility. Despite the creature’s inability to fly, its wings have sufficient strength to dramatically slow the rate of a person’s descent, if that person holds Archaeopteryx while airborne. Taming Archaeopteryx can be somewhat troublesome, though, as it refuses to eat the most common food sources, and glides to prospective safety at the first sign of any interloper. KnownRead More →

Many of you have heard about the awesome-looking bionic rex skin that is only available for Xbox one players of ARK: Survival Evolved. The skin is not given upon buying the game, like the Parasaur founding father skin on PC. Instead, you need to earn the skin by playing the game. Currently the exact way in which you can earn it is unknown (Update: Not anymore, scroll down to the “How to get the skin yourself” section to see how you can obtain it!) , and therefore Wildcard had created a contest. The contest was about the first person to get the skin on an officialRead More →

The upcoming patch (v229), that is currently scheduled for December 30th, will introduce a nice little friend for us: the Procoptodon. Since the ARK developers are currently working on the patch, and they like to tease us a little, Drake has released a preview of what the Procoptodon will look like: As you can see, there is a possibility for two people to ride the creature! This is also stated in the dossier when it was released, however we’re still glad to see that it is actually being implemented already. We can’t wait for the creature to be released tomorrow (hopefully) so we can test itRead More →
