Ark: Survival Evolved is preparing for this year’s Valentine’s Day event which now bears the much snappier name of Love Evolved.
If you’ve always thought Cupid was missing the point by not riding a dinosaur, it might be worth checking the event out. Here are the start and end dates of Ark: Survival Evolved’s Love Evolved event alongside everything it adds to the survival sim.

Ark: Survival Evolved’s Love Evolved event is set to start today, February 11 at 6 PM GMT/10 AM PT, its end date being scheduled for next week, on February 18 at 6 PM GMT/10 AM PT.
