The highly anticipated Dreadnoughtus dossier has finally arrived, and we’re all eager to witness the epic clashes between this colossal creature and the titans of Extinction. Additionally, we’re thrilled to announce an upcoming event test drive featuring a condensed version of our traditional Turkey Trial! Lastly, don’t forget to save the date for the CurseForge ARK modding Town Hall on November 20th!

Species: Dreadnoughtus recalcitrans Time: Late Cretaceous Diet: Herbivore Temperament: Territorial
Dreadnoughtus was a newly-described fossil genus in my day, named for the idea that it was so large it must’ve had nothing to fear in its own time. The current species does its namesake proud, and may even be able to defy the Titans ruling our post-apocalyptic world.
A big believer in picking on creatures its own size, Dreadnoughtus will ignore anything smaller than a Spinosaur to focus on larger threats. It absorbs the fury of incoming attacks to charge up its uncanny, Element-disrupting bellow. Even then, this bruiser shows extraordinary patience, waiting until the last possible moment to come roaring back.
Once tamed, Dreadnoughtus will gladly shoulder your heaviest artillery and carry it — and you — into battle, on a platform big enough to earn that ‘dreadnought’ name. Your walking war-machine will swallow boulders (or cannonballs!) to spit back up as acid-coated ammo.
If you’re going to war with Titans, it just makes sense to recruit a titanic creature with a grudge against them. Your Dreadnoughtus ally may go down fighting, but not before softening up the adversary for a killing blow. Best of luck, and give ‘em Hell for me!

As the aroma of Thanksgiving feasts fills the air, we’re excited to share an update to our Event plans; Turkey Trial will be making a 2023 resurgence in abbreviated form!
Although we won’t be celebrating in true Turkey Trial fashion, we’re cooking up something planned to begin after Thanksgiving on Tuesday, November 28th.
While we weren’t planning to unleash the Murder-Turkeys on ARK: Survival Ascended this year, we’ve pivoted in order to do an event “test run”. Our intention is to use the CurseForge Mod Delivery System for this event, which we haven’t done before on a wide scale on our Official Network. The benefits of using this system allow us to make sure that Seasonal Event Mods are always accessible, even after an event has ended so players who want to run them on their servers or in single-player can do so year-round and avoid us having to update clients, but just patch the mod itself.
Turkey Trial will still feature the same thrilling scavenger hunt, genetically-modified Murder-Turkeys, and the chance to craft your very own Turkey Costume or Ugly Sweater skin – in addition to some new Turkey Trial goodies!
We’ll have more details to share in the next Community Crunch, so, stay posted for Much Ado About Stuffing (sorry)!
