Community Crunch 344: Community Creature Submissions, EVO Event, and More!

Welcome to another edition of the Community Crunch!

We’re excited to announce that we’re rerunning a popular community contest again, where players can submit their own dinosaur ideas to be added to ARK.

We’ve seen some incredible fan-made designs and creature submissions in pasts contests so we can’t wait to see what you come up with this time. Whether you’re a seasoned player or new to the community, we encourage you to dust off those notebooks and let your creativity run wild. Feel free to create a dossier, design a creature, and tell us how you see it fitting into the current ARK meta.

While we may not adopt all of the gameplay ideas, we will be looking at and considering everything submitted while using upvotes as a way to determine entries for a second round of voting. Use Wikipedia links and references to help with your pitch, show us what abilities this creature might have, and what it may look like.

Check out the Creature Submission Guidelines for more information on the submission process and hop over to the Creature Submission Forum to see the current entries. The entry period will end at 1PM Pacific on January 23rd, so don’t wait – get your ideas in. We are looking forward to seeing your ideas come to life!

Survivors on all platforms will be receiving an EVO Event! It will be active until Monday, the 16th of Jan. All Official Servers across each platform will be undergoing this evolutionary change which includes:
