Ark: Survival Evolved Plans to Visually Update Older Creatures
With Ark: Survival Evolved out on the market for some time now and in Early Access stages for even longer, not every dinosaur, animal, and other encounterable creature has aged quite as well as others. Whether its Bigfoot, a Direwolf, or an ancient kangaroo, expect more than a few of the game’s older organisms to look a bit more contemporary thanks to the two-part “Dino TLC” update.
“The plan is for the Dino TLC pass to role out in multiple phases,” an update from the Ark: Survival Evolved team read. “Throughout the next few months, some creatures will receive visual changes, as well as functional/gameplay changes. We are targeting the release of Phase 1 to take place during the week of February the 18th on PC. In addition to Dino TLC Phase 1, we will also be rolling out our turret limit to all Official Servers.”
As for the creatures that’ll be changed, the focus of Phase 1 of the Dino TLC update will be on the Direbear, Procoptodon, Gigantopithecus (Bigfoot), Direwolf, and the Tyrannosaurus Rex. But while the animals and dinosaurs that are the focus of this new update coming around Feb. 18 will receive some serious visual improvements – all of the before-and-after images seen through the community update post – they’ll also be receiving some buffs that’ll differ depending on the creature. Direbears will be immune to bees, the kangaroo-like Procoptodon will be a better combat mount, and the Direwolf will have a better howl and pack buff.
“First of all, the howl will activate the pack buff for a duration of time (we're thinking 5 minutes right now),” the announcement continued. “This means it won't be active all the time, but to compensate, we'll be strengthing the buff to make the wolves stronger. As a little bonus is that when the Alpha Wolf howls, so will all the others! We're also planning for this mechanic play out with wild wolves too.”
Comparison images for the first phase of the update as well as the second phase are currently available to preview the changes before the update starts rolling out around Feb. 18.

I haven't touched the game in a while. But whenever I did play it, I enjoyed it. It is a great game to play with friends. Glad they are still putting time into this.

-Backwoods This game looks like a fable type of game tbh.
Its not even close to the fable series. Its completely different. Surprised you dont even know what this game is.
ImSoFarAway $60 seems like a steep price...
The game isnt some indie game so its upped to $60. Its actually a great game and worth the $60

Weird how the Tyrannosaurus Rex is outdated in graphics, its a main creature that usually you'll always see around the island but hopefully they can make some use of the engine they use. Glad to see they're giving some creatures some buffs though too.

I hope they come out with a new version of this game. I will definitely try it if they do.

I don't think I have played the game since it got out of the preview program, I'll have to give it another shot because I did not like how it was before. Very choppy and some of the graphics weren't done so well.
