Community Crunch 347: Black History Month, Valentines EVO Event, and More!
Welcome to another edition of the Community Crunch!
We're excited to announce that we'll reveal a development roadmap across all iterations of the ARK Franchise next month. 
With 65,870 votes, this Community Vote has been a popular one! Ideas from the past and new entries battled it out in RankedVote to determine the next creature. One of the entries returns to claim a victory and reminds us that bugs are mite-y cool creatures š.

Rhyniognatha is an extinct genus of arthropod of disputed placement and is considered by many as the oldest insect known. It lived 35 million years before the first amphibians.
We are excited to get this to the creature design team and start working on Rhyniognatha! Look for Rhyniognatha to make a grand appearance in ARK: Survival Evolved later this year!
