Mysterious Mysteries: Introducing ????
How perplexing, who can guess what this might be?
ExtraLife 2019 Recap
We at Studio Wildcard would like to give a sincere thanks to the community for participating in our latest 24 hour ExtraLife charity event. With the help of our community and ExtraLife team, we raised over $90,906.20 and beat our highest amount raised in 2018 at $76,630.27! We couldn't have done this without the help of our generous community, our amazing sponsors, and our dedicated community who signed up to join our team. We gave away over $10K in prizes with items from Discord, AMD, Alienware, season pass keys, and more!
As with prior ExtraLife events, we take this as an opportunity to share sneak peeks at upcoming content. In true tradition, we shared video and visuals from the upcoming Genesis DLC. We're excited to take you on a new adventure in Genesis and look forward to sharing more unseen content. If you missed the event on Saturday and want a sneak peek of Genesis, we've created a clip of a recap on Twitch[www.twitch.tv]. This clip includes the videos and concept art of all the Genesis content that was shared during the event.

During the stream, we also played a few ARK mods you might be interested in. For those who wanted to know more about them, we've included links to the mods and a short description below.
Poker After Ark
Poker After Ark offers the ability to play NoLimit Hold'em Poker with up to nine players at the same table. There are four different tables to play on. - PokerTable FullRing (9Max) - PokerTable Shorthanded (6Max) - PokerTable Ramshackle (4Max) - PokerTable HeadsUp (2Max) At least two players need to sit at a table to start the game.
The Hunt
Hunt In hunt mode, one person plays as a terrible monster, and other persons (hunters) try to defeat the monster and prevent it from evolving into an adult beast. Hunters have several types of weapons and traps, including flamethrowers and rifles. The monster has invisibility, a special vision that allows you to detect living beings. Do not think that you can escape from it on the height - a monster can climb anywhere. Survive. In this mode, the goal of the survivors is to run away from the monster by opening the gates that are powered by generators. Generators appear in random places on the map and their number depends on the number of survivors. Power the generators with energy cells to open the gate and escape.
ARK Arena
This mod contains 4 fun game modes which will allow you to experience the full depth of Ark PvP without the grinding
We also want to thank our moderators in the chat for helping manage the event, our sponsors, and all our Studio Wildcard survivors that were behind the scenes making the event and reveals possible! We're looking forward to ExtraLife 2020 and if you want to find out more about ExtraLife and how to get involved, visit the ExtraLife website!
