    We’re thrilled to share that the community has raised $59,000 for Extra Life! Thank you to everyone who has contributed. It has been inspiring to see the community come together for a cause with the energy and dedication only ARK players bring. Your generosity has helped us reach our first donation milestone and will reward the community with a brand-new Dino TLC pass. We're less than $1,000 away from unlocking the second creature TLC, while supporting the incredible work of the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. Together, we’re making a difference for kids and shaping the future of ARK!

    While we won’t be able to host our usual 24-hour Extra Life livestream this year, we’re still going all-in on what matters most: uniting as a community to raise money for the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals and unlocking something special for the future of ARK: Survival Ascended.

    For every $30,000 raised through the Studio Wildcard Extra Life charity campaign, the community will unlock a Dino TLC pass to be released throughout 2026, breathing new life into a classic creature of the ARK with updated gameplay and style. Up to four TLCs can be unlocked at the $120,000 milestone!

    When donating to anyone on the Studio Wildcard Extra Life Team, not just Studio Wildcard directly, include a message with your chosen creature’s full first name preceded by a hashtag, like this (we’ll do our best to identify typos, but try to spell them correctly!):

    • #Giganotosaurus
    • Hello #Giganotosaurus
    • Please give #Giganotosaurus a TLC!

    If no hashtag vote is included in the donation message, the donation will still count towards the TLC total, but it won’t advance any particular dino’s voting tally.

    • A $50 donation with #Giganotosaurus = 50 votes for Giganotosaurus
    • Five $10 donations with #Giganotosaurus = 50 votes for Giganotosaurus (10 x 5)

    All donations go directly to UF Health Shands Children’s Hospital, a nationally recognized cornerstone of the UF Health Shands campus. The hospital provides expert care across more than 20 pediatric specialties and is home to the community’s first emergency department dedicated solely to children, the UF Health Shands Pediatric ER.

    Serving children and families throughout Florida and beyond, UF Health Shands Children’s Hospital is a leading destination for pediatric patients from across the United States and around the world who need specialized care for complex medical conditions.

    UF Health Shands recently celebrated the ribbon-cutting of Unit 44, a fully renovated pediatric medicine and surgical floor designed with children and families in mind. The unit features all-new private rooms with tech-enabled amenities for families, dedicated gathering spaces for siblings, and brand-new toddler and teen playrooms equipped with four large TVs, allowing patients to use each screen independently or sync them together to play their favorite games on what might be the biggest screen they’ve ever seen, perfect for jumping into ARK and other games. Interactive healing walls and an upgraded procedure room further enhance the patient experience. The $30 million+ transformation was funded through a combination of hospital budget, state appropriations, and private philanthropy, including over $4 million from Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals supporters (that's you guys!).

    Inactive Server Sunsetting.png

    Hey Survivors, after careful assessment, we've opted to begin the process of sunsetting a selection of our inactive official servers. Our goal is to ensure that we're always delivering the best experience possible, and official servers exist as a way for the community to play together without having to host their own. When we launch fresh content, typically, we put up more servers than we need in the long term to match the peak in user capacity; over time, these servers become ghost towns as players have dropped off and are waiting for the next major content release.

    At the conclusion of the Bonus Rate Event on Monday, October 20th (around 1 PM Pacific), we’ll be opening transfers out of Isolated servers to the main network for items, characters, and creatures, as well as character transfers into Isolated for those who wish to move.

    As part of this process, the servers will be renamed with the “SUNSET” prefix, following the same approach we’ve used in the past. Please note that once renamed, these servers will be removed from the in-game Favorites list, so you’ll need to search for them manually to reconnect.

     

    After further evaluation, the following servers have been removed from the sunset list:

    We still intend to provide capacity at launches as much as possible to meet the higher need during those periods.

    We’re working with our partner at Nitrado to offer these saves after the scheduled sunset through Nitrado’s interface. Please stay tuned for more details.

