Charity Drives Dino Evolution
The Extra Life charity event has already raised $59,000, unlocking community voting for Dino TLC updates—think refined behaviors and abilities for your favorite creatures. Donations directly influence which dinos get overhauls, with up to four winners if the drive hits $120,000, potentially reshaping meta strategies in base defense and resource gathering. The first TLC winner reveals on November 14, 2025, so your contributions could redefine how you tame and deploy beasts in this sci-fi survival sandbox.
What Creatures Are Up for the Genesis Part 1 Vote?
Round two of the Community Creature Vote for Genesis Part 1 ends November 7, 2025, with the winner announced that day. This vote lets players decide which new beast integrates into the DLC's narrative arcs, expanding world-building and adding unique taming quests that deepen immersion in Ark: Survival Ascended's open-world adventures.
How Will Server Changes Affect Your Base?
Inactive official Island servers sunset on December 8, 2025, along with temporary 'Expire' servers, pushing players to consolidate on active worlds. This maintenance ensures smoother performance but means migrating your hard-built bases—plan ahead to preserve those elaborate dino enclosures and sci-fi outposts.
These updates keep the survival meta evolving, from cosmetic creativity to community-driven content. Head to official channels for full details and join the votes to shape the ark's future.
