Studio Wildcard announced that so far the Giganotosaurus is leading the vote standings to be the first Dino TLC Pass in ARK: Survival Ascended. This is part of the Extra Life 2025 celebration. The event is a way for the community to unite and raise money for the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals.
It has been reported that unlike in the previous years, the Extra Life 2025 event this year won't have the 24-hour livestream. One of the reasons is that the development is still working to finish not only Valguero Ascended but also the Lost Colony. Still, they've assured everyone that they're "going all-in" when it comes to helping the kids. For this year, a Dino TLC pass is unlocked for each $30,000 raised. A total of four TLCs are planned once the $120,000 milestone is reached.
That said, here are the currently standings:
- 1 🡅 Giganotosaurus
- 2 🡅 Megalosaurus
- 3 🡇 Araneo
- 4 🡅 Quetzalcoatlus
- 5 🡇 Thylacoleo
- 6 🡇 Brontosaurus
- 7 🡅 Plesiosaur
- 8 🡅 Megalodon
- 9 🡅 Carnotaurus
- 10 🡅 Compy#3498db
How to Vote
When donating to anyone on the Studio Wildcard Extra Life Team, not just Studio Wildcard directly, it's important to include a message with the chosen creature’s full first name preceded by a hashtag. Examples include:
- #Giganotosaurus
- Hello #Giganotosaurus
- Please give #Giganotosaurus a TLC!
If no hashtag vote is included in the donation message, the donation count towards the TLC total. However, it won’t advance any particular dino’s voting tally.
For each $1 donated, the chosen creature gets one vote. That means for example that a $50 donation with the hashtag #Giganotosaurus results in 50 votes for Giganotosaurus. The same amount of votes are also received for five $10 donations with the the hashtag #Giganotosaurus for example.
Eligibility Guidelines
To ensure that the vote is balanced and consistent, eligible creatures must meet these criteria:
- Must be a creature from The Island
- Must be tameable
- Must be rideable or a shoulder pet
- Must not have previously received a TLC pass