    Expire Servers.jpg

    Expire servers are temporary servers across the network that will eventually be removed, and you can find them by searching for "Expire" in the session filter.

    These servers will be online until 10 am PST / 1 pm EST on December 8th. We're preemptively using our allocation for future maps to host some additional sessions that players can travel onto to farm, tame, and experience the newest content Gameplay. The same transfer restrictions apply in that you are only able to download your character, but you can freely take anything off. This is to help reduce load off some of the other servers, or provide players an option for those who just want to jump onto a new map temporarily.

    Please note that these servers will no longer exist after 10 am PST / 1 pm EST on December 8th, so if you intend to use them, remember to transfer your items/creatures/characters off before that date, as nothing will be saved beyond that time period.

    We REALLY need to unlock that second TLC. The Giga was nearly entirely replaced by the Carcharodontosaurus when it was released. Also, I'm honestly surprised that the Giga only has 2 moves: Bite and Roar. Give it a Stomp move already!

    Oh no.... it seems like irrritaror will win, another carnivore theropod

    Even worse, it's simply a reskin of the Spino/Baryonyx... and we already have BOTH of them on Genesis 1.

    Can you bring back ice wyverns to the game, they've all been replaced with fire or zombie wyverns.

    I was really hoping that with how genesis part 1 was split up we could get multiple creatures, one for each biome :( . Kinda sad about the just one but, at least with this line up we can get some more variety of dinos.

    Not surprised given it's competition. Nothing remarkable to speak of.

    That managarmr plushie is so darn cute!!

    Wildcard, you should sell creature plushies!! Like a 'collect-them-all' kind of thing! Make all the creatures from the game into plushies and sell 'em. 

    Probably won't happen but we can dream... 🥲

    Yeah, honestly, why on Earth are people voting for more theropods anyway?

    Seriously though why is another insect so high in the votes. I want to see dinosaurs and cool prehistoric beasts... not a bug

    Well, That, and most of the votes are aquatic tames... Why vote for a tame that not only appears on one map, but is only useful for one part of it? It would be a different story if this were for The Island or Gen part 2 (where aquatic tames have a much bigger role) but this is Gen Part 1... With the exception of your own base, you aren't going to stay in any one biome for long, least of all one that's mostly water.

     

    Irritator is likely going to win simply because, it can be viable on land. All the water tames 
    HAVE to be podded if they are to be used anywhere else (or uploaded via Transmitter), and the Stick bug is about as funny of an idea as getting shot in the head... in real life...

     

    Irritator also has WAY more name recognition than the other suggested votes, despite it more than likely functioning no different than any other theropod, just like Megaraptor.

    The second TLC is unlocked now, but doesn't guarantee the Giga will get it though.

    No-one can see the progress of the votes so there's no way it can seem like a certain creature will win.

    Yeah, I did say that I would vote for something that benefits all biomes (voted for the octopus btw), guess it kinda makes sense.

    But still though, still surprised that people would vote for a theropod of all things just as it is irritating as it sounds.

    (pun intended)

    What's wrong with irritator tho? it may be a theropod but it's a ultility dino that helps with taming other stuff

    Well the voting process is easy to understand, you can clearly see there's no coverage of what order the creatures are standing in the votes. You just place the creatures in order of most wanted to least wanted and submit.

    Only the TLC votes are showing the order so far.

    Dude are u like 8 or something? can't u read? It's literally nothing like other theropods. it's not even a combat creature. it's main functions are improving the effectiveness of torpor-dealing attacks, harvesting taming food that's normally annoying to get such as living fish and producing a consumable that removes negative debuffs from dinos

    why hate on a creature based on the amount of legs it has???

    it helps with taming, has a 360 degree saddle and looks neat

    Only allowed to use 1 breeding cake per dino, feel we have been let down there.  On the 10 year birthday we could use every 10 mins bring that back for us that actually play fair and have a life.  

    Plus the servers are so laggy just now, reduce the number of TMNT mousers as most players are not interested in buying this mod.
