We were deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Holger "Hulk" Geissler, a remarkable modder whose creations under the HG Mods banner left an indelible mark on the community. Hulk's mods reached far and wide, touching the hearts of players and transforming their gameplay experiences.
We would like to extend our most sincere condolences to his loved ones.

As we bid farewell, we celebrate his ascension as a true survivor, forever inspiring us to reach new heights.

Best Ark dinos to tame

There are loads of Ark dinos to tame, and knowing exactly which ones to prioritize isn't easy. While you won't be recreating your dinosaur theme park - we all know how that went the first time around - deciding between a T-Rex or a Carnotaurus, a Quetzal or a Doedicurus, or even non-dinosaur creatures like the Mammoth or Beelzebufo can be difficult.

That's where we come in. This list of the ten best Ark dinos to tame will help guide your efforts with tips for taming and capturing each one. We've considered multiple aspects of each dino when putting together this list, including their utility, base stats, and how easy they are to tame generally, so this is especially useful for any beginners. Fancy making the game easier for yourself? Check out our guide on Ark admin commands, which are essentially cheats. Alternatively, if you fancy dinosaurs elsewhere, our list of the best dinosaur games has what you need.

Community Crunch 361: ASA Comparison, EVO Event, and More!

We're sure every survivor has seen these items a few times during their ARK experience, but definitely not like this 👀. Keep your eyes peeled for future Community Crunches because we'll continue to share new assets from ARK: Survival Ascended.

Where is the gameplay?
We'll be showcasing gameplay shortly before release.

Is this all you've done?
No, we've done much more, but we're just showing you a glimpse behind the curtain. You'll see more in the weeks ahead and when we launch!

If you know of an exploit on Official Servers, be sure to check out our Bounty Thread. We provide bounties for anyone who can report hacks or exploits of any kind (which are NOT aimbots/esp/speed hacks) that can have a serious impact on gameplay or server stability on our official, online servers. We've rewarded players with over 50k!

Community Crunch 360: Community Creature Vote Reveal, ASA Comparison, and More!

This week we're taking a look at foliage that's been remastered in ARK: Survival Ascended and captured in Unreal Engine 5. Things are really sprucing up, aren't they? Keep an eye out on future Community Crunches because every other week we'll be revealing new assets so you get an artistic impression of what "Remaster" means in ARK Survival Ascended.

And while you are here, why not take a look at the Community Creature vote winner and our newest Sponsored Mods!

With over 49k votes, Fasolasuchus will be the new creature added to Scorched Earth for ARK: Survival Ascended. We are looking forward to sharing its concept and dossier in the weeks to come!

TaeniaStella The RenewalAlpha is a pretty unique map that hides a lot of surprises. This map even includes several unique creatures that fit the themes of this deceptively large environment. You'll find a lot of incentive to explore and see the many sights it has to offer, but make sure you go prepared!

Check out TaeniaStella The RenewalAlpha

Nyrandil is a beautiful little map that feels a lot like a fairytale countryside. You will find a strong contrast between environments organized in both an overworld and underground Biomes.

Check out Nyrandil

There will be no EVO event this week.
