Studio Wildcard, the developer of the super popular dinosaur survival sim, ARK: Survival Evolved, is preparing to launch the May Survivor League Championship matches next week. The tournament will take place in the studio's spinoff game, ARK: Survival of the Fittest from 11 am EST to 2 pm EST on Saturday, June 4.
There is more than $65,000 in prizes at stake that will go entirely to the day's winners, so if you are competing, be sure to bring your A-Game (you can always sell what you don't want). You can check out the mayhem on the
official ARK Twitch channel.
The matches will be shoutcasted by streaming personality BikeMan, and are invite-only, based solely on the top-ranked players from May 2016. If you think you are on the cusp of an invite, you can head over to
Survivetheark.com to see where you stand. You have until 11:59 pm EST on Tuesday, May 31 to be ranked and if you are, you will receive an invite via Steam to compete in the Championship.
ARK: Survival of the Fittest is a free-to-play spinoff of ARK: Survival Evolved where players fight to the death in Hunger Games-esque tournaments. The game is currently only available on PC, but it is due to release on PS4 this summer on July 19th 2016.
