Studio Wildcard has sprinkled a bit of festive cheer with the Ark PS4 update 2.89 patch notes, which adds support for the Winter Wonderland 7 event. Here you’ll find a bunch of new content such as chibis, creatures, emotes and more. Read the latest Ark patch notes below.
Ark Survival Evolved Winter Wonderland 7 Schedule and Event Details:
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 5th.
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 skins, costumes, weapons, armor, or 12 new Chibis!
This event can be manually activated with the server arg parameter: -ActiveEvent=WinterWonderland
