The Holidays Are for Giving – Christmas Has Come to ARK: Survival Evolved
Around the holidays, the team behind the popular Player versus Player and Player versus Environment title ARK, are usually in the festive mood, more so than other games that are available on the market. This year has been no different. Thanks to some fantastic timed events, you can enjoy all the greatness of holiday surprises, even if you are playing on an existing ARK save file!
Free stuff is great – anytime a game updates and gives you something for free – even a minor cosmetic overlay – you still feel like you are getting some value, and that’s fantastic. Those who play a lot of online games no exactly what I’m talking about, as they often can score Jackpotjoy offers by simply signing up with a new service. Video game companies love to spread the wealth as well, and the team behind ARK has done that in 2020.
From Santa hats to colours, the entire world of ARK has received an overhaul and it’s pretty fascinating to look at. From santa hats to coloured dinosaurs, there is lots to on cover while the holiday event is happening within the game.
Now is a great time to jump into the fantastic world of ARK. Available on Xbox Game Pass, players can play through the main game and all the DLC, either offline or online with friends. With the news from the Game Awards that ARK 2 was coming in just a few years, now is a great time ot play the original. We have played on Xbox Series X, and the game looks phenomenal.
While up close the assets leave a bit to be desired, the incredible draw distance and detail on the environment is something to marvel at for sure. And Dinosaurs, whether far off on the horizon or up close and personal, look great all the time. As the shinning star in this adventure, I guess that is important!
There is also a fantastic animated TV show coming, starring a lot of popular Hollywood actors, including Russell Crow, Elliot Paige, and Vin Diesel. With such a star studded lineup, it’s hard to imagine the show not being a wildly huge success. Either way, 2020 is coming up all ARK, from these recent game updates to the fantastic announcements at the Video Game awards. It’s amazing.
Check out your other favorite video games as well. Who knows how many of them are offering up some freebies for the holidays as well!
