In the vibrant realms of ARK: Survival Ascended, the air is buzzing not just with the flapping of prehistoric wings but with the spirit of Valentine’s Day, as the ‘Love Ascended’ event takes flight. This in-game celebration, which began today, introduces Survivors to a world filled with romance and adventure, available until February 20, 2024, on Official Servers.
Holiday Cheer and Creative Mods
Enchanting New Delights
As part of the annual tradition, the ‘Love Ascended’ event brings a fresh batch of holiday items to the ARK universe. This year, Love Bugs are the new invaders, bringing with them a variety of event-exclusive items. From the Valentine’s Fishing Rod to Love Bug Hearts, and even stylish event skins like the Heart Spring Hat, Cuddle Rex Sweater, and Love-Bed, Survivors have plenty to look forward to.
Premiering Premium Mods
In a groundbreaking move for the game, the launch of the first two Premium Mods in the ARK: Survival Ascended mod store marks a significant milestone. The mods, ‘Svartalfheim’ Dwarf Realm and ‘Gaia Potions Plus’, represent the pinnacle of community-supported content, crafted by dedicated player-creators. These mods not only enhance the gameplay experience with their unique offerings but also set a precedent for quality content in the ARK modding community.
