Ark Survival Ascended Announces Turkey Trial Start Date and New Rewards

Thanksgiving is over, but Studio Wildcard still has a few turkeys up its sleeve. Here's what to expect from ASA's first Turkey Trial.

Turkey Trial 6 may have been the last Thanksgiving event for Ark: Survival Evolved, but more turkey-themed rewards are on the horizon for this dino-filled world. Studio Wildcard has officially announced Turkey Trial as the first in-game event for Ark Survival Ascended — a bite-sized iteration, at least. Here’s what we know about the start date and incoming content for Turkey Trial 7 in ASA.

When is the Turkey Trial Event in Ark Survival Ascended, and How Long Will it Last?

With Community Crunch 388, Studio Wildcard shared that it’s bringing back the Turkey Trial in an “abbreviated form” on December 1, 2023. Previously, this event would start on Thanksgiving Day, lasting about two weeks. It’s unconfirmed whether this bite-sized version of it will run for the same amount of time, especially since the holiday has already passed. 

For the uninitiated, these Thanksgiving-themed events were annual scavenger hunts featuring event cosmetics, Chibis, boosted server rates, and the ability to summon the fan-favorite DodoRex. While we don’t know what this will look like on a smaller scale, Wildcard has confirmed five new skins, two new emotes, and several rewards returning from previous trials.
