What time does Ark Summer Bash 2024 start?

If taming dinosaurs inbetween moments of life or death survival isn't enough, the Ark Summer Bash 2024 is finally coming to Ark Survival Ascended. This new event is about to kickoff, and it'll feature several increased in-game rates, event items, and a whole bundle of event skins. Of course, it wouldn't be Ark Survival Ascended Summer Bash 2024 without special dino colors.

When does Ark Summer Bash 2024 begin and end?

With summer in full swing, the Ark Summer Bash 2024 event is ready to begin. This limited time event will only last for two weeks, so there's no time like the present.

PVP/PVE servers will get doubled Harvesting, Taming, Experience, and Breeding rates. Small Tribes get 5x Harvesting, Taming, and Experience with just 4.5x Breeding rates. Lastly, ARKpocalypse gets 5x rates on Harvesting, Taming, Experience, and Breeding.
