Letting your creativity flow

If you feel up to the challenge of creating a mod for Ark: Survival Evolved, they’ve released a version of their Unreal Engine 4 editor that they specifically used in creation of the game. To aid those who want to contribute, Studio Wildcard has also released a Dev Kit through Epic Games Launcher; using both tools you’ll be able to showcase your creations with fellow players online. 

The contest will feature a large prize pool of over $25,000 in cash and prizes, more specifically, a grand prize of $15,000 and an Alienware Area-51 and an Nvidia GeForceGTX 980 Ti. For such a large prize it’s expected that the mods that are produced are above par. 

Bringing Hunger Games to Ark: Survival Evolved

Developed strictly from Studio Wildcard, they’ve released a game mode called Survival of the Fittest, which includes a custom map and a dome-force that slowly shrinks the map as the match continues. Since the map will shrink while the game goes on, leveling, producing items, and taming creatures becomes a more difficult task. A new feature called Evolution Events occurs every 30 minutes that brings random events such as: crazy weather conditions, dinosaur stampedes, supply drops, day-to-night shifts, and player location reveal. Using Evolution Events, you’ll never know what to expect in Survival of the Fittest.The Ark: Survival Evolved game mode Survival of the Fittest might seem familiar because very recently a five-hour tournament took place on Twitch with over 70 live-streamers all aiming to win a $30,000 prize pool. 

If Survival of the Fittest seems like something you’d want to check out, it’s a free plug-in on steam through the Steam Workshop.
