While the base game of ARK Survival Ascended (ASA) offers ample content, developers continually strive to expand it through DLCs and annual themed events like the Eggcellent Adventures event, or as it has been rebranded, the Easter EVO event. This Easter-themed event was beloved by many Ark Survival Evolved players, and with ASA being the primary title now, players are eager to know if it will be featured in 2024.
You won't have to wonder any longer, as this guide will comprehensively outline everything we currently know about ARK Survival Ascended's Eggcellent Adventures or Easter EVO 2024 event.

NOTE - As of the latest Community Crunch blog post on 22 March 2024, there has been no additional information about the upcoming Easter event for ARK Survival Ascended.
