ARK: Survival Evolved Raises Over $184K For Extra Life, Free DLC Coming In December
The ARK: Survival Evolved community came together over the weekend to raise money for children’s hospitals in the US and Canada as part of Studio Wildcard’s annual Extra Life charity stream. The studio managed to raise a total of $184,502 during the 24-hour event, surpassing last year’s $112,000 and setting a new record for the studio. They also took the top spot for the team with the most funds raised.
“This seventh year of participating in GameDay with ExtraLife puts us well over $400K raised and we couldn't have done it without the ARK community! We are grateful for our generous, supportive players, partners & sponsors, & the opportunity to help facilitate this endeavor.”
As part of the stream, Studio Wildcard offered a preview of the upcoming Lost Island DLC which will feature a new non-canonical expansion map and new creatures unique to the island, the Amargasaurus, Sinomacrops, and Dinopithecus. The free DLC map will be coming out on all platforms on December 14th. The team also teased a new Nordic-inspired community-made map coming sometime in June 2022.
