In case you didn’t know, Studio Wildcard released a new Ark Survival Evolved update today that included free DLC! While that might be the biggest news for the game today, the studio has also launched the Ark Survival Evolved Winter Wonderland 2021 event too! Check out the schedule, skins and more details below.
Ark Survival Evolved Winter Wonderland 2021 Schedule, Skins and More:
Begins: December 14, 2021 – Ends: January 6, 2022
Deck the halls with boughs of holly! Winter Wonderland will be making a triumphant return with new presents and goodies for ARK survivors. The epic winter-themed holiday event begins on December 14th and will last until Thursday, January 6th. All maps will receive Winter Wonderland and all its content.
RaptorClaus will be sailing across the star-filled night sky in his sleigh, dropping off presents filled with high-end loot as well as Mistletoe, and Coal for those naughty Survivors. You’ll be able to catch RaptorClaus flying across the skies at midnight (game time) on all maps.
GachaClaus is also making a triumphant return to help RaptorClaus spread the holiday cheer! GachaClaus will be roaming all maps looking for eager recipients while sporting holiday-themed colors. He will be accepting your coal and in exchange will gift you holiday-themed items, or you can trade-in your mistletoe and coal for a chance at an animated TV Show Parasaur skin, a full-body Santa costume, new skins, weapons, armor, or 5 new Chibis!
This event can be manually activated with the server arg parameter: -ActiveEvent=WinterWonderland
