  • ARK: Fear Evolved 2!

    large.fear-evolved2.jpg

    The Dead have returned and for the next week the ARK is undergoing a spooky seasonal change where the air is cooler, the days shorter and the nights longer, and a Blood-Moon shines brightly as zombies, living skelesaurus, and terrifying creatures of the night appear above ground.

    Running from Friday October 28 through Sunday November 6 on Steam, Fear Evolved 2 will have ARK survivors witness the ARK transform into a dark, eerie landscape teeming with ghoulish graves, overgrown pumpkin patches, and Halloween festivities. Prepare for the ultimate Dino-Ween event, Fear Evolved 2!

    Survivors should take care when exploring the ARKs as the mythical DodoRex stomps across the land with an army of blood-thirsty zombie dodos in tow and is joined by its flying friends, the daunting DodoWyvern, its zealous ZombieWyvern horde, and a variety of re-animated Skelesaurs roam the world.

    For those brave enough to face their fears, there will be a number of new items to collect including the mythical DodoWyvern Mask, the haunting Vampiric eyes, the terrifying Clown mask, the beastly Werewolf mask, and of course don’t forget to be on the lookout for more spooky Skelesaurs in the form of; Giganotosaurus, Quetzalcoatlus, Jerboa, and Wyvern!

    Not to mention, some old festive goodies will be making a return in the form of thatch-rich scarecrows, custom Jack-o-Lantern carvings, Skelesaur Costumes, Candy-Corn loot drops, Witch Hats, Masks! You’ll also be granted the opportunity to tame endlessly-rejuvenating Zomdodos and ZombieWyverns!

    We’re also running a little Fear: Evolved contest! The first two survivors to post a video of them killing both the DodoRex and the DodoWyvern on Official PvP Servers will win a 100$ Steam Wallet Gift code! (they can be working with other Players/Tribe of course, but we'll only have one code to send to the player who actually posts the video). You can send us a tweet with the link to your video on @survivetheark. (Note: The Center servers are not eligible for this, as the DodoRex does not spawn naturally on The Center.)

    In regards to Xbox Patch 744 and some of the missing Halloween content, unfortunately we weren’t able to deliver on what we had intended to do for this holiday release. Both Jeremy and Jesse (the founders and captains of our team) had to unexpectedly take care of some work out of the country which affected the development and simultaneous release on both platforms, as well as the content we were hoping to provide. Fear Evolved 2 will not be making its debut on the Xbox Console, and on PC the special attributes/effects related to Werewolves and Vampires will not be a part of this holiday event. We are hoping to be able to release these special effects in a future event, as we understand a lot of players were looking forward to experiencing it. 

    However we did manage to make sure that all PC Content through Version 248 would make it through the update, including Explorer Notes, Mounted Weaponry on Dinos, three new creatures; Kaprosuchus, Chalicotherium and the Diplocaulus, as well as crash fixes and some performance optimisation to memory and rendering.

    We always try to include everything that mention in the patch notes and sometimes things occur outside of our control, in this case it was losing two star players - going forward we’ll be working hard to ensure that our Christmas Holiday patch will have a simultaneous release across all platforms, and include the content we intend for it - there’s a lot to look forward to and we’ll do our best to make it up to you guys!

    We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience and disappointment caused by the lack of the Halloween event for our Xbox players, as well as the missing content on PC. We understand the frustrations but we do hope that you enjoy the rest of the Xbox v744 content and on PC the Fear Evolved Patch.

    Evolution Event Weekend!

    Plus, with the release of the two patches, we’ll be running another Evolution Event across both PC and Xbox;

    Through the weekend the Official ARK Network will be affected by an Evolution Event! Survivors playing this weekend will get to experience the following bonuses:

    2x Harvesting Rate
    2x Taming Rate
    2x EXP Rate

    So be sure to log in and enjoy the increased rates whilst you can! The change will take place on Friday the 28th of October at 12pm ET and will return back to normal on the Monday the 31st of October at 12pm ET.

    Steam Sale!

    For this spooky festive period, players are in for an additional treat, begining Friday the 28th of October at 1PM ET until Tuesday November the 1st at 1PM ET, ARK: Survival Evolved will be discounted on Steam by 50% and Scorched Earth will also receive a 33% discount!

    Wishing all you Survivors a Happy Halloween!

    How about making the Scorched Earth DLC discounted on Xbox to make up for this major let down with no Fear Evolved event for us on console? @Jat

    Considering you send the patches to Microsoft multiple days in advance you guys had to have known the Halloween event wasn't coming to Xbox. Who cares about the Evolution Event... I was looking forward to this event for weeks - something different for a change.... Looks like I'll be spending my time playing Battlefield One now instead..

