Ark: Survival Evolved Celebrates Christmas With Fifth
Publisher and developer Studio Wildcard has announced that Ark: Survival Evolved’s Winter Wonderland 5 event will kick off later this week.
Returning for a fifth time on December 17 at 10 AM PST/6 PM GMT, the Winter Wonderland event brings holiday cheer to Ark: Survival Evolved’s maps, as RaptorClaus and GachaClaus both return to bestow gifts upon players.
On servers that have the Ark: Survival Evolved Christmas event 2020 enabled, RaptorClaus takes to the skies when midnight strikes in-game, dropping loot, event items, mistletoe, and lumps of coal for any players lucky enough to grab them without being eaten by Ark’s roaming dinos.

GachaClaus also roams Ark’s maps, trading players holiday-themed items in exchange for coal. Add some mistletoe to the mix and you’ll get a chance at obtaining event items, weapons, armor, and 7 new Chibis.
An EVO event starting on the same day as Winter Wonderland 5 also brings doubled rates for creature breeding, player XP and harvesting.

Ark: Survival Evolved’s Winter Wonderland 5 event is set to conclude next year, on Tuesday, January 7, so there’s plenty of time to grab the new additions available as part of the game’s Christmas event 2020.
Recently, Studio Wildcard revealed that Ark 2 and an animated series were in development, both featuring Vin Diesel and set to expand the game’s universe.
Watching their trailers from Ark: Survival Evolved’s menu is an easy way to get an anime raptor skin inspired by the upcoming TV series alongside a hatchet and spear skin inspired by the sequel.
