Survival of the Fittest is making a triumphant return!  

Initially launched in 2016 as an intro into the competitive gaming space, Survival of the Fittest pits combatants in an action-packed struggle for survival where players assemble their Dino armies towards an epic final showdown in which one tribe makes it out alive.  SotF, even in its infancy stage, received tremendous support from the community with several valiant attempts by the modding community to revive the game mode.  We are excited to reintroduce The Survival of the Fittest - a Multiplayer Online Survival Arena in the ARK universe!

While the core goal of SotF remains the same, we’ve gone back to the drawing board to streamline the gameplay mechanics and provide a fast-paced, engaging, and compelling experience.  The Survival of the Fittest will make its PC (Steam) debut on December 23rd, with news on the cross-play console releases early in the upcoming year.

As always, we’re looking forward to seeing your community-created content, collecting your feedback, and participating in the action as well!  With fast-paced gameplay and intense combat focused on large-scale creature battles, The Survival of the Fittest is the ultimate test of skill and strategy! We’ll see you out there on its primal battlefield!

The ARK: Expanded Story Content free update is available on PC, XBOX, and Playstation now!

The ARK: Expanded Story Content Update introduces brand new narrative story content - featuring actors Madeleine Madden (The Wheel of Time) and David Tennant (Doctor Who) reprising their respective roles as Helena Walker, a paleontologist from Australia, and Sir Edmund Rockwell as a 19th-century London chemist. 

The actors voiced all of Helena’s and Rockwell’s Dossiers and Explorer Notes, including the epic confrontation versus Rockwell on ARK Aberration.  The highly requested Scorched Earth ascension also makes its debut!

The new cutscenes are amazing, and the voice overs are exceptionally well done.

The only problem is that I can't hear the explorer notes. They're too quiet, and their volume is based on the SFX slider so all the other noises drown them out.

And the new dossiers don't actually unlock when they open. Please fix this so we can get 100% complete.

We need to be able to craft the chibis. The drop rates for the higher tiers is far too low given the sheer number of commons there are now.

Also, the same goes for the number of drops itself on the larger maps. I play single player Genesis 2 with no Tek unlocked.. I have no chance of getting to the gift drops most of the nights because he's either at the other end of the dome, in space or in the other dome. Would be nice if he was "locked" to a set max radius to your character when in single player. Like, not riddiculously close to you, but not unreasonably far away. Same goes for normal drops on SP Gen 2.... Those mechanics are absolutely not coded nor tweaked for maps larger than The Island.

Can we please have, as a last parting gift, transferable dino tributes, and griffin mating?!?

And how about if uv conquered a boss on a map you can transfer element in and out? Let us all spread out across maps more, not just hunker down on the ones where it's easier to get element.

Dunno if any of this is a good idea or not mind, could regret suggesting this if it makes things too easy.
