Although traditional events, like Love Evolved, ended last year we still plan to do themed EVO events that are timed around the same time we would do the traditional ARK events. In this case, we’re kicking off a Valentine’s EVO Event in place of Love Evolved. The skins and cosmetics from past events are available in the HLNA Shop.

Survivors on Nintendo Switch will experience a traditional Love Evolved experience from Feb 9th – 16th!
