A new DevKit update was released by Wildcard earlier today, which brings us up to v232. The previous DevKit version wasn’t released too long ago, so there aren’t many ground breaking features found, however there are some interesting things we would like to share with you. Explorer Chests Wildcard has stated that there will be more “lore” and information to be found on the island. Currently you can find dossiers made by “dossier-dude” and recipes made by “recipe-gal”, but in the future you’ll be able to come across other things. This was in one of the latest ARK Digests: Q: Survivor, OnePotatoChip also asks, “Ready to reveal anyRead More →

We will cover some of the hightlights in this post and provide you with all the information you need to be up to date with the latest patch. Beer brewing We’ve finally got beer in the game! Woeh. So, now it’s time to get a hangover and find out what it is like to be drunk on an island filled with prehistoric creatures that try to kill you (what could go wrong?). You can brew beer in a beer barrel, however it is currently bugged so you might not beRead More →

new_dropped_items

A while ago, we’ve posted an overview of the dropped item meshes that are available in the DevKit. When we currently drop an item in ARK: Survival Evolved, you’ll see a bag regardless of what you dropped. The devs are working hard to create meshes for each type of item, so that you will be able to see what has been dropped. When looking around in the latest DevKit version, we came across some newly created item meshes that we wanted to share with you. Some of the new meshes include Beer, cake and “fancy food” (which looks like sushi to us), an indication that moreRead More →

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!

Procoptodon From today on we will be able to ride a creature with two people at the same time! One of them can position itself in the pouch of the procoptodon and be ridden around the Island. From the pouch you will be able to shootRead More →

ark-bionic-rex-skin

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 →
