Even the dinousaurs celebrate Halloween, as it turns out. Studio Wildcard is certainly about to do so with its first Halloween event for ARK: Survival Evolved. But how can the prehistoric era possibly celebrate a holiday centered around the dead when nothing has died yet? First off, that's not entirely true. There is a dead species of dinosaur out there, one called the DodoRex.

The DodoRex is a dangerous undead creature, often flanked by other dinosaur zombies, because yes, even dinosaurs have zombies. Players will have to watch out for those, as well as reanimated Skelesaurs that are roaming the world. While the world has become more dangerous, it's also become filled with new loot, like scarecrows filled with thatch, Jack-o-Lanterns, costumes, and other loot drops. However, if the idea of undead dinos intrigues you, the Zomdodos are tameable.

ARK: Fear Evolved is set to run through this Wednesday.

But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
