Community Crunch 431: Fear Ascended and Community Corner!

There's a lot going on behind the curtain at Wildcard as we gear up for one of our favorite events of the year, Fear Ascended, and a cause that's close to our hearts at the Studio, Extra Life. We've seen lots of excitement about Fear Ascended in the community so let's jump straight in and share the date! Download in full resolution The shadows are creeping closer... Fear Ascended is set to sink its claws into ARK from 10/30/2024 to 11/13/2024, unleashing a dino-sized dose of eerie delights and primal frights. As the night closes in, get ready for a spooky season that’s more bone-shaking than bone-breaking. Keep your ears to the ground, Survivors—there’s more lurking in the next Community Crunch! Download & play new custom content created by players, including new maps, creatures, items, and game modes, through a dedicated new Mod-browser directly within the game.
