The second place winner will take home $5,000, an Alienware X51 desktop computer, and an Nvidia GeForce GTX 960. The grand prize winner of the contest will walk away with $15,000, an Alienware Area-51 desktop computer, and an Nvidia GeForce GTX 980 Ti graphics card. The modding contest asks participants to create a new mod for ARK: Survival Evolved that can be new island maps, underground environments, game modes, structures, and/or items. To celebrate the release of the dev kit, Studio Wildcard is holding a modding competition that is sponsored by Alienware and released a total conversion called Survival of the Fittest.

The dev kit will allow players to make their own weapons, creatures, maps, and game modes. Studio Wildcard, the developer of Ark: Survival Evolved, released a “streamlined version” of the Unreal Engine 4 editor dubbed the Ark Dev Kit today.
