Community Crunch 526: Madness Takes Flight

A massive silhouette just crested the horizon, Survivors, and this one is difficult to mistake.


Meet Xeranox, the latest dragon preparing to spread its wings in ARK: Dragontopia!

With four magnificent wings casting a terrifying cross over the battlefield, Xeranox knows exactly how to make a memorable entrance. And those wings aren't just for show. Early observations suggest this dragon possesses remarkable agility, and those unfortunate enough to find themselves in its sights may discover just how quickly it can close the gap and find its mark.

There's still plenty to uncover about this peculiar dragon, but early observations suggest it has a rather interesting way of dealing with unwanted attention. Some creatures prefer to avoid a confrontation. This one might just welcome it, actively daring you to strike first.

Don't let it goad you, because every scratch may fuel the plummet.


Take a first look at Xeranox, coming to ARK: Dragontopia!

Conquest, introduced to ARK: Survival Ascended by Snail Games, focuses on large-scale PvP, with increased rates, and other changes listed below. The increased rates will allow tribes to set up and establish themselves quickly and enable them to rebuild after potential losses instead of being wiped completely.

The official Conquest servers are open for PC, Xbox and PlayStation.

If you need any support during the Conquest season, join the Conquest Enforcement's Discord.




This weekend, the Official Network will be receiving bonus rates! It will be active until Monday, October 5.