    Can't say I didn't expect it.

    Maybe next year? I guess we'll find out the day of.

    Hurry up and announce an Xbox winter event so you can hype it up for a while and then pull it the day of the update.

    Grow up and accept that life happens!
    They're human, yet they keep doing inhuman things like keeping up this insane development schedule for more than 1½ years in a row soon.

    It'd be really easy for someone who actually gets the content they've been waiting for to say something like that. And if they can't handle this "insane" dev schedule, then maybe they should change the way they do things so they can actually follow through on their promises! Like how long ago was this game supposed to come out on PS4?

    To make up for this disappointment I would like to see this content get added in for a later date. For example you could add it in for a week or two in November. I am sure that people would rather get the content a couple weeks after Halloween rather than wait for an entire year...

    You guys are literally begging your Xbox players to quit

    I have been checking this site for updates on what the event will hold and was excited today to see the trailer for the event...it looked so awesome...got me excited to play later. Then I read on and find out I won't get to play it...I might quit. with the last patch for pc where it was supposed to come out on the 10th but got moved up to the 21st or 22nd, they still released it. why can't they just release it later for us?  I say we get a petition started. i don't care when we get it, as long as it isn't next year. get a team to work exclusively on getting it ready for xbox and release it with another patch

    WildCard, is the intent to release the Fear Evolved Event for Xbox players are a later date, once the devs are able to catch up after returning? I can't imagine you're going to scrap all the work that went in to the Xbox version just because it's late. Please advise

    Every weekend this month has been 2x so giving that to us instead isn't a bonus.  Talking about a major event for weeks then hours before it suppose to release you say it's been cancelled b/c some people had to leave the country is poor planning.  I understand this game is pre alpha but don't give us a lame reason.  I feel like WC things the people that play their game are dumb.  If you are honest with us then everyone would be a lot happier.

    This more than suck as an Xbox player I know we were all looking forward to an event. I agree that you should have said something earlier instead of have all of the Xbox players thinking we were getting the event. We diffenitly should get it late or at least put an option in for us to create our own Halloween server so we don't have to wait a full year, that's just ridiculous!

    Why is the contest always PVP if i may ask??

    because PVE is easy to kill boss by default. PVP you have to focus on all aspects, not only breeding for best dinos for boss

    What about taming snakes?

    I was wondering this myself. I was told not to get my hopes up because they said the same thing last year. Maybe they just didnt mention it. Need to test I guess.

    I feel sorry for Xbox players :( unfortunate you guys aren't getting the content as it looks really fun and my tribe is super excited. Hopefully they can do something to make up for it, include it late, give it to you in other ways, something.

    Thanks mate, it wouldn't be so dissapointing if they just told us we weren't getting it. But on the day of to learn otherwise is simply disheartening, no matter how much understanding I have..

    This is really disgusting what you have done to Xbox players. And don't tell me you haven't known days ago that you're not going to make it. You're talking about making it up during Christmas Event? Are you kidding me? You never delivered a patch which had all promised features. And you still want to release this game in December? With current management good luck with that, you need it.

    I pretty much lost any desire to play your game. I have my limits of being let down by someone.

    I'm very disappointed guys.  I'm a 40 year old dude and have my own business, so I get that stuff occasionally happens that makes it near impossible to make deadlines.  But when it happens on every single release, that's not good.  I haven't complained about anything at all, not once, because I get the difficulties you guys are dealing with.  In fact, the more I learned about your company and its origins, the more I've cheered you guys.  But this continued trend greatly worries me for you all.  I purchased ARK in the first week it was released on XBox, and have thoroughly enjoyed it.  And still do.  But stuff like this (never making a single deadline, dropping parts of promised content, completely excluding a huge market share at the last minute) is going to bite you guys.  And it's getting old.  Get your stuff straightened out, and you'll destroy the rest of the competition with this novel and groundbreaking game.  Keep this up, and you'll be a footnote with an asterisk saying something about minecraft for grown-ups.

    i'm on a PVP server, and tribes that have been at war for weeks have made peace agreements for this event. People who have been fighting over freakin Dodos getting killed have called off battles to help each other get ready for this event. Parties planned, gear given/traded freely... only to be told DAY OF RELEASE that we are not going to be included.  I cannot begin to describe my level of disappointment in the devs. 

    I would expect more from a company who has made so much off of players through an unfinished game. DON'T MAKE PROMISES YOU DON'T INTEND TO KEEP!
