Ark: Survival Evolved's Volcano Is About To Heat Up

Soon, the long-dormant volcano in Ark: Survival Evolved will start rumbling alive, so you better relocate your base if you happened to be daring enough to set up home nearby. The magma-fueled v257 update has an ETA of May 3rd, according to Ark's community manager on the official forums.

In the next PC update, the volcano will be receiving an active remodelling which will consume anything in the vicinity. A client-side patch pushed out earlier today now includes these borders in your game so you can see the affected area. You are HIGHLY recommended to move out of the area before the v257 patch goes live.

That's only five days to pick up your stuff and get out.

We learned a lesson here today. If you really want to motivate gentrification just turn on your local volcano.
